A day cutting wood

[Andries]

Impressive Doug!
You're gonna be the "Pallet King" of the NorthEast in no time.  ;D

4x4 you need to get 2 sawdust blowers and the conveyors.  Keep a trailer parked and dump them both right into it, simple way to handle that issue and one that is easy on the bank compared to the hours you'll spend on sawdust doing it the manual way.  The blowers are 1-3k used, same for conveyors, and you'll need a power source but at the rate you're producing it would be cheaper to do that than hire a person.  It would also automate the process of selling the sawdust, let your customer just bring a trailer and you let them know when it's full and they can haul away.  Just thoughts..

All 1" 4x4?

My exhaust manifold was a factory defect. WM paid out off pocket to repair it so I wouldn't have to fight CAT.

[Peter Drouin]

Good WM did that for you. 8) 8)

Just got back in.. I was adjusting my bed rails on the WM they were all cattywampus (the bolts became loose somehow) when I got a call from the pallet buyer said that he wanted to send a truck tomorrow am to pick up what I have done so far on his most recent ASAP *** URGENT *** 17mbf order lol...so I hada drop what I was doing and run all them cants through the hungry hungry Baker.  Got em all cut by about 8pm or so.  I think before I get any sawdust blowers I needa get a DUG blower to cool me down on these hot days lol

I absolutely do need some form of sawdust collection.  First I need to run a power service in to the saw shed, and before I can do that I need to get the backhoe fixed, and to do that I need to make sawdust lol vicious cycle.




Thanks Darrell

But you earned that whooping in a good way.  I am happy to see your foresight paying off and your stars aligning.  You may not be there yet with the fine tuning, but the progress is obvious.   

[Peter Drouin]

OK 4x4 why is some boards turned?

[Peter Drouin]

Summer is here, About time. 8) 8)

OK 4x4 why is some boards turned?

To keep the packs more stable because if I stacked them all the same way they wouldnt be able to move the pack around after they reverse band it.  I do a full layer of sideways because if you just do two or three that hardwood will twist and move where it's not being supported especially if it sits for a few days. 




Thanks MM

4x4,

Once you get your electric service ran, check out the Timberking/Woodmaster sawdust blowers.  They sell two dust collector units, but you can buy just the blower assembly off them - I think it would serve your needs.

POWERBOX and FAN.

[petefrom bearswamp]

Well I am old and slow and mainly alone, so I sticker as it comes off the saw unless an order is to be picked up soon then dead stack and give them stickers if they ask.
Been slowed down this last week and a half due to mr and mrs robin working hard to raise 3 babies.
At first they would just sit outside nearby and chirp until I left the area, but now I just shut the saw off and sit back and watch them feed  the little ones
They look like they should be gone by weeks end.
This happens every year.

[Dave Shepard]

48" barn fans help. Just drink more water, as they will dry you out.

[paul case]

Those chicken house fans really do help and if you can set them right they will help keep the dust blowing away from you. I am going to find an old push lawnmower and set a fan on it''portable ac''.  I am getting a patent. :D ;D 8)

[Peter Drouin]

It was 80°cut a little pine and did the fan thing on some 1x12x8.


 


Loggers I called are on hard wood, No W Pine for a week or two.
So I called a concentration yard,  :D :D
They have a yard in NH, With an office in Beecher Falls VT. Hardwood mill in Can, Champeau .

Call and things happen,  :D :D :D
