A day cutting wood

[4x4American]

Darn!  Yea I'm on my way back, when you wake up tomorrow it'll all be stickered on John's forks.  If you hear any noises coming from back there, look before you choot!   :D

[Bruno of NH]

I wondered if it was 4x4 with the new mill .
I was right !

[Dave Shepard]

Almost forgot, welcome to Team Orange.

[4x4American]

I even surprised Peter.  I didn't tell him it was me until I got there  :D


Thanks, Dave, makes me feel warm and fuzzy  ;D

[Magicman]

I see that the profile has changed.  Congratulations on the new Orange, and thanks to Peter for being the host.

My, you guys could keep the Easter Bunny a secret.   

[JohnM]

I know there is no straight route across VT and NH. :D

I went to pick up my (used) Lucas in Plattsburgh, NY from eastern Maine two years ago.  It's a beautiful drive, including a ferry ride, but a straight route was NOT part of the trip. :D

Congrats on the mill, 4x4!

[Dave Shepard]

At least you didn't have to wait 14 years like I did. :D

[4x4American]

Thanks fellas... 8)


Dave I've been waiting for one since 1980!  Thats a long time cornsidering I wasn't even conceived yet  :D

[Magicman]

You will find that the wait was worth it.   8)

[4x4American]

Lots to learn.  Looking forward to it 

[Peter Drouin]

That's a lot of mill. 8) 8)

[Magicman]

I am curious about the control panel/box.  I am assuming that it is Command Control and not stationary on the hitch end and can be moved?

Just swings to one side and go.

Nice! You are going to love that mill, 4x4! Is it a Super?

[Bandmill Bandit]

congrats 4X4 and welcome to team Orange. May take a few days to wear that RED rust off your hands though!

:D

[thecfarm]

Congrats on the new mill!!!! That Peter sure is a helpful guy.

[Bruno of NH]

4x4 did you go I-89 to Peters ?
If so you went right by my place exit 13 Grantham NH

[4x4American]

Thanks everyone!  Sure was busy today..


Bruno- I mainly took Rt 11.  I was on some real rough roads for a spell and I noticed the sawhead slapping back and forth, but now I know that I can engage the auto clutch to keep it tight. 
I did get on I89 for one exit 12-11.


Barbender, yes it's a super  ;)  fixing to put my offbearers to work


MM-  it is stationary or remote as they call it.  it's pinned to the receiver hitch end side, just spin it around, pin it, and ready to rock.  I stay at the end of the mill and the sawhead rides through the log.

[Magicman]

Looks like a neat setup and with the hydraulic controls at your fingertips.   8)

I can't believe Ross did not tell you to that with the head. : Or he did, And you where smiling to much to listen. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
So now you have to cut out a mill shed.  ;D

[Peter Drouin]

Lumber going out :D :D :D :D :D


 

[Magicman]

It's good to see you sawing Peter.  Looks like you are drying out too. 

[4x4American]

That's a good load where's she off to?

Yes the snow is gone and It is getting warmer too. The phone is ringing off the hook.
That was the 3# wack of lumber today. The other two were not quite as much.
Things are getting crazy, But it about time, A very long winter.  8) 8) 8) 8)

That's a good load where's she off to?

The next town over for a barn.

[Magicman]

Yup, it took me a while to get the initial flurry of jobs that had built up, knocked down.
