A day cutting wood

[Peter Drouin]

The snow will go fast, One day and mud. :D :D



  

  

 

I use cull lumber to make and fix pallets to put lumber on.


 

[Peter Drouin]

This stoped the mill.



  

  

 

Small but very hard steel.

Rain today,


 

[barbender]

     Dang tree step? I hate those things >:(

[thecfarm]

Oh no!!!  :( Hope it was a blade that had been resharpened a few times.

[Peter Drouin]

One I heat treated. :D

[Kbeitz]

One I heat treated. :D

Guess it wasnt heat treated enough...

[Magicman]

Ouch!   

[Peter Drouin]

Today, some of the hard to find W Oak came in. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)



  

  

  

All 16'  Have an order for some 6x10x16.  2010BF on the load with trucking $1000.00 to put that in the yard.

[Bruno of NH]

Nice score on the white oak :)

[bkaimwood]

Decent to nice oak at an economy price...good deal Peter... I paid just about that yesterday for barely the equal quality in EWP...but I finally have 5k bf on hand...

[4x4American]

Nice logs Pete.  And I see he already scaled them too.  Was he close to what you scaled or didn't ya scale em?

[Peter Drouin]

He did, And is right on the money with the BF. He's a new guy I found. He buys a lot of hardwood from the loggers. And sells it to anyone with the money.  :D :D :D 

[4x4American]

Ah I see so it's from a broker?  Then did you have to hire trucker or does he take care of that?

[Peter Drouin]

 Trucking on me.

[chrissheerman]

I didn't know people had such good operations going in NH i'm over in unity just starting sawing lumber for myself with a used mighty mite I bought. So far I like it haven't had time yet this year me and my father just have to much going on. Im trying to help him get his old house sold i'm trying to get permits to build my house and my mother past away last week so all ive done is start the engine and use the hydraulics on the head to see if everything is working okay this year. looking at the photos of that wood-mizer you have are making me drool though. Really happy to see other people in NH like making saw dust as much as me. Hope you all have a great summer.

[Peter Drouin]

Too bad about your mom. I know how you feel. My brother Mark past last week too.
There's a lot of mills in NH. 3 others in my town all Wood Mizers but, I'm the only one selling lumber. ;D

[Peter Drouin]

Had some friends with me for lunch today.



  

  

  

 

After I had lunch my drive belt fell apart. Had an old one and put that in.



  

  

  

 
Have to take the brake band off to get the belt out.



 

I back off the belt adjustment thing.

And grease the thing too.



  

 

I put some never seas on the shaft with the old/ new belt  :D
Put it all together and in the first cut on some W Oak the belt rips in half. :



 
I have 2 new one coming.
Do all think I can run without a third of the belt. :D :D :D :D

[4x4American]

Holy cow what a mess...well at least you had a good lunch.  Looks like there was enough friends there to have lunch for a year or two

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

 

[4x4American]

Got any to share?  I'm all out..some clown uninstalled all my popcorn

[paul case]

That's called ''practice''.

PC

[Peter Drouin]

New belt on, Had to move the drive pulley out some. When I put in the new motor mount I could see it was out a little.



  

  
I use an old blade for the line up. 100% now.  ;D

[Peter Drouin]

Well, The rain stopped and the sun is out. The loggers are at it, Got a load of Hemlock in with some W Oak.  8)



  

  

 
Think the pith is off some. :D :D :D

[bkaimwood]

No leaners there, Peter....honest, not growing on a Hillside...you need a few challenging logs here and there, to keep you sharp and thinking!!! Just got my 3rd load of EWP today...only 6 logs...scaled to 1600 ft, 12 footers...
Almost a month since an update, Peter?

[WDH]
