One needs to aim a little higher with the forks, makes awfull lookin' fenders to show such nice lookin' logs. just saying...... ;D

WDH · July 05, 2015, 09:51:05 PM

:D :D

It is the rolling of the logs off the trailer, not the forks, that is the problem.

One needs to get a bigger trailer

.

It never ends...... :-\.

I can see you are all full of eagerness to get after those logs. :laugh: Who wouldn't be.
If you put the 33 incher on the mill be very cautious of how you turn it. Don't get in a hurry. Those big boys have a way of rolling off over the back stops.

>:( :

I found that putting some type of extension on the back stop for the first couple of turns is cheap insurance.

Those black oak logs are some kind of pretty.

Well don't over do it in the heat. My heat tolerance is lower than yours. ;D

Funny story about a trailer...A buddy of mine was delivering some wood on an incredibly beat up, rusted out utility trailer. It was so bad I offered to weld some of it back together before he went home, about 20 miles. He said he didn't have time, and didn't want to drive at night because none of his taillights worked and he didn't want to get a ticket. I joked and said maybe night time was best because then maybe then the cops wouldn't ever see him.. :D

It may end sometime, but I haven't seen it yet, either. :D

Robert,

Southern red oak, Quercus falcata

.

I must confess that this little trailer takes quite a licking.

SD, this heat can be bad, real bad. Being under the shed and having the ~~POWER BOX and FAN~~ big fan helps.

Does it cut out better than black oak (Quercus velutina)? Bark is very similar.

Robert,
I also now have a set of pipe extentions for the uprights, one lives and learns, those big dudes find a way of jumpin' off at the wosrt of times. :-\ Oh... remember to take them off after the log is turned. ;)

Oh man...

Very nice mill and setup overall! I'm looking forward to reading about your adventures with the new mill.

I can remember a time when WDH would have brought those logs over here to get them sawed. I think I have been replaced. ;D

Jake from State Farm? :D :D :D :D

Jake from state farm.I see the goat is still stirring the pot.No wonder he didn"t make the project this year.

WDH · July 08, 2015, 08:23:46 PM

Robert,

Southern red oak is generally a little better quality than black oak. Down here, they can both make some really nice trees.

isawlogs · July 08, 2015, 09:17:02 PM

:P Can some of those nice trees become nice lumber, many times I have sawn what some would call nice trees into lumber that was, at best.... wood. :-\
Just wondering if the fast growth would afffect the usability of the trees as lumber.
