Re: Timberrrrrr....
Man Lenn, that's quite a log. That will no doubt make a lot of lumber. You have anything special in mind for it?

The ticks are an epidemic here. Guy found 2 dead moose the other day just covered. Maine has the highest lyme disease rate in the country. Funny thing is up until a few years ago, I'd never even seen a tick.
Sorry you're still hurting my friend. Prayers sent.

Tell ya one thing if a person didn`t have to hear all the stuff that`s going on with the witch hunt of Trump it would help.
Which of coarse is part of the lefts plan to divide the country, sure hope some good comes out of all this soon as its effecting us in a bad way.
Heck most of us can remember when we didn`t think about this stuff at all, lock our doors and feel like we`re loosing our country.

Re: Timberrrrrr....
Ever since I felled my first tree 20+ years ago, a chainsaw is my favorite outdoor tool. Indoors, I'd choose a lathe. Felling the tree is the most fun, especially when you sight along your outstretched arm and try to estimate exactly where the top will fall -- I'd place a small marker at that spot, and I nailed it one time.
Missed it BIG one time too , but nobody got hurt and no damage was done.
Yup, felling the tree is the fun part -- THEN all the work begins to clear it.
Good luck with the lumbering.

I was going to say something clever about "Putting a little excitement...." and then I thought the better of finishing it; but as a rider, you probably know the old quote anyhow.

Sure makes me miss my woods, my tractor and my chainsaw. A guy just feels good dropping a few trees and bucking them up. I feel sorry for those who have never had the experience.
I was not fortunate enough to have my own mill, however.

Pitchy, you might have bulged a disk. That's not a quick fix, friend. Might need an injection. Been there, done that. OUCH!
Re: Timberrrrrr....
I`m sure I over worked it yesterday , it does this about once or so a year never bothers much then move just wrong and bad pain.
So far I can move around anyway, sometimes its in bed for a week.

Doesn't that kind of work make you feel good, Pitch? Judging by the sleeveless shirt, I am guessing it is still "pre-skeeter" season.
Re: Timberrrrrr....
It got 83 degrees yesterday must be a record.
Only supposed to et around today, yep no skeeters yet but those dern knats are coming out.
May go fire up the mill today it rained a little so no fire danger.

We'll be DESPERATELY NEEDING a Youtube of your mill running, Lenn!
Re: Timberrrrrr....
Why they call me Pitchy.The first log was so big we had to whittle on it a bunch so didn`t film that because of time
If the saw won`t reach through ya have to chainsaw a little.
Good pile of lumber for two logs.

Thanks guys, I`ve thought about buying a band mill or building one but I can`t justify the expense for the little we saw.
If I didn`t have this old mill I`d probably get one though, a band mill saves a lot of lumber and cuts smooth.
