Some pictures I took today

[Blairgowrie]

I think I told some of you that I have been logging some of the big white cedar out of the swamp. Here are some pictures of the cedars and the logging winch.

After I cut them down, I haul them out to an open area and take all the branches off and burn the branches, then I hook the trees back up and drag them off to the sawmill.

Nice pics. That takes me back 20 years. Wading through the brash to chain the line on used to kill me,ha.

Doesn't look too swampy, m8. No alligators I hope. Better weather than Wales for sure.

Good work Jim,

[Blairgowrie]

@Klinger. Oh, it is swampy alright. There is water flowing through it at a good speed. If I took the tractor off the road I have built it would go down fast.

@Bucky. It will be used for buidling decks. The guy wants *8 x 8's, 6 x 6's and lots of 1 1/2 x 6 for decking. Good money.

You have got one hell of a back garden BG

@klinger, Damn right isnt it!

Hmmm...your link wouldn't work for me JP,so I made my own.

[Enforcer57]

That was a big ass tree Bucky. And JP, I wonder if they get upset when somebody shoots a beaver. I think those broads should be working in a cut rate house of ill repute.

And BG......man I could set up a hellacious shooting range in that place. You could shoot .50 cal barret sniper rifles and not worry about hitting anything you didn't want to.

Hell, for that matter, you could shoot 105 howitzers in that place. Neat.

What makes you think he doesn't?

Although I think BG uses them only to clear his ski hills from avalanche dangers...

JP,

~S~ BG,

I've never laughed so hard in my life. Then I got a little sad when I realized how weak and shallow my Country has become. Oh well, at least we have stupid people to laugh and point at.

[Streak]

Oh man that's funny. I suppose if they saw a video of my cohorts cutting down a tree with a shotgun it would make their heads explode.

[Blairgowrie]

Some more pictures.

[Tonar]

That Thar is a Nice Hunk of Wood you got there BG.

[Klinger]

Thats some cool kit BG. I didn't realize the bandsaw would cut horizontally. What controls the speed of the cut, and the blade/band tension? Looks hydraulic.

Getting the log on that rig looks a heavy operation. I dont see forks on the front bucket of the backhoe, how do you do it?

Interesting side of woodwork that I never get to see. Thanks for posting.

LOL Rattler. I've noticed a few 'WTF moments' among new guys when '20 seconds guys' is announced.

Its an effective way to learn this rule.

Thanks for the info on bandsaw setup BG.

[Blairgowrie]

I'll go and take some pictures of my new blade sharpener. Still having problems with the blades I have sharpened with it. Thought it might be the set but that checks ok. Got me a bit puzzled.

[Klinger]

A couple of reasons I have found for saws failing to cut straight.
