Blairgowrie Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 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.

Klinger Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairgowrie Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 @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.

DD_Bucky Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Hmmm...your link wouldn't work for me JP,so I made my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer57 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 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.

Although I think BG uses them only to clear his ski hills from avalanche dangers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAim Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Meanwhile...in BG's backyard...a sound is heard http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/906397/ 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 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonar Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 That Thar is a Nice Hunk of Wood you got there BG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klinger Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 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.

Klinger Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
