Its good to see folks taking the young-uns hunting. I just took my four year old girl on her first ever hunt yesterday. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w187/junglejimk/DSCF8283.jpg I'm not ready to get her up in a tree stand just yet, so I made a special ground blind for her to hu...

So, woodbutcher, you are a fellow bridge jumper eh? Like you, I was in the water for several hours of every day when I was a kid. I was fortunate enough to live pretty close to where two "rivers" came together, there was a bridge over each of them. I think they were about 25 feet high. One...

I dont think it's the colorado potato beetle that gave me problems TB, I am able to keep them in check. It was some kind of boring insect that attacked the taters underground, It was like they drilled holes in them as they ate their way in and made dark spots that spoiled pretty quickly, they did th...

Good looking garden TB! I have never had great luck with onions, I do OK with almost everything else. The plant you asked about is Kholrabi, I have a couple rows of it myself, just ate some two nights ago cut into sticks & dipped in salad dressing. I love my greens, okra, corn, and maters most o...

Thanks guys, I kinda figured lower would be better, but I have seen some of you post pics with slightly elevated set-ups. Robert in particular, it looks like your mill rails are not much below waist high when the mill is in your shed. My mill has "sunk" into the sawdust so to speak over th...

Some of you guys are mobile and have set up your mill many times at different places. Can anyone offer advice on what you have found to be the most advantageous height to set the mill up at. (how high do you usually set up your mill) My mill has grown roots under a shed, hasnt been moved since I set...

Awesome idea WB! I am in the process of building a trailer that I intended to be able to tote my mill on, or convert to haul logs on, both in the woods and on the road. Now you fed me a new twist, just add track rails, bunks, and a dogging system to it and leave the old Norwood track under the shed!...

Woodbutcher, have you considered getting Norwood's Multi-mate to go along with that machine? I'd like to fabricate something like that someday.

I dont get that one Mr Mom. If your scale is secured to the rigid frame, and your "pointer" is affixed to something solid on your sawhead, it should never get off by that much. Is there any way that your bunks are moving down? Maybee your wheels are raising up on a bed of sawdust on the tr...

Ditto in Traphill. The way I see it, You might as well go ahead and take your punishment out on criminals when you get the opportunity, because you know the justice system aint gonna do squat!

There ya go WB, like any other newly aqcuired tool or equipment, you will soon be wondering how you got along without it. I guarantee that your new machine combined with your arch will be able to move a whopper of a log! Now just dont go riding all over other folks land without permission, (there is...

Yeah, it might be nice, slick, smart work and all that BUT it aint safe! If you ever do try it, make sure you got good clear escape routes, always cut the second tree from the side that affords the best protection, and always err on the side of having too little slack in the chain. I have done this ...

Got one leaner going the right way, another nearby going the wrong way. So I climb up and hook a chain between them, taking into account angle of pull, amount of slack, weight x height to the 3rd power / the curvature of the earth, etc. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w187/junglejimk/...

I had several spare sheets of good 3' wide roofing metal & ridge cap, and I was getting tired of chasing the metal around every time the wind gusts hit, (has it been incredibly windy for the last 4-5 years or am I just imagining things?) So, I took some 1.5 x 3" poplar and made some frames:...

It was about 4 & 1/2 feet wide, no danger of the dozer going in. I am not going to state that it was filled in due to the environmental laws that exist about filling wells. But I will say this, as I "accidentaly" drove over it again repeatedly with a blade full of soil, it somehow grew...

As if you didnt have enough to worry about... I just wanted to point out a danger that might be present in the kinds of areas that you guys might be working in.

Just by the picture, Northern red oak would have been my first guess. If its been dead some time, that could explain the paler wood tone and light weight. If you are certain that its not oak, then maybee Ashe, or some kind of Hickory are possibilties. I think I would rule out Maple, cucumber, and ba...
