Just some furniture pictures

Well, Just wanted to prove that we do furniture fabrication here in the shop, beside Sawmilling and Hardwoods sells.

Loading a log on the mill

Alright, Just wanted to give you an idea how I can load logs on the mill while here at the shop
The mill does have a hydraulic log loader, but when setup here it's not necessary to use.
The electric hoist will handle 2,000lbs, as will the trolly it's mounted on. The I-beam is a 4" x 8'x 20' long.

All right, here is another video where I'm unloading a couple of Cherries,, pretty streight foward,, just gotta be careful around heavy logs.

O.K.
I am new to the video thingie, but here is how I pick up logs, and how I unload them sometimes,, when I'm not ready to mill them,,
In the one video is a very large Pecan log,,

Really large Cherry Hardwood

Just wanted to share with you that sometimes it is more advantages to split a log 1st with the Beast, before putting it on the mill,, Oh The Beast,,, That is a chainsaw that I aquired back in 1977,, the saw is 100cc,, that's big for a chain saw,, and it sports a 36' bar,, it will cut thru a very large tree in seconds,, but anyway, I had a Hugh cherry crotch that ws just a bit to large for the mill and found it best to split it 1st, before milling,,
It made nice lumber as well as 3 nice tabletop or bar top size slabs.

Well I just finished an improvement on the sawmill.
I cut off and removed the axles, pulled the log loader, and added more frame to the existing frame, to beef up the machine and make set-up and break down faster and easier when on the job.

Swedish Candle in Action

Well as mentioned before and in an earlier post you can see me cutting a short pine cut off, into a Swedish candle.
Recently we were up in Perry Ga on a 3-4 day camping trip, and we took 4 of them with us, 1 for each night.
I did happen to get a pretty good shot of one burning. No the yellow Lab in the photo is not ours,, belongs to the campground.
