Unique Cross Leg Table

Well Now I have yet another table to share. This one is solid Oak construction.

The customer brought me a magazine picture, and wanted one just like it. They Wrote in there deminsions, I gave them a cost on fabrication, they liked it, and I went to work.

This table as a unique leg design, in which the legs cross each other, and of course a coffee table is not complete with out alower shelf.

This was a fun table to build, well I like building any kind of table.

The customer sent this photo to me after they had it in place.

Picnic table with end benches

O.k. just wanted to add to the list of stuff that I do around here,,
a picnic table that is 10 feet long with end benches.
This table has been coated over and under with Marine spar varnish to resist the weather.
The end benches could be omitted and post could go in place with a light framing over head for a canopy, or even a pergola.

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.
