Start your saws!
« on: August 27, 2014, 11:04:35 am »
 It took 2 trips to the mill, and for once I'm glad I own a 3/4 ton, but it's sitting in the driveway waiting for me this fall. I asked another keep if I went overboard, and his reply was great!
"Better to be looking at it, than for it!"  :laugh:

1,000 feet of 9 3/4" and 1,000 feet of 6 3/4", all 7/8" thick.
That pile is almost all 16' long. Should be enough to do 140 boxes of deeps and 140 of mediums.
OK Scott, Yankee11, the rest of you, if you get bored this winter and find yourselves in the neighbourhood......... :) :D

At my age I'm tired just looking at those stacks of wood Perry.   You will be busy!   :)

yes, having a 3/4-ton is almost always great to have... just not at the fuel pump... But I accept that.

You are too kind Perry.  I look a bit different this week though......A sting above the left eye has improved my appearance some.  A sting on the face is as good as botox for removing wrinkles.  And I'm still tired looking at those stacks of lumber. ;)

Lou, did you know that there are bee venom acupuncturists out there that do Beetox? as opposed to Botox. Seriously! I now one of them! She uses acupuncture to tighten up the facial muscles, and then bvt to fill in the wrinkles. It's seems bizarre but it actually works, and the patient doesn't get any negative back lashes from the botox.  :)

Perry,
Although on a smaller scale, I bought a few boards this past weekend and started cutting deeps and mediums. 

Slowly but surely I'm figuring out the best method for a cutting sequence for the RAS.  A 12 ft 1x12 board will yield two boxes and the rip waste can be used for bottom boards, inner and outer cover frames, entrance reducers, etc.
