Mowed about 3 weeks ago but might need to "top it off" again, just to make it look a little nicer.

Who can use a few 12" X 12" beams? :-)

It's fine for me Doc, can't read anyway. :-)

No, didn’t seal anything. I covered the frame with backer board and applied the adhesive to the Air Stone and stuck it onto the backer board. It held for a couple of years before the Air Stone started to fall off. The adhesive stuck pretty well to the backer board but didn’t stick worth a...

A few years ago I had built an outdoor BBQ on my upstairs deck and covered it with Air Stone, a type of fake rock finish. It looked great! But then last year the adhesive we used started to separate and the rock was falling off. Really gripes me too because we bought what the manufacturer...

My Mother-in-law hadn’t seen the sawmill yet so today we took her down to the barn for a demo. I didn’t have anything worth milling so I grabbed a limb that came off a large Red Oak that the wind blew down a month or so ago. I explained how we wouldn’t get much “good” lumber out of it and that...

A couple of months ago I took down a dead Hemlock and cut it into several hundred lineal feet of 1X6 to be used as baseboard in a house that I’m rehabbing. I spent the last week installing hardwood floors in this old house and today I started to install the 1X6 baseboard. It looked OK but...

A couple of months ago this would have been nothing more than firewood. Took the base of a Locust and cut it into slabs. Not sure what I'll do with them, they're kinda small, but I'm sure something will come up. Also, cut the base of an apple tree that was knocked down several years ago. It...

Wow Doc, that's really nice!

Some pretty high winds took down a few trees the last couple of days. This White Oak made its way to the mill where it became 4-12' long 6X6's and 2-12' long 2X12's. :-) Sorry I don't have better pics of the finished product but the battery in the camera was on its last leg. But you get the...

Cut this cant out of what I think it Maple but I'm not 100% sure. Anyhow, it was neat to cut into the tree and find such beauty. I'm going to make some cool paneling out of it. And to think I used to make firewood out of trees like this. Note: A cant is a log that is squared on two or...

I have several decks to build, along with a pergola, chicken coop, and a small cabin. I’m cutting 4X6 White Oak beams and 5/4 for decking. Posts will be Locust. The chicken coop will require 2X4’s and 1X8 lap siding, both out of White Oak. Good for me I have a ton of White Oak out here and...

It's a Norwood HD36 portable sawmill. Have so many projects going on that I decided to make my own lumber vs buying it from Lowes.

I was unaware of Belle's passing. You have my deepest condolences. I lost my copilot Shep on December 19th and we're still wiping tear from our eyes. Shep never was much of a driver, perhaps Belle is giving him some pointers?

Yeah, those are nice !

Agreed, on these days I'm only going outside to load the dragon with firewood. But there always seems to be plenty to do on days when it's a warm, toasty 20*, and it's those days that I'm looking for something to keep my fingers warm. :wink: Thanks BC.

lol, it gets -3 during the Winter, that's cold enough! I'm looking for something flexible enough that I can pick up tools, like a wrench. They need to be waterproof and I want them to be WARM. I've got as many gloves in the drawer as I do holsters, seems the same rules apply for both. Buy...

Can anyone recommend some work gloves that actually keep your hands warm? I have plenty that seem to hold in the cold but none that retain any heat. TIA

So I've had this thing for just shy of 4 months and the love affair is over. Poor investment on my part. To loud, gear box is quirky, engine probably works well on a bike but not so well on this. Can't engage all wheel drive on the fly, have to be completely stopped. Poor gas mileage. Has...

Man, that's nice BC. Takes me a month every year to gather my wood, cut it into the correct lengths, split it and haul it up to the outdoor furnace. Better than paying Duke Energy though!
