First off my neighbor came over around noon to help me get the log up onto the supports. It wasn't too difficult with a couple jack-alls and my floor jack.
Since I took so many pictures I kept them down to 800 X 600 for you dialup folks.
Those blocks look undermatched to the log! But it's so bloody heavy it isn't going anywhere.
From the "high" end with all the machines out of the way.
I marked out the 8X12 I wanted to cut with the heart boxed in the center. I marked the lines using a level instead of a square; I find it more accurate.
Debarking took less than 10 minutes with my little offset broadaxe because the tree had been dead standing for a while.
And here are the little buggers responsible:
