I learned at least 2 things the other day

[BlueRidgeMark]

But I was in a hurry and not expecting any problems.

Yeah, that's when we make stupid mistakes, ain't it?

I's still learnin'...and will be till they put me in the ground.

That's what my Dad used to say. "The day I stop learning is the day you can shovel dirt on me."

=Cutting the limbs to manageable lengths will definitely save time.

Kevin, a sawbuck like mine would sure help with that stuff.

Plans mailed!


Of course, you can adjust measurements to suit your needs. The plans are currently set up to cut wood to 16".

If you try boring in, be sure to wobble your saw a little bit. That'll help keep it from kicking back for some reason. I learned that trick from our saw gurus.

They are spendier than a peavy, but I use my caulks and legs to get stubborn chunks moved. There is also a secret cut you can do--slanting the sides of your cut, so the chunk will come out easier. I've driven PLASTIC wedges under the log also. Gotta improvise.

Good looking log. I wish I was there to help you. I probably would have just done something dumb like chain the log to my truck and try to roll it over to a better spot for bucking...Take Care

A chain(s), come-along, and cant hook are on my 'need-to-get' list.
