Nice pics as usual Nate. I may have to take a trip to I-Dee-Ho to have you teach this old dog how to make them pretty felling cuts. Did you ever get the bar stud fixed on the 462?Was snowing last night and this morning, good day for the heated handle hooskie View attachment 911697View attachment 911698Sure nice out this evening thoughView attachment 911699
Thanks Steve. Sounds good, would be great to have you here anytime!Nice pics as usual Nate. I may have to take a trip to I-Dee-Ho to have you teach this old dog how to make them pretty felling cuts. Did you ever get the bar stud fixed on the 462?
I know nothing of the beech for that application, but white oak is great for trailers. If it were me I would use the white oak on the outside rows of the trailer and use the beech in the middle if it's a lawn maintenance type trailer. If it has a dovetail I would also try to use the white oak on that if you have enough.And a question. I seem to have an excess of beech atm. I know it's just dandy for fire wood, but I wanted to know if anyone thinks it would make decent lumber for deck wood? And if so how to treat it. Seems my trailer could use some wood, I have 3 white oak trunks to mill, but it won't be enough to redo the entire deck. What's your thoughts?
Those dang stihls, loosing nuts and bolts and leaking bar oil .Thanks Steve. Sounds good, would be great to have you here anytime!
No not really. I ground out a groove and tried filling it with some epoxy putty I had but didn’t seem to want to stick. Cleaned it out and filled it with seal all, at least it’s not leaking bar oil now, I’ll probably sell it to chipper
Edit-not all my felling cuts look like that
Yeah it's my deck over, the beaver tail needs the most attention... the ends of the boards at the ramp angle are rotting away. Made some funny sounds when I loaded up the expedition to take to my cousins for the engine swap this weekend. I like the beech in the middle of the deck idea. Keep the oak where tires normally drive. I think I'll be good on screws, my old man bough about 100lbs of them at auction years ago. Only thing that sucks about them is they are the pre drill type. The taper on the end won't drill the channel under the wood. Should work well enough.I know nothing of the beech for that application, but white oak is great for trailers.

If you need new fasteners to secure the boards, check with "Fastenal", you can get larger boxes for a "fair" price, but they do get quite costly.
On my 20' aluminum trailer I used white oak for the 4 outside boards on the huge 1" dovetail lol. Then I put a 2x10or 12 (cant remember which) on the deck where I need to drive with screws since the trailer was covered with 5/4 board . It's an okay trailer, I've made it work, and it doesn't owe me anything; but it isn't a great trailer for working, more for hauling quads or a couple itv's, guess that's what I get for buying off an auction without looking at it before bidding. I'd like to trade it off or sell it and get a nice hd 20' steel trailer. I bought a well used tilt trailer I need to go thru before using much, but it had no problem hauling a 99 suburban parts truck last fall. I need to fix the dolly again and I want to flip it over and look at the pivot bolt as there is side to side play at the tongue. I'd hate to have the bolt break flying down the rd 75mph.Yeah it's my deck over, the beaver tail needs the most attention... the ends of the boards at the ramp angle are rotting away.

I was totally joking, I have more stihls than most hardcore stihl guys, and the 462 is currently my #1 recommendation for a 70cc saw(and I prefer huskys). My primary work saws are an ms200, ms261(ported), and a HT103 pole saw, then whatever flavor of 70cc saw needs to be run. Sometimes I'll swap out the 261 for a 550 if there is a lot of limbing.I‘ve had Stihl saws 22 years without that happening, I haven’t had the wrong shade of orange saw. My uncle had one, I didn’t like it.

I didn't, that's why I usually put lol or something similar, I just don't want anyone upset over saw colors . I like saws!If you didn’t see what I posted as humor and light hearted, you have the WOOSH factor going on.
