But at the moment I’m hauling a bunch of mattresses with a license plate that says redneck I look like the Beverly hillbillies

So that little black handle looking thing, is that the electric plug in? Nice looking saw Charles, might be a tad big for tree work but time will tell. Nice grabber teeth too.

I see you have the proper PPE on too!!! Close toed shoes... should be a great little saw.

On electric, house I’m currently tending to owns all electric yard tools, them worx brand things... blower and weed eater are really quite impressive. Battery lasts a lot longer than expected.

And it’s 4 pounds lighter than the battery saws....

Now I may try a battery powered pole saw pruner soon.  That seems like the perfect type use for a battery saw.

Started making cabinet doors yesterday and found that my second set of pipe clamps were for 3/4 pipe instead of 1/2inch. Need to return and exchange them.

Had some lumber milled for bunk beds and may have over shot the mark.  6x6 posts are stupid heavy and true 2x8 rails are also heavy.  Guessing the bunk beds will weigh 400+ pounds. May have to think about that a bit.

6x6 posts are pretty massive for bunk beds.   Can’t wait to see what they look like.   Have a older lady who came into the cabinet shop and asked us if we could build bunk beds.  We plan on it.  But don’t have a plan of attack yet

Yeah, 4x6 might have been a better choice. However, the 6x6 would be really cool looking and if Ken ever brings H over she could sleep on the top bunk w/o anyone having to worry about it collapsing on them!  :facepalm:

Maybe some strategically placed removal of wood would help the weight on those posts? Bore holes from the ends in with a large bit or router out some deep grooves in back side possibly? Could even incorporate it as part of the joiner process, get creative to lighten it up but keep the appearance.

Well got a call from the constable.  My huge red oak by the front of the property fell on the road and blocked it. TX DOT was called and they cut the big limbs and pushed them up in a pile by the fence.



I had planned to cut it down in the next couple of weeks. It wasn’t looking too well

Yeah.  I’m not even sure my 28 inch bar will get through the main trunk in one pass.  But the new small saw is a real work horse.  I worked it 3 1/2 hours and it ate through everthing. Most of the limbs they piled up by the fence are about 10-12 inches in diameter.  It was finicky to start a couple times so I’ll keep an eye on it.  It sure is nice to have a powerful 10lb saw.  Tomorrow I get to run the beast and tackle the main trunk and big forks.  If I do it right I may be able to avoid bad damage to the barbed wire fence as it’s stretching the top to strands but the branches are holding it up where they hit the ground.

Yes I have super unleaded no ethanol I get from the farm and fuel store.  Gas and oil mix is fresh.

I learned the hard way not to use gas to start a fire.  Almost blew myself up.  Had a pile of leaves about 10 ft in diameter and 4 ft tall that I poured gas on and then realized the match box was empty.  By the time I went to the house and retrieved another box it had all vaporized and was trapped between all the leaves.

One match and it exploded loud enough to bring neighbors of their houses from 3 doors down.  I must of looked like that cartoon character with soot face and white, wide open eyes.

An oak like that will have some nice wood in it if you are inclined to oak.
Also makes some great wood fire steaks too.

I do need a table,maybe that would work.  I’ll see how big a slab I have to work with


I have a 20ft trailer piled high with just the wood 4 inches and better from the limbs and haven’t touched the mains yet.

Best way to start a huge bonfire at an outdoor bachelor party- Gallon of gas poured on huge brush pile,  1/4 gallon of gas set 3 feet away, light candle behind 1/4 gallon - one well placed shot from shotgun from a suitable distance and BANG!  Instant blaze, no burnt appendages and lots of bugged out eyeballs magically return to their sockets amid laughter and another cold beer!

Got up at 04:00 and drank quoffee until 05:00 then left for the hide. Made good time but along I-45 there was a large pine tree down on the northbound side in the dark. I came up on it about 5-10 minutes after it happened. A few vehicles were pulled over with flashers on. An ambulance stopped and blocked the freeway to keep others from hitting it.   Miracle no one was killed.

Stopped for breakfast in Trinity at a little place where old men drink coffee and chat loudly.

Made it here about sun up and got to work on cabinet doors and while some were glued up I tackled the shower enclosure.  It really was a two man job handling 1/2 thick panels of glass but I managed to dodge a bullet.



Then adjusted the temp on the water heater

Well between gluing up cabinet doors and staining I tackled this today.  My 28 inch bar would not get through it in one pass.

Sharpened the chain and took some height off the depth gauges and that made a huge difference.  It went through 30 plus inches of red oak like butter.

And I was able to save the fence.

Red oak. Hard. That piece on the other side of the fence is about 6 foot long I’m going to see if my tractor will move it and I’ll take it to the mill and have it milled into wood for a table

Charles,
How would you process the wood? as in drying to avoid cracking, how thick to make the slabs? I'd like to make a few things likewise, but to buy one kiln dried slab of oak is stupid expensive like 150 iirc.
