WAY too organized!! How do you find anything unless it's under some pile? 

Very nice!

He'll get there

He just doesn't have enough stuff (junk) yet!

Maybe a quick visit to Norm's place and he can get a few piles...

Thanks for sharing!

HC, had a thought, you should give it some serious consideration.

That truck is useless!

Yep, no good what so ever!

In fact it could adversly affect your life

Really!

It has already proven itself to be unsafe

It barely runs anymore

It needs everything, heck even tires (Which never normally wear out  )

With you spending all this time with it, have you considered how this is adversely affecting your marriage?

Or time with the kids?

See where I'm going here??

Get rid of that thing before it all turns south and you become the first cop in history living under a bridge.

Save yourself man!

I'll try and make time to come out there and tow the piece of junk away. Yea, it will inconvenience me, but for a fellow soldier, I'll do it!  I could possibly get Bobby to help. He needs room for his expanding family. (Now a girlfriend and a dog!)

Do the right thing...

Mr. Codrea, being a national militia leader brings these things into the narrative. I view this as "Intelligence" about social changes that may well try to influence the way we live and what we believe in America...Bears keeping an eye on.





Ugly Domestic Enemy Rage at Victims of Communism a Good Indicator of Their Intent for Living


by David Codrea   

"Evil is." And being a useful idiot enabling it is no excuse.

A photo posted to Twitter by a self-styled "Black Bolshevik" should tell decent and sane Americans all they need to know about the character of the Marxists and their useful idiots trying to tear down the social order under the appropriated term of "anarchist." Participants are circling the base of the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington DC and giving it the middle finger.

The inscriptions circling the pedestal of the statue read:
"To the more than one hundred million victims of communism and to those who love liberty [and] "To the freedom and independence of all captive nations and peoples."
Victims there were. And while the Genocide Chart created by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership does not confine itself to murderous communist regimes, it's undeniable that those, including the Soviet Union, Red China and Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, were where the most monstrous crimes against humanity, with deaths in the tens of millions, were perpetrated.

Unsurprisingly, such totalitarian governments demanded a "monopoly of violence." That they represented themselves as being for "the people" is but another Orwellian lie, as there can be no more egalitarian form of true power sharing than is secured through an armed populace.

It's also unsurprising that the Antifa freaks and fake "anarchists" accuse principled conservatives and libertarians of being "Nazis" and "fascists," while the truth of the matter is, whenever their kind assumes power, individual freedom, including of speech and worship, is  brutally suppressed.  It's also no surprise that they are the ones screaming "Racist!" while flipping off the victims of their ideology, untold millions of whom were non-whites.

"Can there be no peace between our peoples?" is a question I routinely ask on my War on Guns blog, and the answer, of course, if you look at some of the examples at the link, is "No, of course not. They won't allow it." Not with demonic sociopaths who call "whiteness" a "genetic defect" to be "wiped out," or are working to impose some of the other evil lunacy.

You should buy it Don and have it delivered to my farm. I need to cut a driveway up the hill. And if you have about ten to twenty dumploads of gravel that would be handy too.

I'm about to get into some gravel myself...

And an insane price for a slightly newer version of Sarge:

Good work everywhere!

I can't decide if I like the drill press table or the racks for the clamps more at this point. Both are pretty cool!

Burn the piles you already have.  It sounds like you will be dropping a decent amount of cedar trees in the near future.  I would just concentrate on those for your chipping needs.  I think the cedar would work best for trails and animal bedding.  Not sure about the weed control but I imagine it would work well there also.  I'm a little confused on why you would waste time/ energy on chipping just to burn it though?

Not going to chip and burn. That which I chip up will become mulch, animal bedding, weed control and a cover for the trail

I ran those things about a week between changes, but that was about 7 hours a day 5 days a week when overhead brushing or tree removal work.  It depends on how clean the material is. Carry it through the mud don't drag it across the mud and loose dirt and gravel.

That's better than I imagined

I don't think mine will last as long simce I'll be chewing through dry stuff that's been sitting in a pile since the early fall.

Well, like I said (Somewhere...??) I like it!

Don, looks like a nice chipper. Really important to be feeding CLEAN material through it. Those knives need to be sharpened often enough when not being fed rocks and dirt.

I chose these guys partially because of the American steel knives they use that is hardened to a unique level that allows resharpening. You can pull the knives off and send them back to get sharpened for $15 each + shipping

Understand, I have hundreds of hours feeding those things and when the knives get dull, well they don't work so good. I think you should buy an extra set to use while the other set is in for sharpening.

I think I will Bob.

These knives are double edged. So when I have to switch them out to side "B", I throw down the plastic for the second set.

While we're on the subject, how long to knives usually last?

THis machine operates at 1100 RPM and has 4 knives recessed into the flywheel

It has its own 5 gallon hydraulic tank to power the infeed rollers

I believe it uses a White Hydraulics pump which is rebuidable and available about anywhere

This valve controls the speed that material is drawn into the cutter. It is adjustable from "0" FPM upward to 75 FPM

It seems to be well built

Nice acquisition, Big D! Now you need a small forge, then you could make your own nails and hinges. You'd be totally off the grid, and in a position to recycle from whatever scrap you come across on your land. Like trashed mower blades, and other carnage.

Loads of that around!

I like it. You will be able to make some sawdust with that bugger! Very cool. I'm thinking that will pay for itself over time. Not to mention the time hassle of going to the lumberyard....hauling out what you need for the hide site, etc.   

I think with the material I cut for the "Saw-House" and the implement storage shed attached, the wrap around porch, the upper deck and shed dormer(s) that thing will have paid itself several times over.

All I have to buy for the little "barn/saw-house" are the screws, nails, and roof metal, maybe a hinge or two.
Mother nature will provide the rest!

With this setup, I can mill beams up to twenty two feet in length!

I actually am going to push the envelope and mill two, twenty two footers which will serve as the legs that support the second floor deck on the shed

With the thing more or less completed, I threw on the mill head cover while I await flipping the mill head around to test cut a couple logs. Then I'll separate the track into two halves and load all that onto the 18 foot trailer for transport to the farm.

Tonight, the Kentucky is in an area of severe weather, and in the late afternoon, I was thinking this thunderstorm was going to rain on my party, but it passed harmlessly by.

Back to the track, and with the two-by holding the track sections in alignment, it all spaced perfectly at 30.5" outside to outside width.

While I was working on the thing today, the Fedex man arrived with my missing second box of new blades. So that establishes a three day flash to bang time for ordering parts. Pretty good and no one balked anything when I reported the incomplete shipment. That's a mark in the "Go" column for the Woodland Mills folks.

To aid me with the assembly of the last two track sections I cut slots in a 2 X 6 with the required spacing. All I then needed to do would be to lay the two-by onto the new track and bolt things together.

From the attention to detail files, take a look at the cool wheel sweeps that Woodland Mills installs to keep those wheels free of debris:

I removed the blade earlier to facilitate bolting in the latches

Today I completed the sawmill assembly

I could have done this in two days but I took my time and did not work a complete day on it. I took my time examining the various components to get a feel for the machine, but that is all well spent time in my view.

First up was getting the engine fired up. I topped up the empty crankcase with two quarts of John Deere 10W-30

On that note Wil, we are training every week now.Teaching security stuff to church team members. We've seeing injuries from training (including me like every time) but not many confrontations. We were probed by some Musloid activists. Caught the girl who admitted that her boyfriend had told her to go in and start some trouble, then watch for what happened next.

Another time we caught two Muslim women going from door to door. They were praying to whoever they pray to...Claiming authority over the church..! Amazing that this is happening.

If things turn violent or even dangerous, people will get hurt. Christian folks are being pressured and a lot of them do not like it. I see it as a pressurizing power keg at the moment.
