Don't worry Wilbur, I'm just waiting for "Mr Piluuut" to get the hair brained idea of using the new chipper as a cement mixer. 
Can it mix concrete too? With different knives installed???

I am not sure you want to set that mill on green timbers. If the mill has to stay level, how do you plan on keeping the timbers staying straight while they are drying out? Also, ran into a guy while up hunting, he was running a mill on his place with many piles of logs sitting around. All the log ends were painted with lots of different colors. I had to ask, his comment was, paint the ends up good and it cuts down on the cracking while they are drying out, paint is paint color doesn't matter.
The mill tracks are set on adjustable height feet. Take a look back in the assembly thread. So plan is to dig the holes, place in cedar posts on top of concrete, and surrounded by concrete and let that all set up. Come back with a laser or water level and saw off the timbers to the uniform height. Bolt a single 6 X 6 X 20 ontol each run and finally set the mill on that. I'll do final leveling of mill tracks with the laser level and start sawing up my little slice of the planet

This may look like a three vehicle pileup, but in reality it is just aircraft carrier style parking mangement
Does the HH6 GJ have to park out on the street now? That is equipment creep.
Holy crap...That's a lot of Dottin! Secondly, should-ah-bin first, welcome to red neck numba deux! (Should-ah-bin...That could be some Haji's real name...;-) Mohammad should-ah-bin...) Lastly, yea, there are some serious over-crowdin' like conditions in the GJ garage. But to the Mrs, it doesn't matter. She'd just push whatever it is out of the way...Jeep bumpers are meant for pushing things, right! Well guess this thread is shot all to he!!, guess I'll get started on something else...let you gossipers hack away at any credibility remaining here...

The fluid filled tires are a price that is definitely worth the money

It's still proving itself a more capable machine. The wood chipper pallet weighed over 1100 lbs. Tractor grunted, but lifted it. And that was with those hefty pallet forks

And the base of the feed chute. The bigger part of it is unassembled and sitting in the front of the crate.
Looks good so far. As heavy as it is, I sure hope my little tractor will pull that monstrosity!

It showed up today!
Arrived in the middle of a rain storm.
I used the new Deere 2720 tractor to pull it out of the truck and move it to the garage where it will be assembled and fitted to the tractor, then taken to das farm.
It comes in an angle iron crate and it is HEAVY!

I'm a bit concerned about Putin's assertion to consider another of our attacks as an attack on russia and to be prepared to retaliate with tactical nukes.
If he distributes those to the artillery commanders, that would be a game changer. No telling where that might end...
Don't stop prepping!

Don I'm jelly. Very nice. I think you had asked a question about concrete tube forms some where. I apologize for failing to respond. Would you repeat the question ?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think I figured it out... I was inquiring about how much concrete per sonotube. I rethought my project. About how I want to erect this building at the lowest possible cost. I was going to bore 8 holes with 8" sonotubes inserted and filled with quickcrete, for the stanchions for the sawmill mount. But now I think I'll bore the holes, insert Cedar logs, backfill with quickcrete and call it a day. Then level and cut off the log bases and mount a 6X6X20 onto the poles and bolt the saw to that. So I'm good...

Thanks Don. That doesn't make it any less spectacularly stupid, but thanks. :-)
It use to happen all the time to the bosses kids on the farm. That was with a zero-turn though. Those don't always hold side hills the best.
Yea, same-same here. Almost always a zero turn...But not always Neighbors across the street with the Tennessee Walkers have this beautiful pond ringed with rock. Fairly steep all around. They were cutting with their two zero turns one day, and I knew they would get into trouble near the pond, so I fired up the J Deere and went to work down there in 4WD. As luck would have it, I must have hit something, but I developed a flat tire on a steep section that caused me to slide. Only the rocks prevented me from pond entry. I drove over in my chevy and winched the thing out before it entered the water...I was lucky!

That is just amazing! Stain that a bit darker would make a great bar top in a log cabin.
So is the carnage report up to two mishaps? A bolt and now the cut scale? Are we counting these?

I think I'll make some of this available for folks on this site. I'd like to sow into your lives. I'd like to see that bar top in your house, or some of that wood lining a closet or yours JR. In the past our homes, well some of them would have cedar lined closets. The scent of the wood which is pretty heavy is repulsive to bugs. It's like getting a permanent termite barrier.
As for carnage...CAREP...I guess it is carnage, although pretty light...Caused by the tractor (Not me!) But I don't really want to start off with a mishap, would rather start with a beautiful pile of freshly cut boards and timbers...
Beautiful pile, check! Being minimal carnage not worth keeping track of, swept under the rug....check!
Don't you have walnut at the farm too? Maybe in the old barn she'd building? That too would make some great interior additions.
How much time did you have in cutting that 5x5 to size?

Well, I'm good with it.
Much better to kill ISIS murders in Syria, Iraq, Turkey, anyplace other than Detroit, Chicago, Houston, or anywhere inside the US.
I mean we are going to have to kill them, I think negotiations went right out the window some time ago. They ARE coming for us, so why not now?
these people are born to die for their beliefs. to them it's a promotion, and they wont stop.
not a single politician or military tactician understands this.
you're up against an ideology that's hardcore. they can stomach a fight because the reward to them is dying for their beliefs.
stomaching a fight it not something the west has been able to go for 70 years.
There are a significant number of factors weighing in on these so called warriors. IMHO, they are warriors only in the sense that they come to fight. 99% of the time they serve as moving targets against a trained Army such as ours This fanatical ideology steals from free thinking. It is that free thinking along with strong morals, good equipment, intelligence and patriotism that makes our guys so good. Think of them as an angry girl. She's pretty effective against another girl, however let her swing on a 50 year old biker, and he will break her arm and silence her in two seconds...Just not a fair fight. Practically the same with these cowards with beards. Another factor, associated with this radicalism is with respect to the stifled thinking they again default to a script..."Walk up to the gate and press the button." That means the thinking is done by the handler. So they are only as good as his plan. And his plan is only one deep. Not so with US soldiers. Brief a Marine infantry squad, then take the sergeant out of the mix, and the ranking corporal will step up, and you'll likely see the mission completed in spite of the loss. A huge factor working against Muslims is in their breeding. They ain't like western people. thousands of years of marrying your first cousin has made a noticeable weakness in them. We (US Soldiers) noticed back in desert storm that they can't see at night...Like CAN'T SEE!) That person is going to have to deal with troops that live to fight with NVG's. We dominate the night, always have. They don't seem to have stamina and are maybe 60% of our physical strength. Couple that with their smaller body size and they do not want to get in a scrap with some of our infantry boys. A dog shaking a rag doll comes to mind! You take away this veil of PC which serves to protect them as we apologize for offending them and let us go after them and leave their carved up bodies laying about with our guys pissing on their corpses and I think they are going to start to swallow hard and be thinking: Oops, what did we do...Those guys look pretty mean... You haven't seen what we are capable of, and under the muslim president with the evil america hating wife, neither have these future targets. We are going to kill them by the metric ton!

Depending on the material etc.. I have sometimes used a layer of grease or Vaseline/ petroleum jelly. Same concept but might be easier clean-up. It doesn't work well in all application but on some jobs works great.
I painted a Chinook one weekend where the crew chief masked off the windows with grease

It's not as high quality as some of the custom welding tables on here but it gets the job done. At one point in its life it had a nice oak veneer top. That was long ago charred off. You just got to make sure you lock the legs out square before you drop to much weight on it.
Without some good cardboard for the welding surface, how are you ever gonna keep things straight? ;-)

So, I tried to calculate what that cost me. Without amortizing the cost of the mill, and considering fuel useage, blade sharpening, chain saw fuel/oil/sharpening and cost of soap I add to the water, I am coming up with a cost of thirty cents to around a dollar. The tree was free, and I have not considered if there is any money to be made from the wood chips from the branches or the sawdust from the cut.
Putting up this next building is not going to be all that costly.

18293
« on: April 10, 2017, 10:53:51 PM »
I started the process of rotating the "Cant" to establish more and more flat sides
18294
« on: April 10, 2017, 10:52:43 PM »
On a log this size the cutting is absolutely effortless. I started with maybe a 2" deep cut and went through that log like a hot knife through butter.
Then from there I took a second pass to get a clear span wise flat area
18295
« on: April 10, 2017, 10:50:50 PM »
But with the correct orientation, I loaded one of those eight foot cedar logs onto the saw, and dogged it for cutting
18296
« on: April 10, 2017, 10:49:33 PM »
Unfortunately I got into the cut scale a bit, tearing the tape and breaking the witness line
18297

With the better loader available to me, I snatched the saw head off the rails and turned it around.

I sprayed those wheels in 50 F low humidity weather and got that awful result.
Secondly I would note that the top coat is designed to be sprayed over top the Rust Sealer product. The instructions said to top coat betwee 3-8 hours after spraying the rust seal. I waited 3 1/2 hours when I top coated.
I also noted that sometimes the topcoat will react with the epoxy base coat and wrinkle up.
I can't say I like anything about these products. Seems like the product doesn't act anything like the advertising states
It won't run...But it definitely does
Uniform color...But the metallic pigment migrates while drying
Top coat made to work with the rust seal...Yea, if you are looking for a wrinkle paint finish
The only things I will say is that it is definitely hard! And the paint by itself seems to spray well, but that's as far as I go. I don't like it
But after a couple days of painting, sanding repainting, stripping and repainting a third time, Here's the results. I just hope it holds up...that was a bunch of work right there
