    Sawmill secondary processing firewood and kindling

    April 29, 2019 /

    I mean really, how much work can it be making firewood kindling? Grab a few boards and an axe, chop it up and done. Well that’s the condensed summary version.

    Sharpening Shed – the foundation

    April 15, 2019 /

    Time to make some more covered storage. There never seems to be enough space. The woodworking shop is becoming a bit too close for comfort for some of the work to be performed. It plan is to recycle some wharf timbers and then to mill some logs to put up the buildling.

    Maxing out the saw mill.

    This was going to be a workout for sure. This pine log has a width that nearly is the maximum cut that the mill can make.

    Shiver me timbers

    Shiver me timbers. It was going snow well. I won’t pine about it. I’ll just lumber on.

    Spring saw milling

    April 3, 2019 /

    We had a fairly mild winter so far as snow depth is concerned. Nowhere near the brutal amount that northern New Brunswick got. The lack of snow though has meant that with the cold air, the frost has gone deep into the ground. Which is ok if you are walking and driving machines over the ground but eventually the frost has to leave and it ill make for a soppy, wet mess to deal with. This year’s to do list will involve a lot of water course management.

    Call of Duty

    March 19, 2019 /

    These hemlock part oval shaped boards were the scrap pieces from a log I cut in early 2018 to get some oval shaped plaques. I am not one to throw anything away 🙂 I set them aside, figuring at some point an idea will come along to make use of them. I figure if the Earth can invest +100 years to grow the tree, I can at least keep the pieces around for a little while longer to see what else might be possible.
