    Maxing out the saw mill.

    April 11, 2019 /

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

    Making the most of what comes along

    March 1, 2019 /

    A neighbour is clearing a recently acquired lake side lot. These logs were all destined for the burn pile. I could not let that happen 🙂  So in a trade for helping clean up the brush, I got to take these logs to the work yard. They are 8 and 10ft lengths. Most likely will all be made into 2×4’s.

    Milling Sticks for the Kiln Lady

    August 13, 2018 /

    We were contacted by a lady, Teresa, who lives not far from us, for 1 x 1 inch or smaller sticks of wood. She also specified they be no longer than 22 inches. She has an outdoor pottery kiln and those are her requirements. She asked for us to cut up about a cord of wood to start. People…That’s a lot of milling!!

    New Floorboards for an Old Trailer

    July 18, 2018 /

    We have had this trailer for nearly 12 years. It is well used for hauling mowers in the summer and the quad with plow in the winter. It has even carried logs. While the metal body is hard looking, it is what it is. Can’t do much about that now. We have known for a while that the floor boards needed to be replaced. One of those jobs you keep putting off for later. Well, we don’t have much choice now. Jim was stepping up onto the deck of the trailer to get on the ride-on mower and he put his foot right through the floor. Ouch.

    Air Dried Sugar Maple

    July 16, 2018 /

    We’ve had a couple of sugar maple logs air drying outdoors for 2 years now. Decided it was time we move them into dry storage. They were weighed down and covered with a sheet of steel roofing to keep the rain and snow off them.

    Back to the Sawmill

    July 9, 2018 /

    Why does everything take so long to do?  Or is that just us? The week long heat wave finally ended and with logs piling up waiting to be sawed, we headed out to try and make a small dent. First things first, we had to build another pallet. We used tamarack lumber for the job and to get that lumber, we had to saw tamarack logs on the mill. That meant half the morning was gone just to make the pallets, never mind the pile of logs we are trying to get sawed. But, first up was changing the blade on the sawmill.
