My wife decided she would like a benck made from an oak log I have in the bush.Jobs like this seem to earn mega brownie points towards my yearly moose hunt in Northern Ontario so I agreed quickly.After doing a little research I came across a de-barker from nova-jack that mounts on the tip of a chainsaw bar.Does anyone have any experiance with this type of tool. Thanks DonT

This is the only debarker I am aquainted with.

Probably more money then what a bench would warrant.

Thanks Jeff,a little bigger than the one I was looking at from Nova-jack.The one i saw almost looks like a small planer.Your machine might work very well on my mother in-law however. DonT

Nah, most Mother in lawsare alredy thin skinned. I recommend straight to the chipper.

Don,
I`ve seen the video.
It would work well on small projects.

The Log Wizard was the tool I saw demonstrated.

I have a log wizard, the previous owner of my mill bought it. I mounted it onto an old saw bar and have used it, it does work. My problem is I put it on my old stihl 045, way too heavy to add that weight on the bar tip, but it does work just fine.

If you wait a few weeks, the bark may just fall loose.

there's always the armstrong method. Shaves and slicks like a cabin log. Whatever you decide, be sure to work on it where she can see how much work and effort you put into the project. Need pictures too.

Thanks for the advice guys,the log wizzard looks like what I am looking for.I checked out there dealers and there is no dealer within 75 km.Any ideas about ordering one.I have convinced my wife that this would be a must have tool to complete her bench,therefore it would be a sanctioned toy purchase.

I've seen them in some catalogs and in trade magazines. I know Wood-Mizer sells them because I bought one new back in 94 when I got our first mill. Never used it - still in box, if I can find it. Let's make a deal?

Tom,
You're seven posts behind the rest of us, would you like us to wait while you catch up?

Tom · « **Reply #12 on:** April 30, 2002, 06:04:37 pm »

Nah, y'all go on, I'll be along later.

If it's any consolation ... you're still ahead of Jeff.

Hey Bibbyman,I like the idea of a trade how about my mother-in law for your log wizzard.( I am willing to pay the shipping on my mother in-law if I can find an envelope big enough) Let me know. DonT

Jeff · « **Reply #17 on:** May 01, 2002, 02:59:55 pm »

Maybe I should get the auction software going.

I was looking at that contraption, and think it would be useful in Stacy and my rustic furniture venture.

Bibbyman · « **Reply #18 on:** May 01, 2002, 05:48:29 pm »

Sorry DonT, can’t trade for your mother-in-law. I was lucky enough to have the greatest mother-in-law a man could ever expect to have.

Here is a picture taken on Christmas day a few years back. That’s Mary on the upper left, younger sisters Wendy and Liz below her. Niece Jennifer in lower center and older sister Pam and mother of Jennifer on right. (Sorry, they are all married.) Mary’s mom Dot is seated in the background. She passed away within a week of when this picture was taken.
