Kirk and Buzz, it was shear pleasure spending the evening with you guys. Thanks for the compliments.

DanG, just what kind of juniper was that? That was sure not ERC type juniper.

I've had road trips before and they are some fantastic times.

Jeff, have you ever thought of getting a bunch of forum members together for a long bus tour?(I know, it would be like herding cats) Visit some mills, maybe some big sawmills, logging operations, I know I like showing off our little operation.

Kirk and Buzz, had a blast with you guys at the shop doing brakes, at the house for dinner and at the mill sawing SYP for about 5 hours. We will get back together when you guys come back down to go GATOR hunting!!!

Cedarman, I am assuming you remember some months back when you were wondering about some strange looking cedar logs you ocassionally get. I promised to ship and example of this stuff, but never got around to it, so I sent it by Kirk.

I'm not at all sure exactly what it is, but it could be Atlantic White Cedar, (chamaecyparis thyoides) which is supposedly the only cedar native to Fla besides ERC. The trees look like a big tall flagpole with an ERC perched on top. The locals refer to that example as "white juniper" but they also speak of "red juniper", of which I haven't had any.

Man, you guys seemed to have had a good trip. I have really enjoyed this thread. I am really interested in that mill with the belt problem. What is that? I love machines and designing them.

DanG · « **Reply #30 on:** January 15, 2006, 10:27:45 pm »

I guess I neglected to tell ya'll what happened to cause my belt problem. The cable that pulls up the board return bar broke and wrapped itself around the 6-gang pulley that run's the edger blades. This dislodged one of the belts and it tried to displace its neighbor belt, which in turn interfered with the next one, etc. I ended up with the # 4 belt in the #5 slot, upside down, and the #5 belt was on top of the #6 belt, with about 3 twists in it, so there was a lot of tension on it. I could see how it could be straightened out, but even though I have a quite respectable wingspan, I couldn't work both ends at the same time. Once they got here, Buzz rotated the shaft, Kirk pried on one end, and I on the other, and we had it straightened out in short order.

Indeed, a good sized octopus could have done it by himself, and still scratched his butt and his head at the same time.

All I can tell you is that them GRITZ fellas preach with an evangelistic zeal, on the curative properties, the healing properties and the culinary delight of those detestible pieces of sand and sawdust served with butter....even Mr Billy started in on a rant of grits powers and pleasures.............

You say that and you were only 40 miles from my house and you didn't stop in for a spell.
