There's trees that tall here...it sure would be a long drive though. Theres several ranches here with plenty of room to work, and not trucking that log down the road would simplify things. Hayfork was a logging town but they left a couple standing!

OK, How do I get my Lucas involved? I feel left out. I got 40+ feet of rails.

I think peterson, Lucas, and a manual bandmill could all do this. But putting them together would be the trick, so why not three projects, 1 for each? Kind of a long log shooyout! But then we'd need three logs... Be a fun get together wherever it happens. Take lot's of pictures and compare what happens.

Nope, only need one log.

One of the swingers takes the first long board.
Next swinger takes the second.
Then the manual band takes the third.
I have the bandmill last as the "log" would weigh less then.
Now if you were actually trying to get in "The Book", the whole thing would have to be done as "they" see fit and that will probly be a log for each mill.

Well, if ya look back, I did some "suggesting".

Is the ocean floor level?
We may have to bring Furby up to the top for this project.

Furby · « **Reply #71 on:** January 03, 2008, 08:03:11 pm »

Actually, you don't need any track with mine if you have a nice smooth concrete pad, it'll roll right along.
Just need to use a little fill in the expansion joints or find a fresh stretch of asphalt road and that's all we need.

I was wondering about tying two trailers together as well until I remembered corners!

We'll just tie it the the roof of three cars and have a lazy susan under it.

Burlkraft · « **Reply #72 on:** January 03, 2008, 08:04:31 pm »

We could just ship it UPS

Furby · « **Reply #73 on:** January 03, 2008, 08:06:54 pm »

I can fit inside the frame too, so I won't have to walk all that way!

Brdmkr, I'm in too then. It would almost be too easy with a few Lucas guys, we have a simple way of setting up and adjusting for taper right where the tree falls. I think we need to go for 200'.

Definately not an impossible task out here.

I'll have to get sponsors to get me out there, but I'd like to give it a try!

You can walk with me, I'll wait for you to catch up.

Burlkraft · « **Reply #77 on:** January 03, 2008, 11:30:56 pm »

Don't worry Furb, If I saw ya along the road I'd pick ya up

farmerdoug · « **Reply #78 on:** January 03, 2008, 11:39:46 pm »

The operative words are "If I saw you".
