Sawing for Fellow FF Friends

[Magicman]

Dodgy Loner brought some beams by this afternoon to be resawed into lumber.  He assured me that he had gotten the nails out, so this would be a fun project.


 
The beams were all tight grained heart Pine, and we also split a small Basswood.


 
The majority was sawed 4X4 with a couple of 8X4, plus one nail and two staples.   ;D

1 nail and 2 staples are well worth a day with another member.

Nothing like having good connections,

So Dodgy goes into the regular customer base when he says I got all of the metal out. :D Just picking Dodgy but you said it. ;D

[Shotgun]

Apparently Dodgy didn't mention anything about getting all the staples out. Most anybody could miss a nail.   ;)

Dodgy,

Did you haul that all the way back from Haiti  ???.

[Magicman]

I think that it came off of the Ark.   ;D

Hey now, my exact words were something along the lines of "You'll never get all the nails out, but I did the best I could". Magicman is putting words in my mouth :D I know better than to promise that all the nails are out ;)

Did you haul that all the way back from Haiti  ???.

Nope, but I did see some acacia that I wished I could have brought back from Haiti! I saw a house being bulldozed a few miles from here, and they offered me whatever I wanted before they burned it. I little winching and I had some very nice, very tight-grained heart pine beams. Most of the lumber we got was perfectly quartersawn. It is bee-you-tee-full 8)

Thanks again for working me in on short notice Lynn! I got the boards stickered last night and they should be ready to go within a month!

Whatcha gonna do with them?

[Magicman]

He put the nail and staples in his pocket.  Maybe he's gonna make a watch fob.   ;D

[WDH]

 :D :D :D

You mean there's another step after sawing them into lumber? Hmmm...I'm not sure about this...Let me reference my handy guide to sawmilling:

Step 1: Collect wood
Step 2: Saw it into lumber
Step 3: Do something with the lumber

Drat! It appears you're right. I always forget Step 3!

[Mooseherder]

Dry it according to the strict rule book first. ;D

[WDH]

Step 3A.  Hoard the lumber.

Step 3 only comes after an interminable time after step 3A  :D.

[Magicman]

Well at least you could sell the watch fob at a flea market.   ;D
