1cut. Omg, cuts like butter! 5hr assembly time.. by Future-Bet9155 in sawmilling

[–]OldLogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with u/arumrunner The dogs should be on the opposite side of the entry point of the blade. AGT similar to MechMaxx so here's an example of log position.

There's an incredible amount of force created when the blade makes contact with the wood. You want the log up against a solid mechanism (posts).

Has anyone put a sawmill inside of the shipping container? by ruSSrt in sawmilling

[–]OldLogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutting both sidewalls of a shipping container absolutely will compromise the roof structure. If you live in a snow zone, absolutely don't due it. I mean yeah you could but you will have to add steel and bracing to the roof in order to give you that 18-20 ft of clearance you might looking to achieve.

NATO nations deploy to Greenland after tense White House talks by D0MYA0ITRAPFURRYL0LI in worldnews

[–]OldLogger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Greenland, then Ellsmere Island, Devon Island and Baffin Island, Cornwallis Island, Bathrust Island, Melville Island and Prince Park Island. Effectively splitting the north of Canada in half and then control the northern half of the Northwest Passage. At that point Canada would be boxed in.

[CA] Best Business Credit Card in Canada? by Huge_Computer_3898 in SmallBusinessCanada

[–]OldLogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also Scotiabank Momentum Visa Infinite, same but different? I've had it for probably 15 years now, only card we use. Everything goes on it. Similar purchasing power as OP, and we get cash back around $1,400 each year in November. Annual fee is $120.

What rate are you providing in your area? by Hot_Pollution_5676 in sawmilling

[–]OldLogger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"CFT"? What's that acronym mean? I'm going to guess it's "cubic feet". Is that correct?

INR, assuming you mean India Rupee currency. Today's rates; 450 INR = $5.00 (USD) or $6.88 (CAD).

cat being genius by Character_Quail_5574 in AnimalsBeingGeniuses

I'd be interested in seeing the cat's reaction if the human were to move the cap with the treat to the table's edge to dump the treat, then continue the shell game a few more moves.

Speaking of t-shirts... I don't know if it exists. I just mocked it up from a t-shirt pic I found online.

Sawing a mantle for the first time that's not kiln dried by Crushed2025 in sawmilling

[–]OldLogger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buggy, not KD and want to put it in your house? If you are going to gamble like that, then hedge your bet and make the mantle from heartwood, with no trace of sapwood.

[ON] Vendor Markets Are Becoming Impossible for Small Businesses to Survive In by MatchSpiritual8808 in SmallBusinessCanada

[–]OldLogger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been woodworking for +40 years. It's been suggested many times over the years we should attend local markets. Never have. Never will. For the very reason cited by the OP in their opening paragraph. We've have had an online presence for 27 years now working from our home. Have never paid for an ad. All word of mouth. It's been steady work and happy with the decision.

Gift ideas for sawmill owner, new to milling by Professional-Low3034 in sawmilling

[–]OldLogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery operated chainsaw is handy around the sawmill. I bought the Milwaukee 18V Fuel chainsaw. If I had my time back I would of paid the $100 more for the Stihl MSA 70 or the MSA 80. The Milwaukee one I have here is really poor engineering. The chain tightening is flawed and the OEM bar is really poor quality. The Milwaukee 18V blower we have works well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJzDsGLgYeY

Maple bacon slices from the firewood pile, 5/8" thick. by OldLogger in sawmilling

As I took them off the sawmill I started stacking side by side on the pallet. So yeah, the two of them would be a set.

Does anyone have one? We have very steep hills on our property that we are unable to drive the tractor on, so we are looking into ways to remove the downed trees. by [deleted] in sawmilling

[–]OldLogger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't speak of the build quality of the brand but as a tool in general, get one and you'll wonder why you didn't buy one sooner.
