I agree 100% you can't have both.

I'm still just 29 but there are days.. weeks even that I feel like I'm pushing 70. lol

LOL I've been told something similar to that several times. I have toned it down a bit since I was first put in charge.

Thanks. Its definitely a lifestyle that has ups and downs to it as many other professions do as well. The old guys always told me once you get sawdust in your blood it doesn't come out!

I agree about the production rates. The overhead an expenses are insane, almost to the point where the profession is not enjoyable due to the fact that its go go go all the time. But on good flat ground with good timber the crews can make mega bucks. Our logging crew is constantly struggling. We...

That sounds like a cool contraption jomo! I've heard of floating mills but nothing like that.

Unfortunately no. The circle saw we run usually doesn't get hurt to bad with a simple nail or fence. May break a few teeth off. A cotton picker spindle or deer stand spikes usually does the damage.

I agree the word sawmill and safe dont go well together lol. I do think the edger is probably the most dangerous. It has hurt the most people anyway. Its kinda like an 80hp table saw.

Thanks guys! Im going to try to find some old pics of the equipment we had taken out back in 08. We used to run an 8Ft Albany bandmill, and a Monster Klameth( that may not be how it is spelled) carriage that we got used from a large mill in Portland Oregon. Now we run the Hurdle circle mill that...

Lol it will be interesting Cory. Still haven't completely figured that one out yet!

Got a few pics of the mil finally. Its been a crazy past week or two. Being short handed and having a state boiler inspection hasn't been fun.

I will check that out thanks!

yea that was the next thing i was gonna try

LOL I am stupid thing wont link up with my laptop. Would love to just smash this stupid thing!

Got a few pics up on my profile. There from my old I phone about a year ago. Cant seem to get this windows phone I have now to act right. When I get it figured out Ill get some up of the mill and logging crew.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I will get some pics up as soon as I can. And yes our operation is 100mph all the time and in all directions. Seems like it is anyway. I think the best part about it is the stories I get to hear from from a few of the older guys that were there when the...

haha I suppose it is butch.. thanks again guys! Im going to find the bed its way past my bedtime.

Thanks Guys, Im 29, well will be in a few hours. Aspirations wise... everything.! Currently work wont let me hunt up a part time job with a tree service. So even tho it isn't the greatest of ideas im having to learn on my own. One day hopefully sooner than later I would like to transition into...
