Got to be careful not to work too hard. I'm getting paid by the hour. The wood stays with the owner.
dang dyslexic eyes!!! pens man!not been!!
Had a big day planned for the shop today after taking my son to the trampoline park for his birthday yesterday, but... some middle aged yahoo tried to do a backflip at the party and nearly snapped his spine in two! Layed around sucking down ibuprofen all day trying to get geared up for work tomorrow. Eighteen year old brain in a forty five year old body... bad combo!
Glad you are ok, stoopid...
I can tell you it doesn't get any better about 20 years down the road.
I thought you were smarter than that Doc! Hope you feel better soon! Tony
I have but one question Doc... Before you attempted that, did you by chance say, "Hold my beer! Y'all watch this!!"
I haven’t been able to do anything in the shop but scored this at the Tampa woodworking show.
Not a damn thing. I'm in Chicago for training this week - no shop time at all until the weekend.
So let me start this by saying- "16 inches at the base my A$$" Never trust people that aren't sawyers. 
The largest tie measured almost 22, 8' 9" long, I ran a couple of log weight calculators and they all put it a hair over 1100 pounds. (Walnut)
Largest log I've ever loaded on my mill and was cutting right up to the guides. I used the slope of the property and a bunch of 2x4 and 2x12's as a ramp to be able to load them on the mill without heavy equipment or a drunken fraternity. I am beat. Got all his logs cut into 1.75 inch slabs and helped him stack and sticker them until he figures out where he's taking them to have dried.

Did you get away with any of it? Tony
Frankly, I don't need/want more walnut right now. I have about 300 BF of 8/4 drying, a pile of crotches for turning and about 1000 walnut pen blanks. I just wanted to get paid.
If you want to haul some my way I'll trade you for some Skeet.
Hopefully you know a good doctor....
Are there any in Oklahoma?
This evening I loaded up all four chambers. One with clear resin, three with dyed resin. Red (w/ a touch of orange), Purple, and Teal.
@Don Ratcliff - all of your blanks are under vacuum within these chambers. Yup, they'll all be done soon!
