Episode 96 Stove surround
With the base finished, it's time to work on protecting the walls. Even though drywall is fireproof, the studs behind it is not, so the NFPA considers it a flammable wall. I've decided on framing with drywall hat channels and then covering with the same roofing I used in the previous episode.

I took advantage of the fall weather to get some trees planted. It's always a great time of year to be outdoors, even though the past month has been really dry. I've got 2 chestnut trees that were developed here in northern Arkansas, and a peach tree I purchased locally. I also talk about some success in growing both Dunstan chestnuts and sugar maples from seed this year. One of the best things...
Episode 93 Cutting siding from pine logs with my Woodmizer LX 25
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Месяц назад
I spend my time on this episode cutting a couple of pine logs I had saved into siding. I ran out of pine siding so I need to cut more. The two logs won't be enough to finish and I'll have to use white oak to complete my project. Unfortunately, the oak logs I have just died last year, so they'll need some time to dry before I can use them. The remaining siding will likely have to wait until next...

    Love the 'werkin music! I had this same problem. Thought I was doing good with deer, till I wasn't. They got a lot of my tomatoes and I don't have any time whatsoever right now to even put in something like you have here. Then I came across some potential wisdom from a 90+'er. He puts a radio with talk radio or preaching on it in the middle of his garden. Says deer won't come if they hear people talking. I tend to agree, though deer nowadays seem to be pretty darn fearless. The main one I got, she isn't even really that scared of me riding behind her on my ATV! For lack of time, I thought I'd give it a go. I have a solar powered radio my mom gave me last year and have it playing pretty loudly from night until after the sun comes up. We'll see how well it works. If it does seem to work, I may invest in running some power out there and building a small shack for a more permanent solution. Hopefully your fence works out for you!

    I am sorry, but the pictures are not good enough for me to identify the species. Color, bark , and grain are the 3 things which I rely on and there's just not enough close ups to let me see any of those 3 characteristics well. I am from SW MO and am still finding that there are trees in not so distant places which we don't have here. Therefore, my experience is limited to trees common to where I live. Cottonwood and black locust are a couple of examples. Rare in my immediate area yet common within a 60 minute drive. As for the usefulness of hackbery, I love it. Was able to get my hands on a log that had splated and have some beautiful lumber from it. It was heavy even after air drying for a time, but came out of the kiln very light in weight. Very wide boards stayed good and flat. Have used it so far in chess boards with walnut as the contrasting color and honey locust as the frame around the outside. Is a beautiful and popular combination. Planning a hall table with much of what I have left.

    Just out of curiosity did you turn it that direction so sawdust would be going outside? I just sold my lx25 and went to a lt15 wide going to build a trailer for it . I had some trouble with mine the head dropping and etc. and some trees to large for it. Have you seen woodland mills blade setter ? They look do a good job and very affordable. Great videos and beautiful place there.

      Mine has not been without problems including the one you described. I also had some problems with the blade trying to climb, especially after hitting a knot. A lot was taken care of when I started sharpening and setting my blades myself. You'd think Woodmizer would have the research to sell their blades optimized for performance, but I was able to get better results by increasing the set a little. Yes, I did turn the mill so removal of sawdust was easier. I found that to be a real pain always cleaning up by hand in close quarters. Now, I'll just use my tractor to get rid of it.

      Disassembling and cleaning the heifght adjustment head took care of the head dropping problem.

    It sure will make it nicer to work in there once it starts getting really cold. I'll bet you are glad to have that done.
