September Salmon on Tillamook Bay in Our Jeff Spira "Tillamook" Dory
We get too busy with other things to go fishing as often as we'd like, but on this sunny September day, we put all else aside and made the 30-mile drive to Garabaldi on Tillamook Bay.
Serious salmon fishers go out early. I guess we're not serious, because we don't get going until the day begins to warm. But we have fun, and we occasionally catch fish. Well, maybe not 'we'.

You Just THINK You Want Me To Evaluate Your Shoes!
Просмотров 6203 месяца назад
I was surprised when FitVille Shoes asked me to try out two pair of their shoes and tell you what I think of them. I'd get the shoes free and offer you a discount code that would net me a small piece of the action. I warned FitVille that I dislike almost all shoes because they don't fit normal feet. FitVille prides itself on comfort. I thought it would be a welcome change of pace from my usual ...

A Repair and Resawing Battens on My Woodland Mills Sawmill
Просмотров 7946 месяцев назад
All siding boards on my dirt floor shop are up and waiting for battens to cover the gaps. Resawing 2x8s would be quick and easy, but first I made a repair to one of my sawmill modifications. When you've seen one batten nailed on, you've seen 'em all. I sped that part up 20X. I guess that's the same effect as time lapse. I said I'd give you the link to the video in which my sawmill's dust shield...
More Resawing Siding and a Bird's Nest in my Tool Belt

I have lots of nominal 2x boards but very few thinner boards suitable for board-and-batten siding.

Should a Man In His 80s Be Up On a Ladder With a Chainsaw?

Old age slows all of us. Thirty years ago, I routinely went up a ladder with my arms full of building materials as though it were a stairway. I can't do that anymore.

    I wouldn't run that standing in front of it. Easier to see but ive seen enough blades come thru the metal housing to know if that happens, you are in direct line of fire. I used to walk right beside the blade guard until a blade came thru about 18" and almost got my leg. I also had a shaking problem but it was due to some bolts that worked lose and when a wind storm hit, knocked the head off the tracks and misaligned everything. Had to take mill off the tracks and reset to get rid of it.

      First time we put out crab pots, one was gone when we got in from fishing. We noticed while heading out that there were two other pots near our two. When we came back, the only on left was one of ours, clearly marked with our ID. About fifty yards off was a lone pot, no ID. I figure that one either got dragged off or otherwise displaced. I figure the owner came back, saw three, and took two. I don't put down crab pots in Tillamook Bay anymore unless I can stick around and watch them.

    This was and is my top contender choice so thank you so much for your review. I am working on a Beaver/Rockwell at the moment so definitely identify with your first part of the video haha I worry that this model is not enough of a size increase but only experience on one of the big lathes would tell. My biggest issue on this lathe is there appears to be no tailstock support when turning on the outboard. right? When turning the biggest pieces you'd want the safety/support and not have it. Seems odd. Last note I see on LeeValley they showed current model shows a forward/reverse switch where you can tell which position it is in. I wonder what other fixes they have had :)
