I think I just woke up to the wood workers dream of a life. Being a third
shifter I woke up to the sound of chain saws and chippers going through my head. When I lookrd uot my window I saw the local street department cutting down trees, so I got dressed, went out and taled to the first person I saw that looked like he was in charge, ( the one holding the coffee cup and scratching his ass) I asked him what where they going to do with the wood, he replied by saying if you want it take it, cause we have to cut all the trees down on this side of the road all the way to the end. I said ,"all" you got it all 165 trees, "we got to widen the street, we'll be cuttin' trees til November. So now I've got oak,maple, apple ,and walnut to pick from. |

Well apparently this is just a gloat, I think he's keeping all the free wood
for himself. Todd L---doubt I'll get any now "DAN & CINDY" wrote in message ... I think I just woke up to the wood workers dream of a life.

They're cutting down 165 trees, and widening the street, and you didn't know
about it until the chains saws came out? What city doesn't notify residents of a planned project like that? "DAN & CINDY" wrote in message ...

Plant 'em! My favorite example of a "friend of the earth" is a man who
farmed and logged all his life (Boo, Hiss), but was still planting apple trees into his eighties. Do a good thing and help someone out anyway. wrote in message ...

Please tell me you are in northern michigan. Or not, if not. Wes What did you use for plans for your band mill? I am thinking about building one. I have an extra 10hp vert. engine and some of the steel, in the shop. A lot of trees coming down around here and being tossed. Looks like a score for a guy with a way to slice it. Need good plans. Digger Well, I ordered some parts from www.linnlumber.com and he sent an assembly video for the kit he sells. From the video, uncle and I worked backwards.
