    Thank you for explaining why you are cutting that the way you are. I will probably never in my life run a sawmill, but I sure do like to know the "why" of things.

    I really like the new Sawmill set up. It seems to be more safe and less chance for injury. since you seem to be working alone most of the time. Less actually touching the logs going onto the table is the way to go. Then using hydraulics to manipulate the log on the table lessens the chance of a pinch injury. So, well done.

    Why should the cat work when she has you to figure things out for her?
    I found that very interesting, Nathan, learning how you work things out so you get the maximum and most useful yield. Very clever stuff, especially the information about the way the adjacent planes dry and how to compensate for the natural forces that cause twisting etc. I'm going to look at my shelves in a whole new way!

  • @rolliekelly6783

    If you bored a hole the length of the pith board and broached some shallow grooves inside, as it dried it would twist itself into the world's only wooden rifle barrel.

    When you cut up the wedge after taking off the 2 5/4 boards ... Wouldn't the larger wedge shape at the end have a reasonable chunk of rift sawn ( 45 degree grain) suitable for mallet handles and legs and other such things where you see the grain from all 4 sides?
    Just curious

    Can you cut the beech to make rift sawn pieces. They are very useful for table legs. Would the rift sawn lumber be stable enough?

  • @phil.paulastocks2276
    @phil.paulastocks2276 5 років тому +1

    If the intention was to use the beech slabs for a table top, why not a 4x4 or 5x5 out of that small 1/4 section for leg material?
    Would take longer to dry, but would save matching grain and laminating thinner pieces together.
    The tangential rays would have at least partially shown on two sides of the leg material.

    Hey Nathan, on that last piece you were milling... when you cut out the heart wood, why didnt you cut the out the bark, squaring it up... then drop down and remove the pith? Just seemed odd to have left the bark on to me. Does the bark help prevent twist or cupping as it dries or something?
    Thanks for sharing & showing the hands on of quarter sawing. I only knew theory from reading about it. Nice of you to connect the dots. Tyvm again.
