Cutting Lumber

whiskers_ump · #1 (**permalink**) Thu Jan 19, 2006, 05:22pm

Since it came up in another post I will mention how things
went today.

I cut 17 1" X 20" X 10' boards from one butt cut. Long leaf
pine that my son had blown down in his yard. Good start for
the siding on my house. 14 1" X 12 1/2" X 10' boards from another
tree that was donated.

Things going well. Even going to call ball this weekend.

Just remember it's hard to work an indicator with out a thumb!

but....

The looks I get sometimes when I hold up an x-2 count are priceless. Right index finger is gone down to the second knuckle. Wasn't a sawmill though, it was a roll mill about 25 years ago.

Buddy;

That leads to the obvious next question. How did you indicate O-1? Do you give them the partial index, or the full finger??

I always give 'em all I've got! I stick up the nub proudly!

Jel,

How you and the misses doing? I have the patch you sent me sewn on one
of my TASO jackets. Probably get some negative reactions, but I can take
the heat.

Thanks

Glad to hear the mail reached you during all the turmoil down that way. All is well up this way, starting to get the '06 season up and running.

Sounds as if you are doing well also, calling ball, cutting wood, building houses etc. I thought you were supposed to be sick! Guess you can't keep a good man down. Happy to hear you are well.

Buddy and Polly
