Yep, that's theoretical perfect for quartersawn timber.

I wouldn't suggest stress too much about adhering rigidly to that cutting pattern, though. The defining factor of quartersawn timber isn't...

Best cut quarter sawn so they're less susceptible to 'cupping' as they dry.

Cut 4x1s or 6x1s (as per your preference) and after drying they'll dress down to 19mm, which is 'structural' sound for...

heh heh...

All that discussion and the log was rotten eh?

Bad luck mate. (But at least you've gained some food for thought about future jobs of similar ilk!)

heh heh....

That'll work until it doesn't!!!

:hahaha:

Oh bunkum and balderdash! Even though I've spent a negligible amount of time operating a Lucas Mill myself, I'll still call BS to that.

The amount and position of recoverable timber in a log is...

Bloody hell!!

Long established practice in the sawmilling game is that you don't get to knock off until it tops 40 degrees in the shade, or there's more than 4" of snow on the ground.


You...

Interesting topic. I'm considering grabbing a Lucas Mill or somesuch myself sometime in the next year or two, and will be interested to see what people have to say about the potential dangers of...

A bit of quick googling indicates:



That'd mean for wall studs dressed to 90mm, holes would need to be 270mm apart.

Firewood!

And quartersawn boards of that size from such a log is an absolute impossibility, so....

You should be able to get a couple of decent backsawn 8x2 from such a small, young log OK. Centreline of...

I'm far from being any sort of 'authority' on what can or can't be done with a Lucas Mill, Eli. I've only had a smallish play with a friend's unit. But over the years I've churned out enough timber...

I'd consider rotating the log to be an essential for such a job, and even with a 6m log doing so shouldn't be too difficult to do manually using a cant hook and crowbar. You need to be cutting...

Sounds like you place a lot of faith in the report of the pest extermintor 'expert'. I hope it's justified. Wouldn't be the first to fail to notice (or maybe even intentionally fail to report)...

heh heh...

I've been milling timber on and off since the late 60s and it's the first time I've heard of such a request too. But I reckon it'd be more of a surprise if that's first time the...

Your 'problem isn't the vendor you're looking at. It's the product you're looking at!

Doesn't matter who you get it from. If you purchase 'feature grade' floorboards you're purchasing second...

How to remove a tree stump


Kinda agree with BobL. If ur chainsaw was an animate entity it'd prolly be able to get a restraining order on you I reckon. Bending the teeth out only compensated...

Heh heh...

Yeah, to each his own.



If you do end up deciding to go with 10mm timber it'd benefit you to add a bit of support at the top corners as well. Might be hard to find L-brackets...

I've been following to to-and-fro in this discussion, and a few things are puzzling me:



That's awfully darned small for a worm farm. Too small, I'd have thought. 30cm is common for height,...

EUCLID is obtainable from CSIRO. It's still probably the benchmark resource for Australian hardwood identification:

EUCLID: Eucalypts of Australia

By the way, and as an afterthought:

Any particular 'F' rating designated for a pice of timber is NOT in any way a guarantee that the flex strength of that individual piece of timber will meet the...

It'd be a bloody HEAVY canoe, anyways! :D


But nah. If you look at this construction log for a project based on Gil Gilpatrick's book, you'll see that much of the timber volume used goes into...

Have to agree with BobL. Pretty much any species would be suitable for the purpose. I'd suggest choose a dense hardwood rather than a softwood, because the finished product will end up easier to...

Yep. The term "board foot" is an Americanism. Used in USA and Canada. In Australian and New Zealand usage the correct term is "superfoot".

Standard unit of volume measurement for timber prior...

Great forum, people, with a wealth of useful information. I hope nobody minds me *bumping* an older thread like this one when I think I have something useful to add to the information contained in...

Hi folks.
Adding to a perennial thread which has brought me to your forum because it's about the first Google hit for info about the BaumR chainsaws! I've just yesterday picked up an SX72 model...
