Logging arch and milling

[John Hughes]

My old logging arch was called into action yesterday to move some large larch ready for milling.

 

 

 

 

Some of the timber will be used in the repair of the small building seen in the background.

Milling the larch.

 

 

This one blew over before we got round to felling it.

We used most of the timber repairing this building. It was a game larder for the estate and still has all the hooks for hanging the birds and deer.

Repairing the building?

Looks more like 'Triggers broom'!

Looks good John, did you taper the feather edge?

[John Hughes]

No, in the end we did not cut featheredge.

I did make up an attachment for the Lucas copying* pictures of an original.

It worked but there were 3 problems. Firstly* i was not clever enough to work out how far to move the blade across after each cut. It was no longer a simple matter of* using the scale.

The blade cut too deep on the vertical cuts causing saw marks on the uncut log.

The third problem was that a small deviation of the blade that would not be too noticeable on an ordinary board would show up badly on a featheredge board. Once the trim to cover the end grain is on* one can not tell.

I am going to make an attachment for the Mizer which I am thinking about bringing back from Wales to mill in our friend Jeremy's wood.
