Some pics about the working with wood

[sinawali]

Hi
I'm new here, I'm studying forestry in Germany and want to improve my English, because i want to go to USA or Canada after my study.
I'm working with wood all my life, here some pics.
My new hobby, turning, that's the first bowl i turned from rotten beech wood

The sawmill of my family

My own chainsaws

That's the area I'm working at the moment (collecting datas). The area has been reforested, it's an old army terrain. The tree species are Robinia pseudoacacia and Quercus rubra. They wanted to make a clearcut, but my chef convinced the forester, that there has to be a shelter. And he was right, all the Robinia without a shelter have died due to frost, while the underplanted trees have died only to 40%;

And here are some pictures of german forestry machinery

Nice pictures. I really like the bowl. Welcome to Arboristsite.

 

[Raintree]

Yes, welcome.

Very nice saw mill, how old is that? Looks like it predates the war.

Yes, welcome.

Very nice saw mill, how old is that? Looks like it predates the war.

Hi
It's about 60-70 years old. The mill itself exist since the beginning of the 20th century. At the beginning, the mill operated with water power.

Here some other pics

[Raintree]

Yes very awesome, thanks for the extra pics.

Any chance you got a video of the mill in operation?

 

[sinawali]

No chance, sorry.
Get in trouble with this part of my family and there is no contact anymore.
I miss it often to work in the sawmill, the sound, the wood, but that's life...

Some other pictures from the cable crane

The working process is mostly the same: felling and cut the top, then the tree is transported to the base, where the harvester remove the branches and cut to lenght.
Cutting fuelwood

Thats me, cutting some old joists, this joist were transported to my university to making some tests. They were interspersed with salt, fiew cuts and i had to sharpen the chain

And that ist my hobby, gardening

Nice pics. Nice lil 026 there. Is that a dolmar 5105?

No, thats the Dolmar PS 4605
I sold the 026 yesterday, looking for a 034 ass allround saw

 

[josh1981]

Nice pics again. Nice dolmar. I have a 5105. Best 50cc saw I have ever used and owned. Blows the 260 and 261 I had clear out of the water... Love the power and torque of that saw.

I also have a Stihl 009L 441c and 084. Km110R kombi unit and bg86 blower

Selling my 028wb and 250.

Never heard of that model dolmar is it good

 

[sinawali]

THe 4605 ist similar to the 5105, she has 45,6 cm³, the Horsepower is 3.5 (s.6kw). She is a little bit more designed for prunning than the 5105.

 

[josh1981]

Got it. Thanks for explaining it.
