Northeast Wisconsin GTG thinking of having one

12 stitches you say? You didnt do too serious damage did ya? I have been lucky so far in life to never have come into contact with the business end of a saw, my dad has taken a couple minor hits. So what exactly happened? And what exactly is that thing you made there, I am guessing it is for bucking but I just cant quite picture how it is going to be used. Sorry for all the questions and hope your leg dont hurt to bad.

that sir is a heavy duty saw cant leg doesnt hurt at all the freezing for the stiches hurt more than the cut.

Hmm...cant wait to see it in action.

Ouch. I'm guilty of not putting mine on now and then. "It's just a couple cuts."

One week away from rolling out headed east. I'm still way behind on getting more projects going, but at least my pile of chains that need sharpening is getting smaller, and I'm crossing some of those other non-saw details that need to be attended to off the list.

I actually got out last night and cut a couple test logs and sharpened a couple chains. That 4 cube build off chain I wrecked is still sharp as hell, and way too agressive, and cuts horribly... Guess I'll just have to keep filing till it's back to .035...
Gonna take a while...:msp_angry:

Specter, PM me your address again if you would. I had it here somewhere but can't seem to find it now.

I've just heard these guys on the firewood forum talkin up this "rock" elm...
Steve was gonna find a piece of it for me to take back and burn...
I'll bring a chunk O Hedge up with me... The border patrol ain't gonna confiscate it are they?

 

[Steve NW WI]

Hedge should be fine. I suppose it's too early in the year for hedge apples? Could use some spider removal tools if they're in season.

I'll work on some rock Elm for ya this weekend. Certain I have some red Elm that needs to come down. There is some elm in last year's leftover firewood stacks, but I couldn't ID it without bark for sure. Might be any one of the Elm varieties.

Got a bunch of 2 year aged ironwood in the stacks as well.

Not too early for Hedge apples... I'll see about scrounging up a box of them before heading out...
I've cut Hop Hornbeam a bit... Good stuff, but the trees don't seem to get very big...
You all got Persimmon up there?

 

[Steve NW WI]

If it grows up here, I've not recognized it.

Ironwood generally doesn't get big, but their small stature doesn't keep me from cutting all of em I can get my saws into. Sure is nice stuff at -30°.

1 week to go everyone. Plus this thread needed a bump :msp_biggrin:

Heard a rumor today that if you look hard enough and long enough, you might be able to find a Polaris 6x6 next weekend...

See ya next weekend! Coming Friday or just coming up Saturday?

30" bar coming for the XP1000, should be here for next weekend, there's an outside chance of another saw coming with me sporting 34" and 6 cubes, depends on parts arrival. I also picked up a couple carb kits at Boyd's today, hope to make a couple more runners yet this week as well.

1 week to go? Crap, I'm going to have a hard enough time just bringing myself.

Maybe I'll just run Stumpy's saws.

I suppose i can let everyone run my Stumpbroke saws thats if Hedgey lets go of em. I'm still worried after he runs that 576AT at Stumps that it will be mysteryiously forget when they get up here :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

 

[specter29]

a littl bird told me he was itching to rerun the 562at 576at :wink2:
