This is from todays hemlock that we milled, when I sharpened the chains my setting on the back was 50 (changed it from 60).

John,

The snipe was from when the mill came to end of the cut. The slab was so heavy we couldn't stop them from sliding off before the chain came to a stop.

Sure would like to get some hard maple out here, is it nice looking?

I had one that was pretty heavy come sliding off and about got the saw caught under it. I started doing this after that point:

Burningwood,

I have an off-road jack for my Jeep and they work great for lifting those big logs. I also built one of these pieces to use with the jack and it works great. Another member posted a picture and I made one for myself. Sure saves on trying to lift with pivots and bars.

Very nice, I'm not a welder but have someone that would do something like this for me.

Thanks
