Whos up for a GTG 25mi North of Louisville KY?

[Andyshine77]

Well Andy it looks like we are going to have only 1 10x10 cant and the rest are going to be 8x8's. The 10x10 is the basswood, and the 8x8 will be cottonwood. I dragged my feet to long to get back over where we were cutting, most of the good stuff is gone. There was a lot of wood there too. Oh well, at least I got the good oaks and hickories out first)

Heres some pics of the cants I've done so far:

Looking good Frank.

Thanks man, can't wait to start cutting it 1" at a time

I made a 8x8, 10x10 and the ******* size 9x9, to small to make a 10x10

That may be enough for Brad but what are the rest of us going to use?:hmm3grin2orange:

Frank you'da maaan.

So, now that you got Brad's "tuning" wood all milled up what are the rest of us gonna race with?

J/K I think we should have enough "tuning" wood around to keep Brad off the square stuff this time.


Sorry been a bit MIA here lately got a lot going on and trying to get things ready for the GTG.

I am a newer AS member, mostly lurker, occasional poster, non professional, heat my own house firewood cutter. My main firewood saw is a McCulloch 10-10s, the only Stihl I own is my orange PPE. Am I welcome at this GTG? I've never been to one but this sounds like fun. Its a little over 4 hours from me, but an old Air Force buddy of mine lives near Henryville. I haven't seen him in a couple years.
Maybe this should be a week long event. The Knob Creek machine gun shoot is the weekend after.:hmm3grin2orange:

Boda, Everybody is welcome newbie or old salt young or “experienced” makes no difference… you’re welcome here. Most of us are just like you, not a pro logger or “arborist” in the bunch.

Your Air Force buddy is just a few minutes away (Henryville is 5 miles south) bring him with ya, I’m sure we can find a saw or two laying around for him to run.

I would like to attend me and the wife for saturday. I can't commit untill a few days before the GTG but just in case, OP can you PM directions.

I think its around 10 hours for me.

There is quite a few names in this thread I would like to meet.

10hrs is a long drive for sure but it would be nice to meet the man. Only thing I can promise is you’ll leave feed fat and still grinning from the fun with plenty of new friends and memories to take with ya.

Well after all the advice I received on larger saws from several folks here, I'd like to come to the GTG on Sat. Lookin forward to seein some larger saws, different brands and learning a bunch too!

Anyone bringing a mill (ie: Alaskan or similar??) I'm interested in seeing one firsthand. Got some oak on the place I'd like to try my hand at making a mantle/ table/ benches out of.

I'm a noob for sure but I'll bring the 290 and my 210 that I've used maybe twice

Headlyj, there will be plenty of saws on hand for you to test drive. I will have my stock (muff mod) MS460 and a bone stock MS660 here for who ever wants to give them a ride. I also have a brandy new 36” Alaskan mill that has cut exactly one board, so we can get that out and play with it also.

 

[Erick]

expect to see me there with all my saws! along with misc parts and saws for sale

The more the merrier….. looking forward to seeing you hand ole Brad his arse.

the fields last spring with the weather so maybe we might get
to come for a bit. Could I get directions in case the weather

If you are interested in some 40"+ seasoned oak to play with, I may have a line on some in Louisville. Yanno, something for the 090's and SP125's to play with. :greenchainsaw:
