That's good, maybe he will grow up to get as big as these two that I caught,
No, I didn't throw them back...

IF those two had been in one of my ponds, they would have ate everything in it, in about 15 minutes! lol lol
ANYWAY, today I was sorting some logs I brought home, including this cedar that a guy wants me to mill a beam out of it,
Also, here's a pretty nice oak, I'm going to mill this one "live edge",
SO, I moved those two in line to be milled, hopefully fairly soon.

I'll send some down your way, I had a bunch blow over. I just push them out of my way, no use for them right now.

I was in HD the other day and noticed live slabs of pine going for $177.00. Wow! Never thought about slabs before I threw so many
away while milling my landscape lumber.
Started the wall I milled all that red pine for. It is going as I expected
not well, but getting done any way.
All the mess-ups and mistakes due to a learning curve with the mill is coming back to bite my behind.
I decided to build with the original rotting and leaning wall still in place with the intention that I will remove the old wall once
I get the new one high enough to support the dirt, and just before I have soil to back fill with.
My mistakes in measuring during milling has led me to adapt as I go.
I dug down a little for my gravel base and at times I saw the bottom of the original wall, but somehow I am ending up with almost
a foot of gravel at the end. All I can think of is there must be a foot of original wall under the surface at the start point which means my
land has changed drastically over the years.
My beams are level(ish) yet a foot higher at the end of the original wall.
I think my measuring tape must be defective (same one I was using on the mill)
Can't stop now, or restart. I may end up sinking vertical posts to support the wall, which I was sure I would not have to do because
of the much higher weight than the original lumber.
My poor milling skill has lead to some "spaces" between the logs. I have 2 more base logs to level out then I can go up which I hope goes
a lot quicker (every log at least has one clean 6" side, the width, sometimes off by 1/4" can be worked around)
I have my doubts about this wall out-living the original wall by twice the expectancy, but live and learn. There's always a solution. It just
depends on cost and labor.
By the way, I built the original wall 19 years ago, totally by hand with 10 yr lifespan wood. For this one I'm wishing I could have afforded to hire someone.
I've apparently aged and definitely have deteriorated health-wise in 19 years. Original took me a little over a day, this one is taking many days and I have
machines to help me a certain amount.

I see that old buzz saw - reminds me of what we had when I was growing up powered by an IH H or M and flat belt. Everybody says they are very dangerous as they are obviously are not shielded but I have never had a close call on one or personally knew of anyone who did. If used properly and respected they are great saws with a lot of output and less work than chainsaw.
