All this time, and I've never gloated before. I kinda like it!

Bunch o' guys that hang out on another forum got together in
September/October to mill a free maple. the tree was part of a homestead,
planted in 1880, and used to like the driveway, the owners wanted it to got
to something other than firewood. We were more than happy to oblige.

After a couple of weekends cutting, milling (Alaskan chain saw mill) and 8
weeks being kiln dried (in and out of the kiln 12 times to relieve the
stress's), we brought home the stack today. Most of it's curly, some of it's
a full (clear) 24" wide, most of it's dead flat.

I will consider that after I read the FAQ for this newsgroup. If there

Jamie, just tell JOAT to pull his damned tongue out of his cheek, to get off
his butt and to welcome you to the rec... (he's harmless, seriously!)

To tell me I suck, after I post a smug post as I did is a compliment (to
me). The more "you suck"'s I get, the better I did.

I think you did great too and am wondering what your plans are for the

YOU SUCK!

Sorry, that was the obligatory response.

You ARE going to resticker/restack that pile, right?

You do have other wood available. Even curly
maple could get boring on the 20th piece. Or
maybe not.

Let's see, resaw to 1/16th inch, 30 pieces
per plank x 1000 = 30,000! You could do
ALL the walls and ceiling in your house and
have plenty left over!

YOU REALLY, REALLY SUCK!

That pile has to do until Sunday. That's when we get together and distribute
it...where it will be taken to several homes, stickered and drooled on..

Well, great Rob, the Woodworking Gods had thought you had forgotten
them; but, I assurred them you'd come thru. Let me know when you're
prepared to ship their fair share, and I'll provide the address.

Come now, they're not greedy, it's either one, or the other, not
both.

Besides, four is the optimum number, not six. One would pick on
you. Two would fight. Three, two would gang up on one. Four, they
share the work, and peace reigns.

Anyway, it's only a small temple, so just one slightly used virgin
will do them fine as a sacrifice.

Nine quarter is garbage. Good wood comes in 4/4, 8/4, 12/4.

Your maple is too big for 8 and too small for 12. I'll be glad to haul
it off to make more room for your good stuff.

All I require is some microbrew, and some help loading. Don't worry,
we'll have that crap out of there in no time.

BTW. you suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. G

Barry

Microbrew did play a rather large roll in the manufacturing process of this
pile of solid sawdust(not at the same time the chainsaws were doing their
thing though). So too did several container loads of chocolate chip cookies
and a rather large bull named Thor.. but that's another story for another
day

Everyone knows you drive a nail with a shoe, preferably a high-heeled
shoe. Those 4-inch spikes from the sixties would be the preferred model
unless there are some 5-inch spikes around. One must consider the skill
involved in hitting the nail head square on with that tiny spike (while
using the flexible shoe body as the handle!). And some guys don't think

It's a trick question. You use the head of the screw that's poking out of
the top of the handle. The screw that's taking up the slop where the wedge
should be.
