Anything to give a little direction.
« on: December 03, 2008, 03:19:18 PM »
Hey guys and gals I guess? After my last rant , I have a need for instruction. Can anybody give me direction to a site that may have videos that will show some good techniques for cutting logs to timber? I know I keep asking rookie questions, but I just dont want to look like an idiot when the time comes for me to do sawing for someone else other than myself and a couple of friends. You know, maybe just something with a few good pictures but some good videos would be great. I have looked all over this site and have really enjoyed the pics and i have been on The LWF and have enjoyed the pics and a couple of videos on there as well, but I am Kinda hard headed, Id like to see more. Any direction is appreciated. I also have really enjoyed the band saw modifications i've seen. Looking forward to getting a few home made upgrades for my saw. Thanks guys....Dan

TimberKing has a pretty good video for a few bucks...I bet if you call them, they will send it ASAP. What experience I have had with them, they are a pretty good bunch.

Kirk that is good of you. God bless you, Ill e-mail to you tonight.Mike, i appreciate the link , I am going to go there and see what I can learn, and Joasis, LOL, I think right now, I might let the TimberKing thing slide, Not too happy with them at the moment. But thanks , and to tell you the truth, when I got my TK mill, it came with a disc showing the different mills and some cutting jobs they performed. But I needed something more in-depth.  Thank you all....Dan
