Well, I might have just figured out how to post a note. No pun intended. Next might be posting a picture. Do not hold your breath, Kirk and Jay.

WOW! I did it!

How hard can it be moderator Frank?

Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner" · « **Reply #2 on:** January 15, 2008, 02:49:17 PM »

Hard enough, but most likely too much of a challenge for this old man, I guess.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #3 on:** January 15, 2008, 07:15:59 PM »

I have full confidence in you Frank!

Welcome Andy...this will take some time to build, but we will add as we go. I have to say, aftet the crash course in forums, it isn't sinking in, just like Frank and posting pictures!

Neat script Andy...we won't be getting the boot here, we own this one, with no masters. I also quit all other forums...after what Nathan did to me/us on S&T, I told him I wouldn't have anything else to do with him.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #10 on:** January 16, 2008, 06:40:22 PM »

Rest assured Andy, A boot camp spit shine is what this place will have when we are done with it!

Welcome a board, Andy and Mike. Good to have you on the site. Thank you both for joining in the discussions.

Ps, Kirk: just that kind of sequence mixes up my thinking skills.

Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner" · « **Reply #12 on:** January 16, 2008, 07:03:01 PM »

Rest assured, Andy, all that was done was have the truth being said. Some folks skin was too thin to stand the "pickaroon"

The second and third words I understand. What does the first word mean?

Safety: Defined as what you must be aware of when working one of these.

Franklyn...BEAUTIFUL mill!! Wahhhhhhh....I want one of those. So let me ask you. Is it like a brand new truck. You keep it all shiny and new when you first get it but after the first few nix N dentz you figga it looks real finally so you just leave it to nature?
So whats the downside of that machine? I can't imagine....except for what I'm guessing the price probably is.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #24 on:** January 20, 2008, 09:05:34 AM »

I dont know of a down side for the MD. No walking with it, edges while it cuts, drags the board back, accurate, and simple! Even I can operate it

Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner" · « **Reply #25 on:** January 20, 2008, 10:30:46 AM »

Ya, even Kirk can operate the saw.

About the only down side that Ihave found in 15 years of owening a MD mill is that I have to convert the bottom edger blade to cut timbers up to 8" x 12". and I cannot cut such a timber in one pass like a 2 x 4. I know the plans have been drwn and some tentative issues have been done for makeing two permanent 19" edger blades on a stronger vertical edgerblade shaft, buty no real construction. I knwo thet there are at least 4 of us out here on the Left Coast that want Ron to build one for us. I have yet to convince him to get to the task. I would buy one in a heartbeat.

andybuildz · « **Reply #26 on:** January 20, 2008, 10:49:38 AM »

Frank...will they mill you in half on it if you devulge how much one of them goes for?

andybuildz · « **Reply #27 on:** January 20, 2008, 10:55:38 AM »

OK..this gives me an idea

Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner" · « **Reply #28 on:** January 21, 2008, 09:42:01 AM »

No, Andy, they will not mill me in half. I am not really sure for all of the possible price issues. There are a number of options that can be added to and such for a mill. A couple years ago I was demoning a mill for themat the Oregon Logging conference and that mill went for just at $26,000. It had the winch loading system and all.

Thats ok Frank...I wrote them for info yesterday.

Well, I just checked the membership list and see that we have 22 listed. Who is going to be lucky number 25. I can send them a baggy of official Oregon Douglas Fir sawdust, or?

Stevem · « **Reply #36 on:** January 31, 2008, 10:18:41 AM »

I'm here Frank.

I'm a little confused about what was happening over yonder but I'm trusting you on where I need to be. But what the heck I've been confused for a long time. Might have something to do with my/our age?I'll get on the Swinger side and give some input.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #37 on:** January 31, 2008, 10:21:32 AM »

Welcome to the site Stevem. Rest assured if your getting your directions from Frank your words of trusting him are right on!

Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner" · « **Reply #38 on:** January 31, 2008, 02:12:01 PM »

Glad you showed up, Steve. Steve is a friend of mine from across the Willamette River Valley, about 60 miles and up on the Western Slope of the Cascade Range.

Thank you for joining our forum.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #39 on:** January 31, 2008, 02:20:03 PM »

Sounds like that might be some good mule deer hunting area?

Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner" · « **Reply #40 on:** February 01, 2008, 08:23:14 AM »

Mule deer are further East, across the mts., I think.

Stevem · « **Reply #41 on:** February 01, 2008, 11:26:53 AM »

The west side of the Cascades has what are called Black Tail deer and they're quite small compared to the mulies in the east. They're adapted to the heavy ubnder growth we have. Also have a few stray white tails.
But right on the Cascade divide point every so often we get a mix of Mulie/Black Tail some locals call them Bench Legs. Legs of a Black Tail and body of a Mulie. When they run it's obvious they're a hybreds. The front legs think they'er on kind of deer and the back legs think they're the other. So while on set wants to really run the other set is trying to jump or spring up and down.
