Log lathe.

[crazy]

Hey TreeBones, I was looking at your site and I have two questions. You say that you can cut 24". I thought a LT40 could cut 28". You also mention octagon posts, do you have one of those log lathes?

[TreeBones]

The opening on the throat of the saw is 28" and I do cut some wide stuff sometimes but don't advertise this. For the octagon posts I start with a square post and then clamp it into a jig that holds it for the rest of the cuts. No lathe. I would like to have the lap sider but cant validate the cost without the work to pay for it.

I have seen wood misers log lathe, I always wondered how they work do you make individual pass then turn the log or do you let the log spin slowly and cut slowly?

[Backwoods sawyer]

Both ways. It has a motor that turns the log, and it has locking positions for making triangles and octagons. One good job could justify either the lap sider or the lathe.

donnaj867,
Everyone is welcome here as long as they are not a spammer and contribute to the forum in a positive manner.
I am guessing you really don't have much to do with the sawmill or woodworking industry so maybe you can tell us a little more about yourself. I know of many people who never picked up a piece of wood or used a tool until one day it just hit them and they turned into a craftsman overnight. You never know.
