Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions A 6x6 based timber frame?

It was from my neighbors place. There was some really nice stuff there, but I found a lot of rotten hearts when I got them home. I got some even better stuff from a place across the valley from me, but it's hard to find the stuff I'm looking for. Got a request for a really nice 10"x21"x30' timber yesterday, but I can't find the logs, and to get only one log is even more costly.

Here's a nice one from last summer:



Here's a thread on some of the logging I did last year:

Logging.

I really like the photos of your mill, Dave. How much "control" does your remote unit actually give you? Can you control the hydraulic functions as well as the head functions with the remote?

Hydraulic functions are still on the mill. Accuset still has to be changed on the console. All other functiins are on the remote, such as autoclutch, debarker, etc.

That log would have made some nice clapboard siding. Its not too late!

Thanks, Dave. What are your thoughts on upgrading an LT40HD by adding accuset and an auto clutch?

The clutch is one thing, it can be lived with, but I've come to think that the accuset function is more than just an "option" -- it's almost a necessity.

I really like the Accuset2. My mill is a Super, so the head moves up and down pretty fast. Without the computer, it would be hard to hit the mark quickly. Autoclutch is very nice as well. I guess I'm spoiled with my bells and whistles, but I don't really want to be without them now.
