Cool video. I like the winch setup. I harvest a lot of wood for projects and firewood. I load it onto my 16' flatbed trailer which is nice as it's much closer to the ground and almost 8' wide. I use a 48" cant hook to move most of the larger logs. They work great. I built my own ramps using landscape timbers and 3/4" pipe. The pipe is bolted to the landscape timbers horizontally. You can easily move pretty large logs with a cant hook and the pipes are spaced about 20" apart. When you roll a log over the pipe it's easy to keep it there just with a little pressure from your leg and that allows me to get another bite with the cant hook. A cant hook is much better than a Peavy for this type of work. The point on the Peavy is typically used in log yards to break apart logs that are frozen together. Not needed for the type of work of collecting logs for turning and firewood. The cant hooks typically are too smooth when you buy them but I just cross hatch some lines in with the grinder and that works great. Looking forward to your next video when you process the logs. I use Ana Alaskan mill and then my bandsaw I would strongly suggest you get and wear a pair of chainsaw chaps. I spent a career in the fire service and also worked as a Sawyer on a lot of wildland fires as well as working part time for my brother who is an arborist and does a lot of fire mitigation work. Chaps have saved me from sever injuries twice and I have witnessed several others they have protected. I have also responded several times as an EMT to folks severely injured due to not having chaps. It's pretty gory. Protect yourself so you can not only be safe but I also want to see more of your videos.
I love the thin kerf parting tool - really wanted one to conserve wood, and at first I had the same issues you mentioned. A couple tips to avoid: put the lathe on a slow speed, and cut fast. Since it's so thin, it's way easier to cut quickly, which avoids the binding problems.
Shawn, Thanks for the great videos. I’ve watched every pre-req course and I’ve learned a ton. ??? Did I miss how to use a level properly ? How do I to correct items that aren’t square / level. Patty 😊
Please don't delete, you're showing path that I have taken. But I traveling with your woodworking path. Something interactive through lives and continents is happens, God bless You. 🙏
You might already know this, but when you put the guard back into the spring, you have to load it by turning it before you run the stem down. Great video. I have the same Rigid, so I will 'tune 'it up tomorrow.
It’s NOT a longworth chuck. ???Ok then. WHAT IS IT ?? It’s never mentioned what it IS or how to find it ??? It’s at 8:16 into video. Great product and no one mentions its name or how to find it. From the sign he removed I am guessing it’s called sure grip ?
Thanks for this video and for showing this neophyte woodworker the beauty and artistry of these master craftsmen. I didn't know this show existed but am now planning to visit.
Thanks for the great video Shawn. I am honored to have you comment on a number of my pieces. The Tree of Life piece was pierced and carved with my high speed nsk piercer carver.
Great tour. Lots of tools but I really liked your take on some of the display pieces. I agree, the real joy is working with the wood, not forcing it to be what you want.
Hi Shawn. Thank you for putting my deep textured platter 'Ocean Sunrise' front and center on this video's thumbnail. Another fun and info filled SWAT video. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to meet you there.
