Made some shavings today….

I made some Honey Locust shavings from the logs I bucked up today, I still have a few left to do.








I made some aluminum chips also , like a total DA I left my log roller laying on the ground & subsequently found it when I was bucking up a log.

 

OUCH!

 

Looking at those metal chips, the machinist in me says your 0.025” chip load was a bit excessive At least aluminum is a little more forgiving than steel.

 

Got any pics of the chain?

 

No, it only knocked the points off of about 3 cutters otherwise it was in pretty good shape. At least for being used for milling aluminum…

 

Not funny but I had to laugh anyway.

 

Loving that HL. Not liking the metal shavings. At least it was aluminum and not steel.

 

The boring beatles/insects are loving it too, they have been busy making holes & dust.

 

Ouch, maybe you can get it hotsnotted it solid again?

 

I will take it to my buddy that has a welding & fabrication shop, he will get it fixed up for me. He welded the head back on my pickaroon for me. He & his brother are pretty talented, they build with steel & aluminum.

 

Score!

 

RuhRoh Shortened one of my plastic wedges this summer…wondered where all of the yellow ribbons were coming from . Just glad it wasn’t a metal one!

 

I routinely hit my plastic wedges, I nice sharp single cut file brings them right back.

 

Yeah, this one’s verrry short now
