    I've been stalking the forums for a while. This is my first post. I thought I’d share pics of the first truck load of my scrounge today. We’ve got three or four more trees to come down.

    Welcome to the FHC! And, might I say that your tailgate holder-upper is a stroke of Tennessee genius!

    Great pics! Love the old iron, even if it's a Ford. ;) Up here, something of that vintage would have needed a frame off restoration fifteen years ago. Looks like yours is loving the work!

    Welcome to the forum Buttercup

    Nice scrounge indeed!

    Just a little hint on posting pictures, if you put the pictures into the thread using the "Thunbnail" or "Full Image" buttons at the top of that page where you uploaded the files (just to the right of "Attached Files: where it says "Insert every image as a...), they will post in the thread rather than showing as an attached file. This will make it much better for those who have slower internet links as the attached files come up much slower. Hope this helps and if anyone doesn't understand what I tried to explain, please let me know and I'll keep trying. Thank you.

    WARNING! I joined for a simple tree I.D. and now I'm constantly on here.

    You've picked a great bunch of people to hang out with and share all your wood related stories. Welcome!
