    Love to hear your support of oak!! I'm in the upstate and everyone says my red oak pile should be turned into firewood.. thanks for all the great video content! I love how you go beyond just turning to talk about the whole process.

    Your last tow videos inspired me to inventory the dry bowl blanks in the shop loft.... 726... I need to finish some, the oldest is 21 years.

      It looked like she had regular white bluetooth earphones in her ears, which as far as I know are not hearing protection. I use isotunes pro 2.0 bluetooth earphones and they have foam tips that are earplugs with a channel in them for the sound to go into the ear. They are osha approved hearing protection. Noise cancelling electronics are NOT hearing protection and do not stop the noise. Maybe I missed her wearing earplugs, or they make those tiny bluetooth earphones with tips that seal in the ear canal, otherwise she skipped the ear pro. It caught my attention. The chaps were a good idea.

    I just realized that I have a continuously renewing cache of turning blanks in my back yard. Going to go have a look at that sugar maple I know is back there, and not too old. Three things you can consider adding to your wood salvaging kit are a cant hook, nylon wedges and a hatchet. Discovering these tools was a game changer for me in processing wood. If you wanted to go deluxe, add timber tongs and a pulp hook too. Then there are also Granberg’s milling attachments for chainsaws, I bet with these you could mill up the blanks in the lot and not have as much waste back at your shop.

    The heaviest thing I've move with my dolly was a wood burning stove. Yes, they are an incredible tool. Thanks for Sharing! P.S. Everytime I went to haul something on a dolly with inflatable tires they were always flat! Yes, solid tires is the way to go!

    • @aubydauby

      I think I have the same green dolly she has. Hauling firewood last winter, the wheel busted and I just got around to turning a new hub on the lathe. How fitting

  • @coachhale70
    @coachhale70 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Ashley, a cant hook would make a lot of what you did in today's video easier. Also if take a 5' piece of rope, tie each end to opposite sides of the dolly, it makes holding blocks on the dolly.

    I love your videos. I recently cut down a few trees in my yard that I plan on using them for projects. Trying to keep large pieces I used a come-along and tow strap to move them. Might be worth you trying in order to get undesirable pieces out of your way without using a lot of fuel cutting.

  • @pauldurham2527
    @pauldurham2527 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You should look at investing in a cant hook. It’s a great tool. Did you notice in the direction that you were milling the log you got long shavings? It can clog up in the discharge area, but if you cut the other direction you get smaller chips that don’t clog. Just an observation. Thanks for your videos

    • @letmeseeit66

      I was going to say the same thing, but I was going to call it a peavey.

    • @pauldurham2527
      @pauldurham2527 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@letmeseeit66 never heard it called that before, so I looked it up. The difference is a peavey has a point at the end of the tool for different uses where a cant hook does not. Learn something new everyday.

    There is no stopping you when you harvest for your woodturning blanks. 😊👏
    I have seen from your videos that you make a variety of stuff on your lathe. Bowls making up the majority of your projects it seems. Do you ever make mallets or do any woodcarving? Would be interesting to see a mallet design from your artistic perspective. 😃
    All the best to you and your family!

    Nice video. This one felt relaxed and you seem to be enjoying yourself. You could mix in some more casual short vids, vlog style, to go with the more feature videos you put out.
    Random stuff:
    You should look into working with dovetail workwear, a badass women’s clothing line.
    A big peavy will help roll those logs off a pile. A 60” will give you lots of leverage over the logs.
    Better yet, I just slip my buddy who runs the crane truck some cash to meet me at the yard and load up some logs. Worth every penny.

    Hi Ashley, for the love of your work is great. I was wondering what do you do to keep your fresh wood from cracking. I use a grinder to carve out the bowls I’m making and there is always some rot and cracking going on. I’m still new at this and have been filling the cracks and rot with epoxy. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I have been watching your Instagram account for some time now, your an inspiration for your craft.

  • @DiemenDesign
    @DiemenDesign 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good info, though you could have made moving the selected pieces out to cut up a lot easier on yourself. Use your vehicle to tow the pieces out, or a come along anchored to pull the pieces out and easier to manage. Personally, I think it's far too dangerous, and easy to get hurt trying to cut pieces that are stacked. I've seen too many people get a leg trapped, or they've simply fallen over when something moves. Be safe, keep turning.

    There are some woods, which I can't identify cause I simply don't know what it is, but it has absolutely beautiful color inside. The problem is I don't think you could turn it to make anything because the largest diameter of the trunk that I have seen is around 3 inches! Is there anything you can do with wood that small?
