In this video I’m gonna show you how to make Lap siding (aka) Clapboard siding using nothing more than a simple 5/8 wood shim. I’ll be doing this on the Woodmizer LT15. No special Jigs needed to achieve the same quality of cuts. Make it a Great Day!

Today we are going to a job site to retrieve logs. This was a small job, so we used our Bobcat S250 with the grapple bucket to move the logs to a loading area for the log truck to pickup. Then, it was back to the homestead to watch a skilled logger unload the logs from the log truck for sawing at the sawmill.

Make it a Great Day!

In today’s video, I am running the Eastonmade splitter with the 6 way wedge in the log yard. Start with the log; cut it into rounds; and then split the rounds into firewood. I had a little fun with the sound effects on the video, but I will be doing a detail video soon. Just a quick visual of my favorite splitter in action. If you’re thinking of getting an Eastonmade splitter, I highly recommend the 12-22. – Chuck
