  • Hand Saws Hand Saws Have Evolved to fill Many Niches and Cutting Styles
    Source: https://www.garagetooladvisor.com/hand-tools/different-types-of-saws-and-their-uses/ Hand Saws Hand saws have evolved to fill many niches and cutting styles. Some saws are general purpose tools, such as the traditional hand saw, while others were designed for specific applications, such as the keyhole saw. No tool collection is complete without at least one of each of these, while practical craftsmen may only purchase the tools which fit their individual usage patterns, such as framing or trim. Back Saw A back saw is a relatively short saw with a narrow blade that is reinforced along the upper edge, giving it the name. Back saws are commonly used with miter boxes and in other applications which require a consistently fine, straight cut. Back saws may also be called miter saws or tenon saws, depending on saw design, intended use, and region. Bow Saw Another type of crosscut saw, the bow saw is more at home outdoors than inside. It uses a relatively long blade with numerous crosscut teeth designed to remove material while pushing and pulling. Bow saws are used for trimming trees, pruning, and cutting logs, but may be used for other rough cuts as well. Coping Saw With a thin, narrow blade, the coping saw is ideal for trim work, scrolling, and any other cutting which requires precision and intricate cuts. Coping saws can be used to cut a wide variety of materials, and can be found in the toolkits of everyone from carpenters and plumbers to toy and furniture makers. Crosscut Saw Designed specifically for rough cutting wood, a crosscut saw has a comparatively thick blade, with large, beveled teeth.

  • Tools of the Cabinetmaker, but Also Like the Cartwright, the Hatchet (Handbeil) and the Drawknife (Schneidemesser)
    CHAPTER FIVE The Chairmaker The chairmaker bears the name in common with English chairmakers presumably because his trade is originally transplanted from England to Germany, or because several types of chairs that are made in his workshop have been common first in England. In the making of chairs, the settee (Canape), and sofa, he wields not only the plane and other tools of the cabinetmaker, but also like the cartwright, the hatchet (Handbeil) and the drawknife (Schneidemesser). I. In most regions, and especially in the German coastal cities, chairmakers make their chairs out of red beech wood, in Magdeburg out of linden wood, and in Berlin out of serviceberry wood (Elsenholz). Red beech is lacking in our area, and the cabinetmaker, who before the arrival to Berlin of chairmakers that made wooden chair frames, chose therefore serviceberry wood in place of red beech. Likewise the chairmakers, when they arrived in Berlin, found that circumstances also compelled them to build their chairs out of serviceberry wood. If the customer explicitly requires it, and will pay especially for it, they sometimes build chairs out of walnut, plum wood, pearwood, and mahogany wood, and for very distinguished and wealthy persons out of cedarwood. The chairmaker obtains the serviceberry wood partly in boards that are one to five inches thick and partly in logs. The farmer in the [town of] Mark Brandenburg brings this wood, partly in logs and also in boards, to Berlin to sell, but the strongest and best comes from Poland. If the wood has not sufficiently dried when purchased by the chairmaker it must stay some time longer and properly dry.

    Calculating Board Feet board Feet linear feet z "Board Feet" is a measurement of lumber square feet volume. z A board foot is equal to 144 cubic inches of wood.

  • Feasibility Analysis of a Small Log Sawmill in Southeast Alaska
    1 Feasibility analysis of a small log sawmill in Southeast Alaska Executive Summary Unlike most Southern Yellow Pine sawmills, a small log mill in Southeast Alaska that manufactured lumber from 60-year old trees, would not be profitable. There are many additional operating costs in the remote forests of Southeast Alaska that the Southern Yellow Pine sawmills do not incur. The two most costly disadvantages are; 1. An additional $SO per thousand board feet of lumber that is required to transport lumber from Southeast Alaska to the Pacific Northwest and, 2. The lack ofany reasonable economy of scale. The small timber sale volume projected to be available to the manufacturing industry in Southeast Alaska is inadequate to support more than a single mid-size sawmill. Consequently the regions sawmills will not produce any income from the residual products - chips, sawdust and bark. The chips are currently barged to pulp mills in the Pacific Northwest and Canada, while the Yellow Pine sawmills can deliver chips to nearby pulp mills at a much lower cost than the Alaska sawmills. Similarly, there are no fiberboard plants to utilize the sawdust from Southeast Alaska sawmills and there is no market for the bark in Southeast Alaska. Instead, most ofthe sawdust and bark must be disposed of in landfills. Introduction The purpose of this analysis is to compare several financial estimates of the feasibility of manufacturing lumber from immature young growth timber in Southeast Alaska. Four sawmill proformas are 1 examined : 1. A summary of five actual Southern Yellow Pine sawmills. This proforma was used because much of the rhetoric surrounding the Secretary of Agriculture unilateral decision to transition to 60+ year old Alaska young growth was based on assertions that Yellow Pine sawmills harvest their 2 timber before age 60 • Other than the obvious difference in tree species, the yellow pine region has much different logistic issues than Southeast Alaska.

Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.

    United States Department of Agriculture Factors Determining Forest Service Forest Products Lumber Recovery in Laboratory General Technical SawmiI ling Report FPL-39 Philip H. Steele Abstract Lumber volume recovery in sawmilling is determined by a confusing interaction of several factors. The more one knows about each individual factor, the more one can understand how the factors interact. The author identifies and discusses in detail seven factors influencing lumber recovery. Past and current research is cited, and examples are given to illustrate the points made. Keywords: Lumber recovery, sawmills, sawmilling. April 1984 Steele, Philip H.
