Timber Techniques Training
Hands on the Job Training
Vic Young from Minneapolis learned to fell trees with the bore-cut method! Fun!
Logs were skidded back the the sawmill with the ATV and Skidding Arch
At the sawmill, Vic learned about using the edger saw to rip boards lengthwise
Lumber is stacked for air drying.
Flooring Blanks are pre-planed before molding into tongue and groove flooring
A flooring board comes out of the molder - ready to trim and install
Meanwhile, Vic's wife Carol is rounding over the edges of a cutting board she glued up from the scraps.
The last day of training, Carol is installing the birch/cherry flooring in a customer's home.
