I had a large maple tree in my back yard cut down (it was in danger of falling). I arranged for all the resulting logs to be left. I have been cutting, splitting and stacking firewood, and decided to try making boards from big straight logs.<\/p>\n<p>I remembered my late grandfather had used a &#8220;Lumbermaker&#8221; attachment for his chainsaw. I searched the web and found, lo and behold, this product is still available. So I bought one.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I fabricated a reusable guide rail from a 4-foot length of 2&#215;6 (by drilling and countersinking 4 rows of 3 holes 18 inches apart, and equipping the holes with nails and washers), attached the Lumbermaker to a 14-inch McCulloch electric saw with three set screws, and sawed my first two slabs off a 3 foot log about 10 inches in diameter. I&#8217;m halfway to making a rectangular slab from a round log! Going is slow, but nothing that can&#8217;t be solved if needed by using a more powerful saw with a longer bar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/09\/lumbermaker.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/09\/lumbermaker.jpg\" alt=\"lumbermaker\" width=\"475\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13059\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turn logs into boards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1450],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13050"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13050"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13050\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13062,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13050\/revisions\/13062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
