https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juglans
Walnut trees are any species of tree in the plant genus Juglans, the type genus of the family Juglandaceae, the seeds of which are referred to as walnuts. All species are deciduous trees, 10–40 metres (33–131 ft) tall, with pinnate leaves 200–900 millimetres (7.9–35.4 in), with 5–25 leaflets; the shoots have chambered pith, a character shared with the wingnuts (Pterocarya), but not the hickories (Carya) in the same family.
The 21 species in the genus range across the north temperate Old World from southeast Europe east to Japan, and more widely in the New World from southeast Canada west to California and south to Argentina.
how to operate a sawmill
Operating a sawmill involves a series of steps, from preparing the log to milling the lumber.
1. Log Preparation:
Choosing the right logs: Select logs that are straight, solid, and free of rot or large knots.
Measuring and cutting: Determine the desired log lengths based on your project and sawmill capabilities.
Positioning and securing the log: Place the log on the sawmill bed, ensuring the flattest part is on the bunks. Use log stops and clamps to secure it firmly, ensuring the log supports are below the cutting line to prevent accidents.
2. Sawmill Operation:
Setting the cut: Adjust the saw head to the desired height for your first cut.
Milling the log: Engage the blade and slowly guide the saw head along the log, ensuring the saw doesn't bog down.
Repositioning: After each cut, raise the saw head, return it to the starting position, and adjust the log and/or saw head for subsequent cuts as needed.
3. Sawing Techniques:
Cant sawing: This method involves cutting the log into a cant (a log squared on at least one side) to maximize lumber production, .
Milling strategy: A good sawyer can plan cuts to minimize waste and maximize the use of the log.
Handling knots: Be extra cautious when cutting through knots, slowing down to maintain a level cut.
4. Blade Maintenance:
Sharpening: A sharp blade is crucial for efficient and accurate cuts.
Tensioning: Proper blade tension is essential for straight and accurate cuts and safety.
Lubrication: Lubricate the blade to reduce friction and heat buildup.
5. Safety Precautions:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear a hard hat, goggles, face shield, and ear protection when operating a sawmill.
Work area safety: Keep the work area clear of tripping hazards and debris.
Never work alone: Have someone nearby in case of emergencies.
Equipment respect: Never reach into the cutting area while the blade is moving.
Stay alert: Take breaks to avoid fatigue.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential for safe and efficient operation.
Important Notes:
Consult your sawmill's manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines.
Practice and experience are key to becoming a skilled sawyer.
Start with smaller, easier-to-handle logs if you're a beginner.
Consider taking a course or finding an experienced mentor to learn proper sawmill operation techniques
