    Is it anything like a degree in cupcake arts.

    Invest in things that are needed every day. Water food or things to get water and food. Essentials.
    What's the difference between a crackhead and a tweaker?
    The crackhead will steal your shit and bounce--the tweaker will steal your shit and then help you look for it.

    Probably a little different then cupcake arts but that's just a guess. Most of the guys that I knew in in the Forestry industry were pretty smart rednecks that had plenty of non-cupcake tendencies.

    Most major University's that offer degrees in Forestry offer classes or curriculum in Wood Science or Forest Products. Ole Slippy actually has a Forest Products Minor from a Football Powerhouse that has a well regarded College of Forestry. Like I've said, Slippy's one sophisticated Sum Bitch.

    Awesome! That sounds like something I should look into for something to do on the weekends. For the last few years, I have been trying to convince Mrs Inor that I need one of these and a Bobcat to load the logs onto it:

    She has not explicitly said "No", so I take that to mean "Hell yeah! Go for it Inor!" The problem is I do not know anybody that is a sawyer to teach me how to use the thing. A Wood Science class might be just the ticket!

    Thanks Slippy!

    I took carpentry at a tech school around ten fifteen years ago and they cut down trees to clear a lot then they had a portable sawmill work the wood that was cleared to use in the house we were building.

    You betcha Inor!

    Check out the Bobcat Utility Vehicle called the Toolcat. If I had your money, this would be in my garage

    I used to work for a large Lumber company and I'm here to tell you, Modern Sawmill technology is a powerful thing to watch. I've been in sawmills from the Southern Pine Mills to the Upper Midwest to the Pacific NorthWest and they are amazing things in action. Taking big logs, debarking, running them through the head rig saw is a thing of power. Kind of like watching bulldozers, it never gets old.

    If I had my money it might be in my garage too. Unfortunately, Obama has taken all of my money.

    That is a cool idea for a machine though. It looks like it would be more versatile than a regular Bobcat. Hmmm...

    Ark -

    Please tell me more about your Timberking. Why did you choose it? Are you happy with it? How does it compare with the Wood Mizer? (The only reason I default to Wood Mizer is because I saw one at a woodworking show and it looked to be pretty well made.) Where did you learn to use it? How long do blades last?

    Seriously, this has been something that has interested me for a LONG time and something I am seriously considering getting.

    Nice hijack of the thread, rather than useful information from many people about alternate investments, it ends up as a discussion of wood.

    I'm losing patience.

    Please read the first post and go away with the wood hugger talk

    Good point, Uncle Sugar gots my money and be givin' it to lots of folk in need.

    Seriously, the Bobcat Toolcat looks to be real versatile, especially on a small farm. So many things. so few dollars....
