There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love to do, there is only scarcity of resolve to make it happen. You might want to contact the fella from Axeman II. He might have some insight.
Built my own band mill with the help of Forestry Forum. There's a co in either Mass. I saw it somewhere I'll see if I can find it again and give you the site Chico. Fishfarm might be onto something, because that guy comes across as a complete idiot, but seems to have alot of equipment. I think Tom is is also onto something though, that guy from axman uses an Alaskan mill to process his own stuff and sells directly to the customer.
HIgh end fireplace mantels WHat I would do before I got too far along is check on the laws in your area. I heard of a guy in MIchigan pulling logs from Lake superior who went to jail because he didn't have the right permits. I have a buddy with a crane who owns frontage on a deep pond that was supposedly used as a log dump after the Hurricane of 38 and he has a brother in law who scuba dives, but I cant get them to look into it. I am already looking into the permits.
I have some friends in the state house that can help me get started on the permit process. I was wrong it was an old story I was reading a couple of months ago It was a guy from MInn and they got the logs out of lake Michigan They had a law passed to allow it apparently about the time they were doing it Chico. There is a guy here in maine who does this. Scott "There is much that I need to do, even more that I want to do, and even less that I can do.
The U. Opt for second-hand furniture whenever possible. This not only saves trees and other materials, but also prevents useful items from taking up space in landfills.
Look for the FSC label on all wood products you buy. When buying foam-filled furniture, including mattresses, ask whether flame-retardant chemicals were used in their manufacture. Another drawback to sheet board is that cores and veneers often contain formaldehyde or noxious binders that can cause health problems. Many environmentally conscious cabinetmakers now offer formaldehyde-free sheet board.
Bamboo has comparable hardness to many tree species, but the fast-growing grass regenerates in less than a decade. Its interesting grain is making it a popular alternative for cabinetry. Formaldehyde is often used as a binder, so look for products that contain none or very low levels. Biocomposite boards, made from fibers such as wheat, sorghum, rice or sunflowers, are a great substitute for wood.
The agricultural products—some are farming waste that might otherwise be disposed—are quickly renewable and provide farmers with another source of income. Many biocomposite makers are already in tune with health issues and avoid using formaldehyde or VOC-emitting chemicals in the binders that fuse the fibers into boards. The main roadblock to environmentally conscious cabinetry is its availability.
Stock cabinets made from FSC-certified wood or eco-friendly alternatives are almost unknown, and custom-made cabinetry can be pricey. Budget-conscious buyers can make small sacrifices such as less expensive hardware, simpler design elements or an economical wood species.
Another alternative is to eliminate cabinet doors altogether or use simple shelving for the upper tier. Or you could reuse existing cabinets, but relocate or rearrange them. Founded in in a small backyard in upstate New York, Power Pallet has since grown to a multi-million dollar business. This family-owned operation has gone from manually recycling pallets per day to refurbishing nearly times that amount with 70 employees and 15 acres of manufacturing land.
In , pallet recycling was virtually unknown. With neither machinery nor automation, Power Pallet's employees used crowbars, hammers and nails to reclaim used pallets. They gathered and delivered pallets by hand using small trucks. Today the company recycles and manufactures over 60 sizes and types of pallet for over customers within a mile radius of New York.
Power Pallet relies on supplies of used pallets to recycle. In some cases, customers who buy from Power Pallet also supply used pallets back to the company.
