Stories, software, and a life lived across several worlds
Last time we saw slabs and put them aside. This time the slabs get clamped together so that we can use the chainsaw mill to saw the marker poles we are after. As always the first step is to put on the guide rails for the first cut.

The first cut is done with the help of those rails.

And as you can see there are a few cants coming out of that log. The clamps get lowered to make room for the chainsaw to pass.

And we can take our poles off the stack.

Here Hairo, one of Luis’s brothers, takes away one of those poles. There is so much sawdust flying around that he decided to wrap his face with another T-Shirt. Looks a bit funny but sawdust doesn’t taste that good ;-)

I build and rescue software, and I write fiction about the human side of how it gets made. Here you’ll find my stories and novelas, notes on craft, and field notes from a life lived across several worlds.
Working with software teams is what I do professionally — see how on caimito.net. You can also read about my experience since 1986.
