after reading both the forestry guides im only slightly less confused to how to get started.. lots of good info in them, but could you guys possibly do something like
http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=Tutorial:First_Steps from the industrial wiki? To make it more of an idiots guide, for people like me who cant figure this stuff out without our hands being held the first time we make things. maybe assume that the person has all the ore and gems needed to get going, but state what each machine takes.. IF i didnt want to automate tree farming i wouldnt even bother its so confusing.

this is exactly how you make the logger.
this is how you build the area around the logger.
