My partner and I have come to a wall and the foundation isn't complete yet. I am now in the process of making up some drawings, while waiting for the plans for the sho...

Oh yes Robert, all of it makes since. I am building it extra heavy to show what can be done with the mill. All the post and beams are going to be 6x6 and lag bolted together with steel angle clips. Once the floor is finished, it will fly up. I'm even making the rafters at the post 6x6. Gonna be a h...

Boy, there is just enough room to build the new shop with out tearing down the old one first. The string line will be the front porch.Theres only about 4" between the string and the old building.

Hope to get these footers done today, then start sawing the parimeter beams for the floor. Will get some pix when there is actually some...

My problem is they dont understand that the smaller the log the straighter it needs to be. They tell me its small but straight. I try to tell them that a four inch bow in an 8 inch log renders the log basically worthless. And they always want to measure the big end.
Yes I agree 100% Stan.

:D Ok, I am posting this so that folks looking here about having their logs milled, could see the difference between logs and what a sawyer see's as sticks (or this sawyer anyway). These logs are the best size for the most production on my mill. There about 24" to 28" except the small one...

:D Hey reprosser, You might find it hard to find someone to mill logs that short. But if it were me I think I'd saw it at 6/4 or 8/4. I don't think BW is real bad to warp, bow & twist. It being that short,... if it does do anything it probably won't be much or enough that you couldn't plane it ...

How old is it lmbeachy? that sounds kinda high for a used saw. Then again I don't really know that much about them as far as cost goes.

I think I'll wait till I've got a good chunck saved so the payments won't be too bad nor too long. Untill then,.. I'm gonna wear thi...

:D Hey Lester,have you looked at the Cooks mill? That mill ROCKS!!. When I do upgrade,... thats what it will be. Everything Cooks makes is HEAVY duty. When you load a log onto a Cooksmill,... there isn't any rocking,.. period. It's unreal solid. Now, I do say they have there disadvantage's too. The...

:D Wow Lester, I don't know of any companys that will lease a mill. I'd like to find one though. It would be nice to find one with a lease/purchase deal. If Cooks would do that I'd have one in short order. Any body with a heart condition needs a Hydraulic mill. However I had a heart attack at 42 an...
