About to dive in...

Interesting looking wood there Jimmy.
If you have the gear you might want to think about raising the log at the start of the cut as it means less pushing on the mill.

I will end up tipping the trailer up for the next cut. Didn't push too hard...fed quite well actually. There was some slight up non of today but with rollers under the log... I was nervous to go too high. Rollers are a must in case I must off load and use the trailer as I don't have any fork lift or loader around.

Got a few more minutes last night. Tried out the mini mill I was given. Getting closer to making lumber! I had to knock the sides off as the log is bigger than my Alaskan can handle.

Looks like you're almost ready to put the alaskan on it.

How Are you liking the mini-mill? I have one coming in along with a 36" Alaskan. Just wondering how well it will hold a square 90º corner?

This is a home made mini mill and it mounts the bar with rubber pads. It was with in a 1/16 in 12" on that cut. I call it good for rough cut timber. Mini mill is a needed companion with an Alaskan.
