Arkansas Oklahoma Missouri GTG.....Who's game?

[ddhlakebound]

Anyone going have a mill? I have always wanted to see and try one.

I picked up a Granberg csm and mini mill off craigslist that I'm planning on bringing, but they're not exactly dialed in yet. I've got rails, but no good adjustable way to attach my scrap aluminum rails to the cross supports.

Also my old aluminum doorframe rails aren't as long as I'd like, only 8', so no overlap for starting and finishing cuts on an 8' log.

Hopefully it'll be all set by then.

Trow ya on a alum ladder and some angle iron,,and and clamp on the ladder,,and pre drill your angle iron..Or second,,as i did my mini mill at the last GTG Erick had,,grab up a couple of 8 or 10 inch cants that been cut off,,drill some over sized holes tru your cant a little bigger than your drywall screws for a guide,,Place your guide board over the log,,and butt up the cants to it and raise it just off the log and scew you cants in each ends,,and then screw your guide board to the top of the cants...That worked really good..

LOL, I completely understand that. Every saw I have picked up lately, something breaks, so I have to find what I need, then by then I have moved onto something else.
And so on, and so forth.

Good deal and thank you for you're participation. I know what ropes busy doing now, he better be shooting that bow out of a boat though.lol

 

[Work Saw Collector]

Getting closer everyday!

I do know I am excited about it!

I know everyone is busy these days but anyone reading this, if your within a decent driving distance of this GTG it looks to be a good one.

I have 23 for sure names and 9 more possibles.

Freehand are you going to have that 088 found before we get there? I have been hunting but no luck yet.

Yeah it will limit expense that way day or two before and then the skid can push it away after the event. It is economy for me but a few jobs finally I hope we have a Ice storm 3 days after the event lmao
