finally bought a sawmill...

See how those clamp handles extend into the pathway of the milling head roller? We keep forgetting to not let ours hang over like that...when we push the head back...wack! It messes up the sawdust brush thing-a-ma-giggy.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy ours...it's a well made piece of equipment.

After I had the head on I noticed that too, but figured it wouldn't be an issue with a log on there..... soon I hope!

Looks like I'll have to wait 'til Friday to finish it up, after working all day and the heat, I'm too pooped to pop!

PS Thanks for the encouragement, I'm really looking forwrd to using it!

WOO HOO.... :blob4:

Got it all put together yesterday morning, except for the power feed, and the temp forced me to finish up later on in the evening. Got back out later and cleaned up the area and I grabbed a small oak log off the top of the pile. It was a curved log, but what the heck.... :hmm3grin2orange:

It was already humid and getting late, I'll sort throught the pile today to check it all out. :drool:

Later....

I cut the rest of that board up and cleaned up what I had to figure out what I had.
I'm still trying to get the thickness to be consistant, I need more practice, that's for sure. That's why I'm using the small logs that I have first.

Later,
Ted
