First Mini-Mill Cuts (thanks other owners)

[AaronB]

Here are some shots of me using the MM for the first time, just wanted to say thanks to all the other MM (or Beam Mill) owners for their help and advice on using it.

This is the set up. This was half the log that we were actually able to drag back over to the house.

Picture with the cut partially done.

Here is the log in half, I didn't set the depth deep enough so I had to cut the last 2 or so inches by hand, but it still came out fine.

Now here are the half logs that we didn't drag and just left in the field, made sure the depth was deep enough on all these

Here is what I am after, the fleck, will quarter saw these up on the ProCut when I get back down.

Here is the tree this came from and the 42" bar barely went through it, the logs were just to big for us to handle but that's another thread, I have pics to post of it, here is one. I didn't use the MM to cut this log in half, didn't think of it in time, or ask about it on the forum soon enough, so I freehanded it, never gonna do that again.

Actually its White Oak, why its so red I don't know but once it's been exposed to the air it changes. The other pieces I cut all did that.

good job. but i think your stuck freehanding when you buck. ive never seen anyone use a mini mill for cross cutting.
