Thans Hank! I have to spread some around before I can hit you back.
Good work
How did you start the log and what sort of wood is that?

Thanks for sharing. Nice pics. I've had my mill completed for a month or two and have yet to do any milling for fun/myself. Hopefully I'll have something to post soon.

Everthing in the world hit me everytime I would try to start...Even this A.M.we got 4 inchs of rain and flooded the craw space but press on nothing was going to stop me today....(had a kidney stone last week)

This has nothing to do with milling but kidney stones run in my family also. I had one when I was 27 yrs. old. I was riding my motorcycle when it hit me. I got home as fast as I could and went into my back yard and crawled around on my hands and knees for a bit. Then I rolled around in the grass for a bit. Then I got up and went in for several hours before going to the E.R. I had no clue what it was but when I got to the E.R. the nurse took one look at me and said "Yep, you've got a kidney stone".

Nice pics too.
Nice pics too.
Thanks smokin, what I meant was how did you make the first cut - did you use rails, a ladder, or a guide board?

Doing good but those woodland pros where hard to get on there until I got them to strecth...The aux-oiler makes a big diffarnce. When just starting a cut you could tell when you got the extra oil going again...(great tip not drilling the bar by the way!) 880 just plowed through very well. Cant wait to go again!

That picture is why I don't like running the mini mill. It just seems like there is no good place to stand and get any kind of push on the saw. It is good for splitting a large log or making a log square but that is about it.
This is a pic of the last time I used mine about 2 years ago with the 60" bar.
Good job smokinj. Those area some nice looking boards and you are going to start to feel the addiction.
Keep the pics coming
