Just a thanks to all you guys, for the pics and and links!
I do a lot of lurking here for my homemade mill and for my CSM'S.

Had a great day on my mill! It never did what I hoped it would do till I got around you guys! Couldn't have done what I did today with out your guys pics and explanations!

It is dark now, but will posts pics in the morning!

I milled up a couple nice pieces of cedar! They were 80yrs old in pole form.
The bride wanted a better homes and garden fence around the garden, so as any MAN would do with a mill, I jumped for the opportunity to spend a sanctioned day with the mill!!!

P.S.BobL has the best signature!!!

Did you work off of any plans for that mill or did you come up with all the specifics yourself? I am interested in the tire/wheel size and motor/ power transmision and blade guide system. Could you show any closeup pictures and give more information or links to it? Much thanks.

For instance I was wondering what is the tire dia. and what is the rpm you are running it at? I have a 12hp motor I could use. You try to run it at a certain blade speed I take it?

Then there's the age old newbee question.......how do you keep the blade running true on the rubber tire?

Just got home from a 20hr shift(freakin tornadoes) came through and work came a calling!
So I will be working 16+hours till the mess is cleaned up!

[Teddy.Scout]

they called him back in to work a few hours ago

They(work) killed me this week!
I always said it was nice not to like in tornado alley! Well last week I did! LOL!
2 small tornadoes and a half dozen micro burst just tore down the towns east and west of me! I ended up up pulling a couple 20+ hr shifts and the rest 16hr. shifts! Man when it rains it pours!!!

Well that 89hr week is over, and it is time to get back to the homestead!!!

Here is a couple pics of a prefinished project! (The bride helped me through the whole assemble, that is why I married her!!!!!!!)
Wife calls it the OKAY GARDEN CORRAL!!!! LOL!!!
Nothing like building a fence with 3X6's and 2X10's!!!
So next time your power is out, at least offer the lineman coffee! PLEASE!!!!!!!

Sounds like you had a rough time Matt. Be careful out there when you aint been sleeping. I think I already mentioned my Grandpa to ya.

That Garden Fence looks AWESOME!!!. I got to build me one. I noticed deer tracks thru mine yesterday.

 

[betterbuilt]

I thought all linemen had a pet rookie to make fun of and to fetch coffee. If you were working here I would have got ya coffee and a danish.
The fence looks good. Its nice to see those poles get get a second life. You should call it The electric fence. .

 

[jdrum]

don't cut the posts off yet! if the garden dosent work out, you got a good start on a saw shed. all jokes aside looks good.

I here ya! I have been spending alot of time getting organized, kinda let the saws just take over, and realize the key is organization! But I learned, and as it comes together I will be hopefully expanding here soon.


Thanks GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!
