James felt sorry for me (their has been alot of that here lately) & sent a sawbuck that we built home with me. I figured I'd load test it. 20"+ whiteoak 10 ft long. I just had a lil tension on it till I felt it wasn't gonna do the splits on me. It's holdin just fine.

Greetings from Neosho, MO

I'm new to this forum, but am enjoying this thread. I thought I knew a lot of the interesting folks around here, but I can see I've been missing out! I'm coming in from a forestry/sawmill background. I also do a little writing for Sawmill & Woodlot Management magazine. Stumpy, bring that white oak toothpick on over and I'll saw some boards out of it-- or maybe I could just bring the sawmill up for the GTG.

Good morning and welcome to AS! Great place to be. And yes, you can bring the mill to the GTG. That would be awesome!!:rock:

Looking at that design I would think something like that could be made out of good used oilfield pipe with an adjustable angle, it would be heavy but would be strong
 
Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the welcome. Sure, I'll bring the mill to the GTG. Hedgerow, I love to cut hedge, when I can find it. That one you're standing next to in your picture will do nicely. Bring it on!

Good to see that you made the leap and posted Dave! Looking forward to meeting you and seeing your mill in action.

Now if we could also have Freehand there hand slabbing one and John T milling one with the monster chainsaw :rock:

2x4 across the two legs, down on the ground. To keep it from doin splits.

That would eliminate the fold up design. they cant do the splits as long as that 2x4 that is holding the two sets of legs doesn't pull off we put 3 inch screws in them.

I was unaware of the fold up design.
