want to build a logosol anyone do this with pics ideas

[pa.hunter]

well i have around 35 logs cut waiting on better weather before i pull them out . i use snatch block and a 400 suzuki to pull logs up over steep ground takes time but works with ease with snatch block . i am building another piece for my tablesaw to turn out some log furniture i will get pics up here in a while its works pretty slick for making log furniture . got a couple big logs i think i will be pulling with 3930 soon as ground dries . more pics to come .

Yes I have come across a chainsaw mill like that. Had a funny from memory. The advantage is single point height adjustment and not having to lift the log for each cut. Just like the logosol it has its pro's and con's

magnetic nose clamp
self-adjusting auto feed speeds
auto-stop

Perhaps a few more ways to easily and safely load/position/turn the log once on the mill.

Found a youtube video:

Please don't be offended by me saying this, but you need to make some changes in your air drying stack.

It would be good if you get that stack up off the ground further, like on (4) 6x6's on cement blocks. Then get your stickers over and lined up with the timbers under the stack.

If you do those things, your chances will increase greatly, of ending up with much better lumber...

Your picts are great, thanks for posting them!
