I imagine some of the 'safety police' will love this one.....but it is what it is!  Grab a tasty beverage and enjoy!

Sweet!  Looks like you are getting every Penney out of that mill!  I see an upgrade in your blood!  :D

I wish I could justify an upgrade....but unless it was a straight-up trade with someone, I just don't see spending the extra monies.  I'm still doing this as a hobby, got a job...don't want another one.

Here's part 2:

Great video. Love watching stuff like that.
Did you ever pull off a blade backing it up without lifting the head a bit?
Where do you store your wood?
Have you  decided what your planning to build with the wood?
Thanks for sharing

Thanks, I'm not sure I like making the video stuff, but if someone likes it...well, that is good enough for me to keep doing them.


Did you ever pull off a blade backing it up without lifting the head a bit?

Nope, but I guess it could if I cut enough 'stress' out of the timber, and it 'rebounded' after I completed the cut?


Where do you store your wood?

I air dry just about everything I cut, so it is stickered all over the place in the backyard.  I'm running out of things to cover it with though.....eventually I need to 'make something' to put it under...but still air dry them.


Have you decided what your planning to build with the wood?

Yes.  I'll will be making a cedar post-n-beam structure for the mill.  At least that is the first thing I plan on building....  Been studying the construction blueprints from several places, and reading everything I can find about engineering limits and such about this design.  Plan on using at least 10"sq main beams for the uprights and then I can go from there on everything else(might be over-engineered, but I don't want to have to 'fix' things later)

The 'general' milling I do now is for blanks and want-not for the website.  And today I get to cut 4/4 boards for a local fella that made a 'drop off' of Eastern Red Cedar logs this past Wednesday morning.  It's only four logs but on a manual set-up....well it'll take me a little while.



Thanks for sharing

Your welcome!  Thank you for the question and comments.....




Woohoo!  Y'all are watching!!
