Weekend milling

[aggiewoodbutchr]

Here's a few pics of what my Father, Brother and I did Saturday. We tried to use my Dad's new (to him) 66" Alaskan mill and 084 but the saw has some issues that need to be sorted out. However, mine ran well and we got some work done.

After everyone left, I wanted to try the new depth capacity of my modified mill. It worked great.

Ghost milling.

Yep, it's milling all by itself.





...then the camera died.

Yep, it's milling all by itself...

Join the club aggie... except for my Dad (he's 80, but still swings a saw) it's hard to find folks who want to spend a long dirty day just helping out humping boards and equipment. Most I know that might are woodworker types, and then of course it's only right they go home with some of the lumber.

Well... if I ever need 16/4 slabs, I know where to come.

Love the auto mill!

If for whatever reason I can't be milling myself the next best thing is looking at Aggie's milling pics.

great photography and work!

so did the saw just keep cutting because of gravity???(forgive me but i dont do any milling, but love to see it...)

do you have any other saws besides that gigantic 084 and the little one(cant remember what model)????

Yep, gravity feed.

Saws- -084, 066, 044, 034, cs346.

My Dad has caught a serious case of CAD since the last GTG. He went from 2 saws to 6 (2- 084's, 2- 041's, 038 and 028).
