Guys,
I am milling a few logs each winter with an Alaskan for my hobby woodshop. I find that manipulating the logs is the largest part of the job, so I wonder whether one couldn't make that much easier using a "log scaffolding" with two large logs on the side of a sloped hill? That way I could keep the logs to be milled some 24" above ground and I could prepare some wooden dogs for quartersawing positions. I could also roll new logs to the milling position fairly easily.
Let me know if I am not explaining it clearly enough and I will make a sketch.
Has anybody done something similar and would he (or she ) be prepared to show us a photo of the arrangement?
Thanks
Tom
