I tricked my kids into putting a log on the mill for me, man I have to get the tractor back. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

Here is some milling footage from last night. This log was holding all kinds of great grain. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

Just a short video on sticker stacking milled lumber. I've been quiet on this board for quite some time but I'm going try to start popping in again, hopefully this weekend I'll have some black walnut milled up and posted. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

I haven't posted here in awhile but I thought some of you would enjoy this. This is a big black walnut I took down over the weekend and she was a dangerous one. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

I have one of my YouTube viewers a few miles from there who has a tree he needs down. He can't afford a tree service and he has become quite disabled due to construction and major back issues. He's on a fixed income and went back to school at 50+ years old. Just wondering if any of you boys...

I hope this is the last time for awhile, I really dislike moving this thing. Put it back in the barn for a few years at least. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

In the process of cleaning up around my barn project so I can continue the barn work and am milling up the odds and ends of short logs that I just couldn't throw in the woodstove. Not a how-to video but you guys might like it. Not sure if I like the music but I was afraid the slow stuff was...

Well, it's not a wood burner but I wish I had built it years ago. I took an old wood stove I had and turned it into a waste oil burner. It took about three hours to start to running and I couldn't be more impressed with it. I ran it for 14 hours strait yesterday and only used 4 gallons of...

Thought you guys might like this, this is a small end table I'm working on right now. I have three more to build. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

Well I finally bought a band mill last year for a barn I decided to build. The building is 28'x50', two stories. Doing the mortice and tennon along with white ash pegs. I've been chipping away at it for about a year and I'm finally putting it up. I'm doing this project alone so the progress...

I've been too busy the last couple of years to work on saws much, the last saw I built is in NC with JimmyinNC, a Hooskie 268xp I did a couple of years ago. Well I've been making up for lost time going through projects I forgot I had. Been having a blast doing it to. Here are some of the saws...

Been quite some time since I've been in here, but how are all the chainsaw sawyers doing these days? Timberframed still hanging out in here?

Made my third one today, I think this one will be a keeper. Came across a scrap pile of the aluminum at a paper mill today, the bonus was that somebody was kind enough to put all the hardware from what was taken apart right with the stuff. Asked the maintenance guy on duty what they were doing...

Haven't done much milling in a long time, the carriage mill hasn't worked out as well as I wanted it to so it's back to the Alaskan. I almost have what I need to build a band saw mill, that will be nice. I plan to make it stationary and use the Alaskan on the road so to speak. Just got this...

Figured maybe it would be a good idea for a thread of gas stations in our respective areas that have non-ethanol grades of gas. Not looking for a thread on the effects of ethanol, just a spot to share info on the places you can buy it ethanol free. My area in upstate NY in the Watertown area...

I haven't been around much this summer on the site except for the thread I normally hang out in in the saw forum. Anyhow I finally built the new shop that I have been threatening to do for the last couple of years. I milled a lot of the lumber and bought a lot from the Amish around me as a...

Finally started building my new shop. I am using a mix of wood I have milled and wood that I am getting from the Amish. I am building this first section to put all of my tools into out of the old shop so that I can tear the old one down, the new one will be sitting right over it. That last...

Finally getting to run the carriage mill some more, always about a thousand other things to do it seems. Here are a few pics of a recent project and a little maple log I had on the mill today. The log I have let sit out for about three years in a wet spot and the spalting result was pretty...

My milling saw just went up for the second time, that saw has been cursed from day one out of the box. Thank God it is still under warranty, that's a different topic altogether. I am seriously considering building a band mill and I need suggestions as to design and materials. If you can't...

Hi guys. I have had a few of you want to see closeups of how I made the carriage mill work. It is very simple and please feel free to poke at the poor welding. The 110v mig I was using did not like to weld the galvinized unistrut very well and they did not turn out very well. I also made...
