Here is a cool homemade mill.
I have a couple milling vids on my channel but they aren't very good. Maybe someday I'll make some more/better, now that I'm starting to learn more about it all.
I'm part owner of a Mobil Dimension mill, my son owns a real nice Woodmizer, and I do a lot of chainsaws milling, they all have their place. I think I like the product of the chainsaw mill the most! I posted pics of a deck I built from wood all cut with chainsaws in another thread, it surprised me at how it came out and has stood the test of time, been through 5 yrs of use and abuse so far and needs a renew on the finish, but I still have the original 5 gal. can with about 2 gal. left over.My wife said last night “I don’t know how you can stand to keep watching these videos”. I pointed out that 270k others watched it too!! I chainsaw mill personally but thoroughly enjoy bandsaw and circle mills. You know, milling got me through my winter depression that I’d usually experience. After work I’d suit up, clean snow and ice off the logs, and run the chainsaw down a for a few slabs! Kept me going! Our residential home now looks like a sawmill and lumberyard but I’m learning a lot and it should become somewhat profitable in the next year or two. I’ve helped a few neighbors with their tree work and removed their unwanted logs. Our 4,6,and 8 year olds have become experienced with a hatchet and driving the large lawn tractor (with daddy next to them of course) The youngest even enjoys a good milling video!
Cedar, deck, red fir beams, black oak stairs.the rails double as seating, live edge on the sides of the deck.Like father, like son. Love the stairs and live edge rails! What type/s of wood?
Nope, we're in Northern Calif. Our mill was a wreck, sat for years rusting away, spent a year getting it up and running. The company no longer makes these mills, but they still carry a complete line of parts, and customer service is the best I've ever seen. They're located in Troutdale ,Oregon, and 2 day delivery is their standard!Grizz, is this your mill? He said he’s partners in it
