3rd milling(pine 6x6)

[danieltree]

Ok I had to earn my mill today. I told my wife that I needed some long beams to get the upholstery shop built so that is why i needed the Alaskan. You know pay for itself and all that good stuff. Well work is super slow right now and its so wet couldn't do the jobs I do have so I did this . Learned some stuff in the process. First thing I learned is that I need a cant hook, 2nd thing is that I want the granberg mini mill.​

Thanks for the pics.

Maybe Santa will bring a Log Rite cant-hook or peavy ?

How long is the beam ?

 

[danieltree]

25 feet​

looks good. why a 25" ? i asume your going to support it somehow,cause 25" pine unsupported = snap.

They will be bolted to the top of a 20 ft cargo container, only about 4 ft will be unsuported. I want to build heavy due to hurricanes.​

I'd think a 25 inch piece of pine would be pretty strong.

I believe he said 25 "foot" long and 6x6....but your right, when dry will be strong

Looks like you have some nice equipment there but your trailer is a little short, just teasin'. Those are some long ones.

I know that what the OP said. Look at what I quoted. Some folks think " means foot, not inch. I just always assume people can smell the sarcasm in most of my posts. You mean I have to start using these :jester: stupid things?

NO....don't use them.

I've done the inch/foot mistake before (use meters up here eh)...it's the same key on my keyboard. Easy to forget the shift key. Or of course...not know the difference.
