Guys
My first post and I hope I'm going about it the right way but any feedback on site protocol welcome.
I've been milling for a few years now using a Husky 385 and 24 inch alaskan type mill. I have the luxury of having a ready supply of cypress pine and iron bark trees on my farm as well as a tractor with front end loader and a truck. I make my own chains from bulk using Oregon skip tooth chain and sharpen them using an Oregon chain grinder.
I've uploaded 7 photos into an album under my user profile as per the instructions on the site but I've yet to work out how to put them into a post.
My original inspiration came from Will Malloff's book and I've now seen quite a few good ideas from posts on this site.
I won't ask questions until I've thoroughly researched the site but my main areas of interest are:
chain types particularly for Australian hardwoods like iron bark.
making the job easier - elevating the log, winches etc
Anyhow enough for the moment and I look forward to learning a lot from many of you.
