Aggie, I thank you for the time posting pics. I am a few weeks away before Actually starting the project, but kinda wanted to get some more detailed pics than others I had seen.
I have a couple questions. On the your GB, how is the chain adjustment with the mill mount on the bar studs? That to me, would seem like a PITA. it also appears that you lose a ton of cutting length with that type of mount. Looks like a good 8 inches or so on just the powerhead.
Also, for the height adjustment in the cut, how is that adjusted?
I see the clamp on the end of your GB bar, but how does it attach? What I mean is, what keeps it tight?
I will probably make mine bolt to the bar, as i have a machine shop next door to me at work, The only issue I see with that, is lost length from the last 4-6 inches of the bar. So for that reason, I would like to make a clamp design, that would actually stay tight. lol.
I am thinking about a 36" mill. I know I could jut go out and buy one, but that would take half of the fun out of it. lol. It isn't like I already have too many things to do, but fabrication is one of my passions. Just got my logstand finished tonight out of scrap from the shop. It isn't the prettiest, but will work well. The steel didn't cost me a dime, so all I have in it is a little time.
Thanks again,
-Steve
