I want to see the mills of 2010, post them up...

[jimdad07]

Whether they are homemade or store bought let's see 'em. From what I have read on here over the last year there have been some good ones.

View attachment 162445


also getting by with a BobL style shop made cant hook and a couple sets of "log horses" (second pic) I copied from someone on this site.

over the winter i'm trying to come up with a simple design for a shop made mini mill with the saw bar running vertically to help with quarter sawing and edging.

looking forward to seeing some of the homebrew mills on here.

Looks great guys. I tried to post mine up but we have been having computer issues, I am just putting a new computer in today and testing it out. When I am done with the setup, I will post pics later.

[simple 880 set up

Is that a set of mill wheels in the background ?

Here's my new one as of early October. It has a bolt on axle (not shown) and bed extension. Since the picture I have welded on RV jacks to the corners for leveling & stabilizing so I don't have to remove the axle and so it's easy when I do remove the axle. I'm loving it.

Here is the one I made last spring.

You guys arent helping me. Thoughts of selling the 880 were going through my head, but now I want to fix it and make a CSM. Really would like a bandsaw or ol circle mill, but the CSM would be cheaper initially.

I could justify it by saying I can make fresh cants for GTGs

Would you sell one of your kids if they had a broken leg? No, you wouldn't, that would be wrong. Try the milling, before you know it you won't be able to stop. It's just as bad as CAD.

here is the one I use. Not the best one but still a fun way to get covered in sawdust.

It's been a great mill, it just keeps on, keeping on! lol

My Son In Law "T"'s Mill

Seen here milling some Cottonwood cants prior to the 2010 PNW GTG.
He's been milling a lot of wood with that mill. Selling some and storing some for a remodel......Bob

Here is a link to the thread on the mill I made this year, I did not get a chance to use it before the snow came. I will post up pics of it in action in the spring.

And a pic of it.

I jsut built this but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. My 372XP will go on it.

 

[polardoo]

Very nice!

 

[BobL]

Very nice!

I agree, it looks like a railomatic clone?

It is, thanks to him and you! (I hope that's OK Rail)

You helped me Bob when I asked what Rail's "knobs" were. Maybe you even re-posted his pics? That was great.

The rails are actually from an overhead track system for a photography studio lighting system being scrapped out at work some time back. Spent some time pondering a rail system before I even remembered I had them! They seem too ideal..

I have a couple of dimension questions regarding the WoodBug Mill in another thread too for anybody that is familiar with them. I want to make one for myself. Chime in over there anybody, I need the help!

Never milled before. But I do have a 372XP at least. For this railmill, I have a 24 inch bar and 2 loops of ripping chain (10 deg top angle). I'll start here. Going to read up on sharpening

Can't wait to try this stuff out.

Great forum! Thanks all...
