hi so i've been milling red and yellow cedar for a little while now and enjoy it thoroughly. when i wipe off the saw dust to make another cut it often gets a little bit too involved, and i usually still smell every board.
anyway, i could use your help. my friend wants to build a shelter for his portable band mill. he wants to span the entire 30 foot length of it with a spruce timber so that there is no middle support post to get in the way of removing timber from the mill. since he can only cut 20 foot logs, he asked me to mill that spruce beam for him. heres the pitch:
how should i set up a guide for milling a 30 foot timber ?? also, does anybody have anything to say about milling spruce compared to cedar that i should be aware of ?? any help will be rewarded with nothing but the self satisfied feeling of helping a brother in need, thanks !
