Sap must be a glutton for punishment. He's his own worst enemy,thats for sure. When so many different people tell him the same thing,and try to help him,and he just spits on the advice and guidance he's given it makes it hard to even take him seriously.
I don't know anything about milling. Other than rough cutting some cedar fence posts with a Beam Machine I wouldn't even know where or how to begin. With that thought in mind I"d sure be willing to listen to and take the advice of the people here who know what they're doing. Sure theres some disagreement among sawyers buts thats to be expected and even that can be a source of good information.
Everyone here has,at one time or another,tried to help him. He doesn't avail himself of the help offered.
If he wants to go back to square one and just ask a question and thank the responder for their help and build his information and skill sets and ask more and learn more he could still get the kind of help he needs. If he persists in antagonizing the very people who could help him the most...well, I wouldn't pour water on him if his guts were on fire.
