No set up yet
Woodshop, You ask about pics of my set up, well I don't
have a set up yet, but here is 2 pics of my saws and my
first real try at milling, This old oak has been dead for about
10 years, So I cut it down, Thought it (wood) be a good one to
practice on. The log is from just above the crotch, about
20 feet up, the bark and most of the sap wood is gone.
It is 16" dia. 56" long and still very solid. I cut some 2 1/4"
thick slabs. Is this what you (wood) call 9/4 or 9 quarter.
I'm glad you guys talked me into the 36" mill. I will need it
for the trunk of this tree, its about 29" dia., with out the
bark & sap wood. The used 066, done pretty well if I let
it do its thing and not push it to hard. It is neat to cut a slab
then turn it over to see what it looks like, and a bonus my
wife thinks so to
Thanks, Gary
