I started reading info on this site about 12 months ago. Bought a decent saw
(don't laugh)and got to it. I built a homemade alaskan style mill and mounted
it to a Poulan Pro 375 w/ a 24" bar. Bought a ripping chain from Bailey's and
started first on a maple which was about 14". Then ripped a 14" White Oak
and made a nice 6x6 -12' beam for my sons swing set. This past week I cut
down a nice red cedar ( wrapped in Poison Oak - I paying for that ) about
22" in diameter. I didn't get any pictures of the tree or milling pictures. I'll
try to get some soon. But I did take a few pictures of some boards I milled
up with my small setup. And my homemade alaskan mill/saw. I also included
a picture of what I've done with some milled red cedar. I didn't mill the cedar
for the chair but I have to repay a guy with some of the lumber I am milling.
It's kind of the same thing. So here it is. I would like to say, Thanks to all
of you and this website. I wouldn't have been able to do this without this
info. Thanks. I always enjoy looking at the posts here. Later,
