Today's milling

Recommended Posts

Stood at the Major Oak Woodland Festival, Sherwood Forest at the weekend.

Unusually high number of idiots in the visitors this year but as I was behind a fence well away from them if they looked to be about to ask something stupid I'd start the mill, hence was able to do a fair bit of milling Sycamore, Sweet Chestnut and some of the Sweet Chestnut burr I harvested earlier in the year.

Looks like with the amount of wood you mill you could do with a bandsaw mill. [emoji106]

Hmmm that has been suggested...
The only issue I have is the nails.
I cut through them with the chainsaw mills, but a band would blunt or snap.
And I cut a lot of nails[emoji51]
One day though....

Yeah the blade would blunten but shouldn't snap so can be reshaped etc nails also kills chains don't they? But would still be well worth it in terms off milling speed and reduce wastage in sawdust = more wood.

Yeah mine's not bad thankyou it will cut 23.5" so not too bad but I can mill bigger logs then that I just slice the bark and sapwood off both sides if need be. It will be much improved once I build a track then I'll have the best of both mobile and track at home.
