Today's milling

[Big Beech]

Nose bar support ordered, delivery tomorrow 🙌👌

Measurement markers realigned, and pulley restrung on the log lifter.

Tolerances checked on the carriage and all looks good.

Decent job for this time of year, 4 days in the dry on a nice level floor and a forklift to do most of the heavy lifting. Variety of hardwoods that the owner wanted milling rather than processing for firewood. Spent a bit of time fitting some decent LED lights recently which for not a lot of outlay have proven to be very handy. Last two pics are day 2 on the same job, cutting 1.1m wide slabs pretty much maxing out the mill.

Normally these idiosyncrasies annoy me to. (Too if I gave a ****************) 
 
I know you like a bevy on the weekend and so do I. Tonight I’m bedded with the wee ones as the missus is having a well earned nicht oot. 

Nice, thankfully your kids don’t look like you. That would be a terrible shame!🤣🤣

Pardon my ignorance but is that mobile?  Do you take it to the customers of do they bring the stems to you for milling?

 

thanks.

 

edit:  I’ve just seen the wheels 😜

Yes,much better.

The winch has been on for a while, just forgot to take the string with me.

Just need to carefully listen to the pitch of the engine to make sure your at optimum revs.
