Today's milling

[Rough Hewn]

Been flat out over the last three days milling Oak up to 16 ft long and 28'' wide max x 2'' t  for a client. There are some more boards and some mantles the other side of the stack. All done with the Alaskan. One very very happy customer.

That bloody good going mate,
Must have been long days.

I would have three or four logs out ready take off the first cut from them all in one go set the mill to 2'' and just keep cutting amazing how much you can mill like this. No tea breaks or lunch hour quick slurp and a bite when sharpening and a saw refuel. It helped keeping most @ 2'' thick so not wasting to much time adjusting the mill as still have the older style Alaskan. Running the 660 with the 36'' low pro setup. Not all days are like it and when it's not i do say to myself why.

Just pleased that i re fitted the winch kit the night before. Just a quick tickle with the file from time to time. A few choc bars and fizzy drinks works fine for this 52 year old boy. 

52! Thats bloody impressive. Ive be bent double for a week after that lot! I hope you where suitably compensated?

Got into a nice log this morning. Some nice Birdseye on outer edges, and beautiful tight vertical grain goodness near the pith. Closeup pics of the vertical grain are 1"x7" boards, to give you an idea of the tightness of this grain. Some beautiful old stuff for sure!

Awesome! Always fun with a project.

 

I have a second Charger that needs full resto as well.  

 

Anyway, back on track,  before I left I milled some Yew. Heavy bloody stuff. No idea what I'll do with it, but its there anyway. 

Good shop sign that would make! K

Only had an hour or so to test cut, but it's so quick and easy.
My apologies as I can't video edit.
