Rack setup

[Big Beech]

These rackings are able to hold 2 tonnes, if you fancy putting a large log on board ?

That Oak log is 7ft x 16", I doubt aluminium would hold up well.

Just uploading a YouTube video!

 Nothing worse. Added to the pain is the frustration of not being able to do anything. 

 

Ive got a drawer full of Morphine if you need any.

That would be nice Andy, thank you!

Only negative is the change of height after every cut.

Would it be possible/easier to raise the log somehow?

 

I've tried a similar setup but on a much smaller scale for milling a few alder logs I can managed to lift. I've just used old fence posts for the frame and after the top cut I use 4x2s to lift the log up 2".

Possible I suppose in theory, though on moving the timber would most likely move the levels around.

Its not ideal, but it is what it is!

These lumps of Burr Oak, are the remains of the big Burr Oak i felled 5 years ago, some of you may recall the original post!

I managed to extract them today as the terrain was dry enough, and I cant wait to see the boards they will yield!!

Oh and I'd totally forgotten about the 5" quater sawn beams i left behind as I couldn't move them at the time. Just make them out at the back ?
