Monday milling

[John Hughes]

I spent a great monday morning in the winter sunshine milling 3 oak butts in woodland near Rayleigh.

 

 

 

 

And one I made earlier.

 

 

 

The oak for this window was felled less than a mile from the thatched cottage it is destined for.

Looks good - how long would you say it takes to set up the Lucas in a place like that?

I will always remember the stick I got from mr delabodge and his crew when I set up in a back garden in Reading. They had watched the Lucas promotional video on which it said the mill could be set up in ten minutes.

Realistically if the pickup can be parked next to the mill then about 20 minutes to put the mill up and then a few more to line up the log with the rails.

About right I reckon - I think the Peterson takes around the same time to get set up.... can be fiddly getting it out the trailer as I tend to leave the blade on to save time - this leaves only a cm or so clearance but has worked fine so far....

like ya winda frame, and like it was made just down the road from the cottage its going to.
