after the early set back of nails, we eventually produced 104 x 9ft 6x2 oak beams/rails,,,,theres some more oak not pictured,

a good day in the rain,,and a couple of m3 of firewood in the offcuts,,,

(there was some rot in the butts but plenty of good stable oak)

nice butts.any idea why the mill is set up with the winches on opposite sides?

I've never seen any other lucas mill set that way

Good to meet you again Clive and see you impressive set up.

Those 4th diam logs are what the Lucas mill likes best but as we found it hates nails.

I put the winches at opposed corners as the stays work better in compression pushing into the ground especially as we were on concrete and they were only screwed to a couple of big rings.
