thanjks guys,

 

pretty much along the lines i was thinking. they will be looking for i would of though 4x4"7ft posts as they are looing for general purpose material for whatever and making arbors around the garden.

trunk quantity unknown as of yet, trunk quality should be high as they are woodland oaks, essentialy thinnings i suppose of 20"+.

that lump of oak u would mill that in half a day mate

if u was just starting in milling and took ur time over learning u would do it in a day little things u learn like

if u have more than 1 trunk to mill take the first cut off every trunk u have to mill saves to setting the depth up 2-3-4 time etc

if the customer wants 2-3and 4 inch bords etc and u have 3 trunks say run a 2 inch cut on all 3 trunks the same with 3inch and 4 inch bords hope that make sence

just saves time setting the depths

before u get to site try work out what size bar u will need and put the mill together when ur at home for some reasion it always seems quicker at home than on site

u got a mini mill big beach if ur putting wood into 4x4 posts instead of moving the 2ft-3ft slabs just move the slabs of wood 5-6 inchs of the trunk wood and rip the mini mill down it saves with the heavy lifting and u have a 4x4 post straight away for lifting

chainsaw milling can be a hard game so try to make it easy on ur body why u cant

yeh got the mini, just awaiting a straight edge and she`s ready.
