i do believe that there are people that use milling as their main business but they always have other things to keep them going too whether it be tree surgery or a firewood business.

 

i wish to be a miller in the future and save as many trees from being ringed up as i can but i would not do that on it's own as i don't think i'd make that much from it.

So far the logs I have milled, I have been ok with my chainsaw mill but you wouldn't have been able to get a larger machine near them,or move the log to it.My next one for milling is a beech,which is presently in the stream at the bottom of a farmers field.

You would defenatly need something else to keep you going! Don't tend to have people liineing up wanting mobile milling!

[Craiglr90]

It's as I thought really then would need to do milling and something else as well, I'm not planning on dropping my job to go and set up milling full time just to clear that up ha ha it's just something I would really like to get in to and oww the log in the stream sounds interesting would like to see some pics of how you deal with it , cheers all !

First off, you need to get it out of the stream....

Here is a few pictures,off what I build and cut up.

you have got to enjoy what you do,thats the main thing.

Hopefully the farm is going to drag the beech tree into the feild for me.
