New mill

[Ilnumero]

Yaay, finally bought a bandsaw mill after selling some of my current hobby and lots of saving up. Looking forward to making some sawdust.

he told you "a bandsaw mill" :lol:

Yes, sorry Big J, it's a Lumbermate 2000, a 1000 mile round trip, bought from up your way (my native land too) near Kilmarnock.

 

Its got one 4' extension so can cut 17'. I have made exact copies of the trailer package, levelling feet, log loading kit and quick log dogs. I'm an engineer so easy enough to fabricate these items.

 

The first job is to make its own shed but the ground is so sodden here I can't get anywhere near where its going. Last week I ended up with the Shogun and trailer stuck in the mud, tried pulling them out with a 35, then a DB990, all coupled together, finally got them all out with a tow from a DB 1210 on a bit of firmer ground. Took two hours, caked in mud.
