My sawmill is on the highest point on the heads of the valleys in south wales and try working with the roller shutter doors open,It just blasts across from the brecon beacons straight as the mill and the sas train there so i must be tough. ?

You need to put diagonal braces in from lock side to bottom hinge as mentioned,you can keep to a ledge and brace style for the garage doors to but use at least 3 hinges for those doors when hung.

Dean i am only half hour away with a saw mill up on the heads of the valley and sympathize with you,I only use sub contractors for my carpentry and joinery side as no need to fully employ someone,We have a few local firms who employ direct but the wages tend to be quite low compared to a contract jobs,May be worth putting an advert in the local rag as tends to get good response around south wales,I will ask around for you cheers les.

Is it worth me buying a Lumbermate to use on spruce & ash
topchippyles replied to AndyChalmers's topic in Milling Forum
I have a woodlands mill with the same set up,If you have the money available and timber you are going to need free at point of use then its a no-brainer not to buy the saw,I would recommend asking your mate to run you though using it first for a couple of hours to make sure you can operate it. -
