Portable personal size sawmill, call me Saw-Mill Don!

You make me miss my skidloader, think I once told you that you need one....

I think it was more than once, and you're right he does.

It is scheduled to be delivered on Monday!

Yippee!

Missed some of the updates on this thread- for log pilings for your building a water level can work great.....just a clear tube filled with water anchored at each end shows you exactly where level is so you can find the right spot on the pilings.

If you haven't used one here's a pretty good explanation. I'm going this route to do some trenching for water drainage in the yard....if the darn snow ever goes away....

Simple, cheap and accurate. That's a win, win, win in my book.

Heck, I was hoping for pics,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Oh fine.....go all high tech and stuff. ....I tried to help....don't blame me when the batt'ries go out and yur building is upside down....

Cool....that'll do the trick!

I watched the water level used on a couple tree house vids. Simple, you can see it in the daylight and it can go around corners.

Well, it's here!

I have a pallet weighing in somewhere around 1100 lbs (I think)

It is still plastic wrapped, as I am cleaning the garage work space and making some space on the work bench to lay things out.

Should get knee deep into the assembly tomorrow

Cleaning the garage? Never heard of that. Last night I saw the top of my table!!!!!

Why not build it where you use it?

Cleaning the garage? Never heard of that. Last night I saw the top of my table!!!!!

Why not build it where you use it?

Several reasons

1. Building out in the weather

2. It is important to build it square which starts with a level surface (Garage floor)

3. I have all the tools I need in my garage

4. I can assemble and test run it in a warm/dry environment and work out the bugs

5. The pier/Rails that will serve as the mills mount are not installed at the moment due to all the rain we have been getting
so
I'd have to wait on all that business prior to starting if I assembled down there

[Sammconn]

Suggestion, maybe build it on the trailer?
Would still accomplish the above, and is then ready to slide onto the posts once installed.

You may not be able to get the extensions on, but the main unit would surely fit.

I'll build it in the garage, then use the new pallet forks to set it onto the trailer

I seriously can't believe it took me all day until after 1830 to get that garage properly cleaned!!!!!!

It needed a deep cleaning, there was dead bugs, cobwebs, dust, dirt, mud-dubbers, cat food, someone's cheeseburger, and a bunch of rusty metal bits. I filled up a large trash can and half of another with junk.

The only real way to get the thing respectable was to haul everything out into the driveway, and pressure wash it

[Flyin6]

Found those welding tables beneath a bunch of torched particle board I had been welding on!

I sprayed everything, even the electric fan! Let you know if it still runs tomorrow after it dries out 

[Flyin6]

^^^Givin' it the old so-so wave up there

I think I have things ready to get in on some sawmill assembly with mods, of course, and maybe a thing or two on Squareness as well

Phone took a blast, didn't notice it scootin' across the floor. It still works!

[Flyin6]

I'll start a whole new thread on the sawmill build up and installation down at the hide...This thread, like most around here is already too junked up!
