Hi all, I have setup my LT70 under a 24x40 shelter, with 16' lean-to sides coming for 3 sides in the spring for additional room. The way I have the shack setup worked perfect for my LT40, but I find the board drag back isn't being utilized when cutting anything over 8'. Most commonly I am sawing 16' material. Read More

Hi folks

Had to replace the 172 gasser in my TJ200 this past fall. I dont want to talk about why!

Got a nice donor from a ford tractor and swapped it in without issue. Now the clutch is giving me grief. Wont disengage even with proper adjustment.

I see via the inspection cover that the bearing carrier is sloppily rotating around in there. I can move it back into position easily enough but want a proper fix.Read More

I started the original Whatcha Sawin' ?? topic with this picture back in 2014. Wow, how many of our logs have become lumber and sawdust in the past 10 years??

I already have 10 firm sawing jobs in the "schedule book" for 2025. Those plus the usual "tire kicking" jobs that result in maybe 25% actually...

I need to produce thinly cut pine and incense cedar. It will be used in a laser engraver and cutter that is limited to 1/4" or thinner thickness. Typical logs are 9' long and 18" diameter.

Cutting-- any suggestions on sawmill operation for thin stock? Blade type, sawing speed, cut method, etc? 6-8" width is plenty.Read More
