New Sawyer to the board

creekrunner · August 23, 2014, 06:19:22 AM

Hello all, I have been browsing the board for a while and have learned a lot from you all. I have been sawing for about a year under a great mentor in my area on his LT 50 and decided to partner up with him and catch all the business he doesn't because he has made his mill stationary. So I bought and old 1984 LT 30 from a board member on here and have been sawing for myself for a couple months. Now I have decided to upgrade to the LT35HDG25 to save my back and be able to increase my business. I appreciate this board and all the knowledge and sharing here! Hope to be more active on here. Thanks Creekrunner

creekrunner,welcome. When will you get the LT35HDG25?

Darrel · August 23, 2014, 02:04:30 PM

Welcome creekrunner! I too have learned much here on FF and am chomping at the bit to put that knowledge to use. I may get to make my first pile of sawdust next week. Again, welcome!

Welcome Creekrunner.
I had never even seen a mill run when I bought my LT15. This forum was my main source of info.

To answer your question THECFARM, I hope to have it by sept 9th. It will be nice to not have to break a back as often..

welcome creekrunner,
With all the "bad back" comments in here I am guessing I will wait some and pay more for a hydraulic mill.

Welcome, they sure taught me alot.

drobertson · August 24, 2014, 04:26:49 PM

Hydraulics are handy for sure, there are some pretty inventive schemes that folks with manuals have made to ease the burden, but hydraulics pretty much solves that issue. Welcome,

Welcome. Good to have another NC sawyer.

Welcome Creekrunner! Sounds like you might have visited Joe and Crew in Albemarle.

Lots of luck to you with the new mill and enjoy!

Welcome! After growing up sawing with a circular mill, hydraulics are the only way to go if sawing outside of a "small hobby".
