Used bar joist work good for sawmill headers.
I have been on the lookout for one or 2
I might try building a warren truss.
I have been thinking about making a Warren Truss too. I have several 24' 2-1/2 sch 80 galvanized pipes I can use 2 of them for top and bottom cords!. Not sure what I should use for the webs though. It would likely be carrying 1/2 of a 12x24'  span 6/12 pitch 35psi snow load .

@Bindian here is an example of a green chain in a nice setup.
The green chain is the piece closest to the camera that is transferring the flitches and finished lumber to the edger

That is a neat setup.  How long did it take you to get that all dialed in?

pbs airing woodsmith shop, S12 ep1 on setting up a woodshop, space and tools, might be interesting although not exactly what you are doing.  I guess it is something to watch if you are off your feet.  can prob. get it on google ect.

Thanks Doc.  I will check it out.  Can't stay too long at the computer.  I try to prop my feet up, but just not comfortable.  What I need is a wireless connection to the new 65 inch TV with a wireless keyboard for the recliner!

it can be purchased on amazon, and is an interface so you can play a you tube video from your phone on any tv.  so I got one with a lighting to HDMI and can play my phone stuff on a tv.  they have many combos so you need to know that you want to play on the tv, and get the correct ends.  about 20 bucks.  i use it when I teach, "stop the bleed" courses cause I have the video on my phone, and can plug into a tv.

dongle.  the plug on the L plugs into my phone.  on the R upper is the HDMI, and the little slot on the R lower, is to plug a charger in as well if you want to simultaneously charge your phone.

I'm a little late to the party, but microsoft also makes a wireless adapter that plugs in to a TV that has HDMI (audio video out) and USB (power) connectors (about $50). You can turn your TV into and extended monitor from any compatible wireless device. I use mine to sit on the couch with my feet up watching sawmill videos on the TV (wirelessly connected to the laptop as a monitor) while reading about sawmills on my laptop screen.

The new 65 inch TV I bought has wireless on it.  Just gotta figure out the HDMI ports and how to switch it.  I have 3 sources with one being hooked to the satellite.  You tube is already on the TV, so I guess click that and see if it connects to an open HDMI port?

I built this in a hurry just so my mill would not be left out in the weather and so I could so saw anytime that I got a chance (some how my day off work is always 100% chance of rain). I knew from start that it would be a little tight on space. I am drawing up plans for a 44x40 to replace this and also store some lumber and equipment (skid steer, maybe an edger) but the more I think about it I doubt I will have very much lumber storage due to equipment and being able to move around while I do things without moving machinery outside to make room to work. I would like to go 40x100 or bigger but I have to make a lot more flat ground to build on first.

Looks warm and cozy.  Can you run it with the doors closed?  Flyboy, is that mean you fly?

I was going to put an exhaust in but didn't since I don't have room for the lumber inside so the doors are always open when I'm sawing. I fly some a flight engineer for the reserves but not very often anymore.

Flyboy 16101,
     THANK YOU for your service.  I'm an aircraft mechanic with a major airline.  Been there 27 years.  Years ago, I thought about becoming a WOC in the Army to fly helicopters.  At that time I was rebuilding wrecked helicopters.

If your TV is new, it is likely of the "smart" variety. That being the case, you can probably just use the TV remote to select youtube and watch it using just the TV.

Thank You Sponsors!
