Just saying hello!

[RussMaGuss]

Hope this is the proper place to make this post. Just a general hello to all fellow sawyers! I got myself set up with a woodland mills hm126 and getting myself a 880 magnum with a 47" bar for the big EDITED BY ADMIN to slab up. I'm very excited to find an entire forum of people dedicated to milling up logs; I wasn't sure such a forum existed and am very happy to find one does, and an active one at that!

So far my main equipment is:
-hm126
-18" echo 40 cc
-Stihl 880
-alaskan mill. Probably going to weld my own up after a while. I've heard the grandberg ones are OK, but have room for improvement
-soon to be constructed solar kiln (looking into different types--looking to make a variation on the Virginia Tech plan) Haven't looked into the forums much, but I'm sure there are plenty of threads on the topic of drying lumber properly.

I look forward to talking with everyone about everything from knocking down trees to drying out lumber in a kiln and everything in between!

What's the plan for the lumber?

Fueling my cabinetry/furniture building and then selling off everything I don't use. If I had enough trees on my property I'd mill them to make a kiln, but home depot will have to do for now!
