     Nice job Teed, and good looking boards too!  Do you need to use wedges on the longer or wider cuts?

Hey!
It works well without wedge. And usually I tend not to use it, if it's not too much stress into the board.
Then it can help a lot.

Nice. What's the planks going to be used for?

I really do not know what they should be for. But I love to build furniture, so it's always nice with a stock of wood to choose from when starting a new project.

That set up any good for a 30" (not but diameter) yellow birch? I could get boards out of the bush easier than a several 100 lb log. ;D

do not think you can cut 30 "but is good enough to run logs that are 23-25" and weighs 1100lbs

Nice work Teed!  Good looking lumber and those slabs will make great firewood.

I am in the the process of learning me to say. So I try to cut as much as I can to see if it is good or bad. When you live as far north as I am it is good that some become firewood, otherwise it will be cold in the winter  :D

Heck of a deal there, I think this is the second one I've seen running, pretty impressive,  no need to let timbers go to waste,

You know it's been a bad winter when March arrives and you have to start busting up furniture to use as firewood!  :D

I've seen in the past a woodshed or two make the fire brigade.  Of course after the wood piles were exhausted inside. ;D

Nice video, thanks for sharing. Looks like you get a pretty good workout with that mill.

8) Yep need time to build a saw table, so I can lift the logs in the correct height and avoid lifting them

[SwampDonkey]

Probably want to elevate the logs about waist high don't you?  Don't go too high or that will be a workout to, especially 20"+ logs. ;D

[justallan1]

Very cool. That's getting the job done.
