Hello Everyone,
Thanks to those that run the forum and approved me to join! I currently run a Grandberg/Stihl set-up, but I am looking for a bandsaw mill. Look forward to participating in the forum.

Welcome to the Forum Chris.  What are your goals with the bandsaw?

Welcome to the Forum Chris.  What are your goals with the bandsaw?

Thanks. I want to mill some things for a house and buildings that I plan to build on a piece of land that I have. I also like to mill lumber to use in my wood shop.

clewis76,welcome to the forum.
We will help you spend your money. :D 
First off,you will need a cantdog or a peavey. Logrite,a sponsor,on the left has them and more. The website tells the difference between the two. I like a peavey,the one with the point. The point helps to pry the logs apart. But the point might leaves marks on the wood. A big no-no with high grade wood.

Thanks! I already have a nice peavey that I bought when I got my chainsaw mill. I just ordered a bandsaw mill and it should be here in a week or so! I cannot wait to get it going.

Thanks. No, I have not got it yet.I am hoping to have it this coming week. My extra blades came yesterday, and I bought a trailer today to mount it on. If it ever stops raining, I hope to get the trailer ready for the mill so when it does come I can get up and running quick.

I bought a small Frontier, made by Norwood. It was what was in my price range, and looks pretty nicely built. I got it Friday, but because of the wet/cold weather here, I don't know when I'll get the chance to set it up. I cannot wait to get going though!
