Hello Everyone,

Im new to this site and new to milling. I have recently purchased a Norwood LM29 and have been making a trailer for it. I look forward to learning a lot from everyone here.

Thanks,

Welcome to the Forestry Forum.

How's that paint work in the cold?

Welcome, and that's a nice trailer!

ReinkeFandS · February 23, 2015, 01:16:15 PM

clww- ill have to see how it holds up. We kept the paint inside right up until it was sprayed, cleaned the metal with acetone, put down two coats of primer then three coats of paint. It layed down really well but have to see it stays on or just chips off, but really was no way around it.

Welcome and nice job on the trailer, now for some sawdust to protect that new paint. :D

drobertson · February 23, 2015, 02:31:25 PM

howdy and welcome as well, nothing like being prepped and ready, the saw dust will cover most of the chipping of the paint if it occurs ;D

ReinkeFandS,welcome to the forum. What's the plan for the lumber.

there is a long list of projects but first two more horse stalls out of ash that is already bucked, skidded and waiting. Then this spring a new lean to to the pull barn.
The long term goal is to get a pair of drafts and start logging and custom milling as extra income part time.
