At 10:30 wed morning Kyle from WM/NY pulled in with the new lt28.After all the paper work was done and a cup of coffee we went out and did the set-up, He went through all of the mill and all the do's and dont's. My hats off to wood mizer and there staff they worked mith me from the first call a year ago, all the questions at booneville ny and right down to loading the first log onto the mill to saw. I have been sawing all week and am going out soon(as soon as the frost melts)to saw, I will post Pic's tonight or in the morning and just wanted to thank all posters for their commets as I have been reading them for the past year

Well that is the simplified version. ;D
Kinda like saying all you have to do to brake a horse is stay in the saddle. smiley_horserider
Enjoy your time milling. smiley_wavy
Yep, that's a special feeling when that shiny new mill rolls into the driveway (done it twice now ;D ;D).
I'm glad to see you got the log deck package. It's amazing what you can do with that winch and some elbow grease.
Outstanding.
So its as good as thought it would be?
Good show Sam,don't you just love that new mill smell.In our world today we don't often get the chance to turn raw material into something we can use.Have you decided how your going to sharpen your bands??Frank C.
You are well on your way now. :D Have fun.
Congratulations on your new mill Sam. You have some fine looking boards there.
John
Nice pictures.....You da man now........ 8)
Thanks guys for all the positve, I love the log deck package, that log turner by itself is worth the price. It is taking awhile to get used to the number scales but all in good time. I will most likley send my blades to WM northeast for re-sharpen its not that far away so turnaround time should be short along with UPS charges.The olny thing I have done stupid is paying to much to the blade and cut and not where the trailet axle is and have banged my knee a few times, My wife told me keep running into it and you will rember it there::)
Have a good day and a safe week
Sam
That's the worst injury I've gotten to! After a while though, you'll pretty-much memorize the steps it takes to reach the end of that leaf spring!
Enjoy your mill!
Nice mill. I know you are enjoying yourself. It is a special feeling to put a log on a mill and see your own lumber coming off.
