It was pretty amazing, took him a week or so, but he got several 3" thick slabs, weighing a bunch each. The uncut piece was about 20 tons.  It was a lot of wood, mostly solid, with one very small pocket of center rot in a portion of the heart.  Will make some absolutely one of a kind pieces when cured!  He has been doing this for some time, and he sets up his mill so there is no bar sag at all, and the cuts are perfect every time.

Not sure how much he had to give for it, I am sure he will be able to make some good bank on his efforts. It was a bigun'!!

Jesper;
As Yellowhammer said, excellent and info laden videos.
Well done!
At about 40 seconds into your MS 880/660 video, you mention that the new Granberg brackets allow for adjustments to minimize bar sag.
Can you give a bit more detail on that?
How does that work?

Andries the videos are made by Rob who has alaskanmill.co.uk I'm only a happy customer. I haven't tried the new brackets as I like my quick adjustment for the old style to much  ;D but I do think that Rob have explained it in some other videos of his. But basically you actual bend the bar a little upwards when mounting the mill as I understand so when the pressure is put on it flexes and become level.
One thing i for sure Rob really knows something about the Granberg mills and how to use and tweak it.

Thank You Sponsors!
