My new TK2000 with set works. I picked this up in the fall of 2011.

 
First customer brought the biggest log the mill could handle. A pin oak! Quite a challenge for a beginner! 


 
One morning before work on the farm.

Very nice mill, nice log, nice shed. What else can I say?.... except nice border collie (my favorite dog).

Now you don't have to wonder what a larger log would feel like.   ;D

What is on the outside of that old log doesn't matter, it's what is on the inside.  Kinda like opening a surprise package.

Ronnie - I'm green with envy. I've been drooling over the TK2000 for the past year. The time isn't right yet to purchase, but I'm counting the months!

Good luck with everything, it looks like you will soon become addicted to big logs like a bunch of us are.

Norm summed it up ...SWEET! Any photos of the end results? Young man with a new mill is the beginning of a great relationship.
Since I retired I really like work: It fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

Very nice setup Ronnie.  Mine's parked in the woods covered with tarps :'(.  The "road" to its ultimate home is currently blocked by several large wind-fallen red oaks...and my chainsaw crapped out on me.  >:(
