New Beauty coming to South Louisiana

[SkyDoc]

Well, she showed up right before dinner!

If you need a hotshot service I cant say enough good about JB Transport. John was super easy to work with, he kept me informed and got it from New York state to Baton Rouge in less than 48 hours.

I'll get pictures of her once I take her to the car wash and rinse the salt off of her tomorrow. First up are those two big pine logs I've been sitting on.

There will be a good chance they are going to put sand down on the roads today. Oh, watch out for ice on the roads. If you are home next week once it warms up, I would like to come by and check it out. ;D

Nice, sturdy looking mill

I've also got a Turner Mill and have been very happy with it. 1 broken blade in the last 3 years, no lube to deal with at blade......
Bill is great to deal with as he personally works on every mill, alongside one other worker. He's less interested in growing his volume than putting out excellent work from what I see. I'm only about 75 minutes from his shop so that's a plus too. You get your money's worth!

I'm quite pleased with my new mill! I have some learning curve that I'll have to figure out. Going from a small push mill to a giant fully hydraulic mill. I have milled about 4 logs to date, mostly oak from a storm a while back.

Started building a chicken coop 12x14' out of what I had to use...which was oak. It seems I made ALL of the newbie mistakes rather quickly. I bent a band by raising the log stop into it, I hit the log loading arm with the band cover and I learned that if I am going to take an 8" bite off of a cant that the drive system cover will not let it pass, so you just need to scoot the cant over an inch or so. I'll post pictures in the Whatcha Sawin thread soon.

Congratulations Doc on the "new baby".   8)

Nothin like a new mill to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step.  Congrats!

You know, that is just a well thought out, simple, and good looking mill.  I like it a lot, and I'm sure you do too!  Simplicity is a big bonus in my books.  Enjoy
