Quote from: MikeySP on January 26, 2019, 01:51:06 PMI would have thought milling was a young man's game alone until I noted many of you old war horses starting in late 40's on to 60 or so and loving it.
Hey Mike,
Who are you calling "Old War Horses"? Many of us were so pretty, we were used in Parades.... :D smiley_horserider
Thanks for your service.

found pics in your gallery.  timberking has a scale and digital height/thickness as well.  I am looking for a laser to project down at the leading edge of the blade.  So I can tell when I am behind the log and can drop the head.  If anyone has thoughts.  Thanks BB

OK Gents....  I purchased a sawmill. Would have loved an LT40 Super, but for a song, I got a 2011 LT35HD25G... Just got home with it. Going to start a new thread to attract counsel on where I go from here.

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Odd, I came home and can't find my 35 anywhere.....fresh tracks leaving the mill house in a hurry from the looks of it.  :D

Congratulations. That mill will take you a long way.
