Rich,

   I love you man but every time I watch one of your videos I want to go out and kiss my hydraulics on my mill! Good looking lumber there. Any special use already planned or is it just stock for sale or future needs?

a few pieces were for a friend at work. The rest is to get a roof over the mill and I am planning a new 10X16 woodshop. I do sell a little occasionally. I'd like to build small sheds and sell them someday. Probably when I retire in a few years. I like the ones your doing look good.

I'd like to have the hyd. too but it's not that bad. Keeps my legs in shape!

Good video. I noticed you hand cranking a log turner, does that come on the wood miser or something you made ? I have a homemade mill and I think that would make my life easier. I was doing some SYP not quite as big as that and thought I was going to have to put a brick in my pocket (almost not enough butt to turn it).

That is a manual log turner that came with the mill form Woodmizer. There are other videos showing better on my you tube.
