Title: I Just Can't Help Myself
Post by: Meadows Miller on August 18, 2011, 05:35:43 PM
Gday

Well it looks like I am the Proud Owner of an Older model 01 Frick double carriage mill with 36' cut capacity as when we where at the Ag progress days I had an old fella come up to us asking about the lucas mill for a relo and he mentioned that they had gotten a complete 01C about 10 years ago but never got around to setting it up everythings there apart from the saw and motor which he sold  ;) so Ill most likely be going to have a look and pick it up on tuesday its on wood so ill just take all the steel work and store it at joes  and I got the lot for a whopping $100 dollars  :) :) It should tidy up into a bloody nice mill ;) ;D ;D 8)

Regards Chris

It'd be cheaper to start a sawmill here I bet than to ship it home. ;)
