Well, after waiting and saving for some two years, I've finally ordered a WM LT-15 G25!!  Now I need to get back to the forums and start reading on how to use it when it gets here....and dust off the camera!!

Rich,
  Congratulation on your new mill. Your much smarter than I. Next week or so I will pick up my new WM and hopefully make some saw dust too. Your 45 and a new mill and I'm 78 with a new mill which makes you almost twice as smart as I am.
                     Enjoy the mill,
                          Jim

About the only thing that will take your mind off waiting for a new mill is gathering up a bunch of logs.  Congratulations 8)

Congratulations on getting your mill ordered! I really enjoy sawing with my LT 15 but just saw for myself. I have a brother living in Benton. He works for Ditch Witch.

Looks like it should arrive next week. Future son-n-law has made an access road for the mill placement and we will be getting the pad finished this weekend. Once thats done, then it's set up and saw.
Wife surprised me with a new digital camera last weekend to post those pictures.
Thanks for all the support and well wishes!!

That is more than nice. Have I asked what's the plan for the mill? Lumber? Do you have your own logs to mill?
Title: Re: Mill Ordered!!!
Post by: dukndog on March 10, 2013, 07:21:08 PM
We got it mostly for timberframing a few items. We own 7 acres so some logs from the land. My future son in law owns an excavating business and brings logs to me. He has plans for a home which we intend to use the mill for.
I'm also a traveling man so several brothers have approached me for their milling. I don't really look at making a living with it but maybe I can help out someone that wants a tree of theirs cut into lumber.
