Post by: ReinkeFandS on March 07, 2015, 10:25:58 PM
So I finally got my mill and trailer done and fired up the engine the first time. I couldn't wait till tomorrow so i got the tractor out, lit up the led's and cut up my first log.

And you did it in the dark and in the snow!  Yep, you've got the sawmill bug!  Just wait til you see how much fun it is on a warm, sunny day.  Enjoy.

RF, build yourself a comfy mill house and you can cut all winter. Remember a mill worth owning is a mill worth protecting. Frank C.

That's the spirit!

As I was sticker-stacking lumber last night by was of a lantern I wondered if anyone else was stacking lumber here in the eastern states right now

That's called a serious sawdust bug infection-- it's permanent and there's no cure! :D :D.  But, you didn't show us what you built with the boards right after you cut them..... ;D.  What's up with that?  All the best, Rob.

Hopefully the next set of boards will be with a little more light and less snow.  Either way it makes you feel good doesn't it?
