Today I saw Sorbus intermedia (Swedish Whitebeam). And I only have a few short logs
You can shorten the sawmill if you want, but I choose another method when I saw a few short logs.

Another great movie production. I hate to see you lifting heavy logs, that will creep up on you when you get older. A dead deck the same level as your mill you could load with your tractor would save your back. Hinged pieces between the deck and mill would let you flip the logs/cants back to turn them then slide back on the mill. Frank C.

You are absolutely right
Have been thinking about building a ramp, but I can not decide if the saw is to stand outside or not. Then i thinks that they will build it, there will always be something else I need to do

Teed,

   I hate short logs! They are hard to clamp on my mill and they don't fit between the lifting arms so they is a lot of manual effort to work with them.

    I do like the looks of your mill. I wonder if they make something similar to that that would fit on the rails of my WM mill to use with a long bladed chainsaw and cut slabs and still let me use my other attachments on the mill for lifting, turning clamping and such?

    That may be a great design idea. Maybe WM will read this thread, design such a saw and if it makes any money they can send me some (or at least a complimentary slabbing attachment - Naaahh. Probably not going to happen).

    Keep up the good work and keep the threads form Scandinavia coming.

    My first exchange student was from Sweden and I have had a couple from Finland, one from Norway, 2 Germans and a Serbian daughter. I am not going to comment about which one aged me the most. They were my practice teenagers so when my kids were older we were ready for them.

I hope wm send you a pile of money and it comes out such a saw on the market. Think it would be a great compliment to the band sawmill.

Do not understand what you mean by Swedish teenagers can be tough  :D
