 paul good pics one thing do you have any trouble getting the dust from behid the mill  ???
looks awful close there  :D :D :D

[Quebecnewf]

there is a door on that side that opens up and the sawdust falls out on the ground works well, My mill is a Enercraft 20 hp Hyd drive but manuel jog turning and dogging. We are waiting for a cold snap to go haul some more logs before the sea ice gets to thin. I will post some more pictures if the weather cooperates.

Are you ventilating the engine exhaust? Carbon Monoxide poisioning can sneek up on ya... CO has a 200-300% greater affinity to adhear to the hemoglobin than O2 therefore takes a greater time to "gas off" and release those blood cells for O2 use..

I dont vent the exhaust. I have a door in each end of the building 5 ft wide plus the door where the logs come in is 14' X 4 . Never had a problem been sawing in this shed for the past 8 years or so. Sawed 1000 of logs over that time

Interesting name, being a newf myself, and living in northern ontario.  I wonder where you take the newf part from?

That's a neat town you live in Q.  I suppose you know just about everone there?  Do you live in town, or outside of it?

I live right in the center of town. I run a general store my fathers business but he is retired now for the last 13 years . Keeps us busy. We sell everything from soup to nuts. Sawmilling is a part time hobby cut logs in winter haul to mill with snowmobile saw in summer haul home to village with boat.

Solar kiln to dry some birch for woodworking another hobby /passion.
