Iron Inventory

[HORSELOGGER]

Guy we worked for was a moron, that lot was waaaaay too small and on an angle >:( We finally told him what to do with his slanty parking lot and everything else.....

Well.... I guess thats one way to approach the building of a loyal customer base

I know what you mean, but...
This was a guy who had no idea about how to do what he wanted to do. Thought he'd make a bunch of money cleaning up after a hurricane in a city and then make a bunch more sawing all the logs. No money cutting clothesline pulleys and power line insulators  His main job is television producer, no background at all... Long story, maaaaybe moron's the wrong word  ;) Ever work for 6 months on an asphalt parking lot in the summer, on a 12 degree angle?  :D :D Gotta laugh so I dont go loonie  :D :D

  Hi Guys, my mill is a Cook's MP32 that I bought from Horselogger.  The mill works
very well, is a simple man powered feed.  Had to wait a while before getting with the
sawing, as my daughters house needed finishing, bought the mill last spring. I'm a
farmer, so have a lot of iron, incl 3 JD tractors, 95 to 145 hp, also have my Dad's old
Super H IH tractor and a '05 Case 60XT skidsteer.  Use that to load the mill, and to
turn tough logs.  Need to build a saw shack, with some room to store lumber, been
humping the lumber into an old barn.  No room for skidsteer and forks. Way I've been
doing this I'm either going to get in shape or die.  Refuse to hire help.  Some
neighbors have stopped by and helped a little to get to watch me saw.

I've been reading the forum for about six months now, picking up information and advice as I go. A couple of weeks ago I drove over to Portland Woodmizer and picked up my new LT40G28. I'm a cabinetmaker, and just got frustrated with trying to get my logs sawn up in a timely matter, so decided to cash the 401 in and invest in something that would at least hold its value. The mill is flawless. I really enjoy working with it.

I hope that you will still have time for cabinets when folks find out you have a mill.  :D

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum Hoodoo.Would like to see a picture of that nice new mill you just bought.You will enjoy it.

[Hoodoo]

Thank you for the welcome. I meant to shoot some pictures when I first started sawing, but just couldn't stop long enough to step back and take some shots. I'll try to take some soon while the new mill is still "orange". And like "Tom Sawyer", when he had his friends talked into whitewashing his fence, I have friends who are clamoring to "help" me do some sawing. Maybe I'll just step back and let them do it.

Not a chance.

New to the forum...been lurking for a while and learning lots.

I have a 18" Hudson "Oscar" manual mill that I picked up for a specific job.  Not sure where my new hobby will take me, but I love anything that involves working with wood.

[pappy]

As always I'm late again... man this place is innlargin' all the time  ;) 

Welcome Hoodoo and Osric lots a good hapnin' round here ,, and always a good ting ta see new faces !!

18" Hudson "Oscar"      Humm   just what I got.. good tool  8) done a bunch a sawin' with it ... Done me well... To bad they ain't a sponsor yet,,,  :

[gharlan]

well I just got a little used Norwood Lumbermate. For support i have a john deere 210c and 450b. Also a 14' 14,000 lb dump trailer, 16 foot flat bed and a 32' tandem dual. For woodworking I have a cabinet shop set up.--4 shapers--2 table saw--three radial arms--16" planer--37"widebelt--pocket drill--face frame table--hinge insertion machine--and bla bla. now I only need logs to saw. But that will call for drying sheds--kiln--straight line rip saw--double sided planer--a moulder--where does the need end?????  but i like my toys.

Four friends and I (woodworkers and woodlot owners) just purchased a used Mighty Mite Bandsaw mill....none of us were interested in full-time sawing, just to take advantage of the nice logs that come up from time to time...paid $4800 for a 1989 model III....low hours, hydraulic head drive, shingle and siding jig, trailer package...heavy duty unit...good shape....should be fun, especially for the low investment of under a $1000 each. Love this site. Cheers, Bob from Madison, Wisconsin

Welcome to the Forum.

You should enjoy the new toy sawmill a lot. Getting ready to saw up some ash when (hopefully never) the EAB hits?  I hear the U of WI has been removing ash trees in anticipation of such a thing happening... :

Hope to hear how the new sawmill works out, and to see some pics (we like pics  ).

Beenthere,
Thanks for the welcome. Yes, the UW has already sawn some ash.....there will likely be lots to come....I have pictures of our mill in my gallery.......where you at?

I run two Woodmizers, a '94 LT40G24, and a '92 LT40E15. The G24 has manual toeboards and a winch turner, the E15 has no options. The E15 is run off of an IH UD-9 genset from the '40's. ;D
