At one time or another I suppose I have watched nearly every sawmill video on Youtube, especially the ones that have "steam" in the title... Most of them numerous times. ::) Since I haven't sawed anything since the first of the month I think I'll ride out to the mill and put some sawdust in my boots, then just walk around for a while... Maybe the rest of the day. 8)

Here's an idea, might bring a bag home....... In case of emergency ;D

Just hang it from the ceiling so when you start climbing the walls, you can grab it and apply the antidote.

I had the same problem for years. Dreaming of owning a mill of my own. But I couldn't afford one on a policemans salary. I retired from the department in 2008 and got my annuity money from the state. I immediately went and bought my Hud-son, mainly because of the price and the fact that there is a Hud-Son dealer about 35 miles away. But, Logmaster is a good mill. I've never run one but just from looking at them if seems be be a real solid mill. I don't think you would go wrong with one.

Gets imbarassing you pull a handfull of change out of your pocket and its half sawdust you don't want to dump it on their floor so you put it back in your pocket. Frank C.

That is why I always wear a welder's waist apron when sawing.  The "no sawdust in the pockets" keeps the wife happy also.   ;D

I always use a leather weldor's apron too. It also keeps the pine sap from soaking through your clothes.

Thanks for the congrats and the invite, tcsmpsi. I will pm you one of these days and take you up on that offer.

I will likely start milling another couple stacks of logs after the first of the year (usually on Sundays)...depending on what other 'trials' develop.   :D
