So, at this point if I had a question it would be this: Any of you fine folks with a manual mill and no hydraulics figure out an easy way to center the pith for your first cut? Maybe I should ask "An EASIER way".
Don't forget to readjust your toe board for the second side!! Don't forget to remove or lower the toeboards for sides 3 and 4!! (Nobody has EVER forgotten this step. )

(Nobody has EVER forgotten this step. )OK so now you have me. My thinking (I have not done this yet) is that you set the toe board for the first cut to get the pith level, then you flip the log 180° and rest on the first cut, this makes two parallel sides. Now you will have to set the toe board on the third side, then remove for the forth. Is that right? As I type this I realize that you probably set and cut side one, the roll 90° and set the toe board to center the pitch again, then remove the toe board for 3 and 4 sides.So did I understand you correctly? Just trying to work this out in my thick head.
Hey OG,If you are thinking of getting ambitious and building a set of toeboards, I'd be happy to post up a bunch of photos for detail for you. Lemme know.cheers eh?
It gets easier the more you do it, so doin’ it is the most important thing.
