Fine, @dall wins. 😭

Thanks gents. In talking with @dall , he pointed out that I should've mention that I'm going to have a shed roof and this proposed truss or beam will be the header that about 10- 2x6 rafters will sit on. It'll have a metal roof and will be 12' wide. Something like this, with knee supports...

Because I'm dense and want to do this right the first time, by 'truss' you mean a single appropriately sized floor truss style to span the 20', correct?

So, I've had my mill set up in my garage for a few weeks but haven't used it bc I need to get my sawmill shed built. I'm having trouble making up my mind on how to go about clear spanning 20' for the area I want to roll my logs into. I'm thinking about a 5.5"x12"x20' white oak beam or a...

Thanks. That gives me a good idea on how to make future offers.

I sort of thought it was a bit high but he's only 1.5 miles from the house and has one more larger oak he said I could get as well. However, it's in a precarious position. I also spotted a culvert in the weeds I'd like to take off of his hands, so I'm hoping this is a foot in the door to dicker...

For those of you that buy single to a few logs from individuals, how do you settle on a price? Do you try to estimate the board feet in which you may get from a particular tree and go from there? I just bought a single fallen red oak from a fella up the road for a $100. I'm guessing that I'll...

What do boards like those sell for?

You can find their prices online. I think for my needs the mill will be great. I got the mill, a 6' 7" track extension, and 15 blades. I was not charged shipping or freight due to my dealer being close enough to the distribution center that he apparently doesn't feel the need to charge a fee...

I ordered a mill and it should be ready for pickup on Monday. I'm pretty excited to get it and get to milling. I went with the Range Road 6032 and opted for the 14hp Kohler. I was originally going to go with the 22hp predator but I'd rather have the warranty of the Kohler. Hopefully I'll have...

I like your setup for the mill. Looks nice. Are those bales in the building 6'x6' rounds? They look quite large. Yes @dall my tractor could lift them.

@dall and @Mastermind, thanks for the avatar. NOT!!! 😆

Does anyone have knowledge of these mills? To me, they seem underwhelming but I've never seen one in person...

@davidwyby

I'm not sure if this is a joke but or not but you should not be there unarmed. Yes, keep your head on a swivel.
