Milled some lumber today...

[PA Dan]

Took down a tall Blue Spruce about 18 months ago. Saved the last 8' to mill. Didn't have a project in mind so the log just sat. Took about 18" off for saw testing. Decided to make some 4x4 posts to use for building a base for a wood lathe I just got from @Duane(Pa). Finally got to use my mini mill too! Got 4 4x4's and 4 2x4's. The high today didn't break 70 and was breezy so it was a perfect day to mill.

066 and 044 were the two saws of the day.

For those that have not met Dan, there is no way in hell he'll be able to reach a lathe sitting on top of those.

Hey now...

Here's the progress on that project! Got the base all together and the legs are only 29". The White Oak slab is 2 3/4" thick so the working hight of the lathe should be around 42".

No no no that's just the legs. He said his "working height" is 42.

That mini mill looks like it works pretty slick for getting a nice 90 deg. corner. Along with multiple vertical cuts to start so you slab off more piece per horizontal cut. I might have to try that some day. Currently I just chalk line and rip with a chainsaw and joint the edge. Unless it less than 6/4, then I'll use the skill saw.

Won't you get sick of moving those offcuts off your bottom bunk every day for nap time?
