These Hemlock trees were dying anyhow.....so to be able to use them is really nice.

I love taking something that would otherwise have gone to waste and making it into good lumber.
Most of what we mill is some kind of salvage, either dead/blow down, or stuff that was removed for pasture or a building site.

I had considered tearing it down when I first bought the land.....I'm glad now that I didn't. It was built in 1972, and ain't in great condition, but it's still all there.

Well, now that you have a mill you can fix it up all nice....
I looked at a place in Arkansas that had three of those buildings on in, some days I really wish I'd have bought that instead of the place we have now....ever since we moved in here we've been building more stuff.

Yeah, too bad metal doesn't grow on trees...lol
That's always what stops me from building more/bigger buildings... expensive roofing.

Pretty clever buddy!
How are you going to set the teeth?

That's next. I figure I can get away with a sharpen or two on my bands before I need to make up a tool to set them. You're the pro sawyer, though... Am I right or do they need setting after every sharpen?
