You ever sawn into the dogs?

Are you making squares for log homes, or timber framing?

 

[tree monkey]

yes, it's not fun

the cants get cut into lumber on the band mill to save wood.
will get a vid of that soon

What are you powered with?

Two blade edger?

The mill sounds great. I worked a mill like that when I was in my early 20s. Gotta say, I loved that work. We would cut our own logs for a week or so, then saw for a few days. The operation grew, and they started buying logs, and custom sawing.

It wasn't quite as fun then.

Very nice. I visit the Colchester Ct. tractor show every summer at the Zagray
farm and they have a vintage mill very similar to this one. Always fun to watch.
I would love to try running one some day.

Reminds me of the mill my dad bought to build our barn back when I was just out of high school. The date is wrong and these are the only pictures I have........ That's my brother running the mill and my sister running the pto of the tractor.

We used a very strong Ih 1066 on the mill and I remember killing it a few times! It was direct drive no slip clutch to be found.

Nice video and operation I have spent some time around mills and used to own a Frick 01 and a Frick edger and still have the live log deck from my mill. First thing I noticed was the lack of a sawdust drag, never used one with a blower.

If you don't have an edger just stop the carriage short of completely sawing through the board and bring it back. Pop it off and stack them on the deck and then run them though the mill and flip and repeat.

I noticed that you did not dog the back of the log, any issue with runout?

Yeah, that makes sense Scott. I can see the band saw saving a lot of wood. Being able to cut two 1x6 at a time gets your speed back too. Nice setup my friend.

 

[Lee H]

That is a nice set up.
