Wood Gloat

Wow! Congratulations. I’ve noticed that when the wood is coming in it usually tends to be more than I have room for as well. Looks like you put together a great place for drying.

Nice! Nothin feels better than knowing you can paw through a stack of wood and find the right piece, or the wrong one that turns out right.

Good score! How about some pictures of the chainsaw mill your son built? Your drying shed looks great.

Nice pile of lumber. A little sweat and patience can go a long ways.

That’s great to have all that wood and a place to store it.

What a treasure and nice sheed.

Can put on some pictures of the sawmill to ?

Hal, GaryL, and Napoleon, I’ll put some picture of the mill once I get it back. Have loaned it out to a friend. He wanted to try his chainsaw on it. It’s actually pretty simple, the chainsaw clamps on 2 lower brackets which are in turn attached to an upper frame which rides on a 4X4 that sits on top of the log. The first cut is the tricky one, but once that one is made, the others are easier. It is a slow process, not like those “portable” saw mills on wheels, but it does work. It really is a “poor man’s” mill.
