Those blocks are too nice to put on the ground. Besides, wouldn’t you want your pads wider for better load displacement? The Lucas Portable sawmill would have allowed you to cut the tree on the ground. Of course, I’m not sure how the cost compares to your mill, but I know when I was looking at portable mills that I liked the idea of not having to lift the log onto the mill. I believe the max cut is 12/4 or 8 X 8. I imagine your mill has more flexability when it comes to demintions of lumber.
