    Millings are better for a top coat imo. Depends on what kind of ground it's on. If I were doing budget paving for truck access, I'd want a concrete rubble base, with millings on top.

    Concrete rubble makes a nice base. Once it's been used awhile, everything locks in nice and tight.

    I like the look of that cedar log. You should see if they'll throw that in as a bonus ;^)

    Did you prep the log with the paint, or was that the customer? Seems like most people wouldn't know to do that.

    Is that the common definition of a "slab"? I always considered a slab an extra thick live edge board. I'd call a crosscut a "cookie", though those guys you were cutting stretch that to point of breaking.

    I think of you every time I see the words "spalted wood" :^D

    I don't see why a battery drill is essential. A used heavy duty corded drill should work as well, and not a big extra cost.

    I'd like to come into a nice cedar log. I don't have anything specific in mind, but it's nice wood. Spruce is nice for construction products. Very light, and easy to work. I'm just using a chainsaw mill, and am not going for "pretty" with the stuff I make, so the spruce matches my standards...

    I didn't notice the winch on his setup. Should have. I've seen it before. I do mine manually. Sufficient for the amount of milling I do.

    Pull or push? I find pulling the saw through the log easier on my back, and switch it up as I go through the log, with the exit cut being push. There's some safety concerns with pulling I guess, but you'd have to be remarkably careless to hurt yourself doing that.

    A long ladder anchored to the top. take the top off. Optionally, drop the mill, and take the bottom off. Roll the log 90°, anchor the ladder again, checking with a framing square, repeat step #1. All assuming an Alaskan mill. Dunno about other mills. edit: If your ladder, frame, whatever isn't...

    I don't have a winch, and I don't think I mill enough to warrant buying one. Shoving the saw through the wood is most enjoyable part of the process for me. What I really hate is the setup, and that quick clip will help that a bit. It'll especially make sharpening easier. On the lower settings, I...

    Granberg sells quick clips for mill height adjustment... https://www.granberg.com/product/quick-release-clamp-for-alaskan-mill/?mc_cid=464a14480d&mc_eid=58f2d47b36 I'm thinking about getting a set. That would eliminate one of the more annoying aspects of running the mill.

    Milling is a dustier operation, and you're spending more time in the cut. No reserve capacity for oil, and higher temps. That's the way I see it anyway. The bar comes out of the mill looking drier than after a big crosscut.
