I'll never get stuck here. I hauled in over 1,200 yards of gravel. It's over 2' deep right there. :/:

Got a good rain this afternoon, just long enough to go somewhere and grab lunch. It's all gravel, just a lot of fines that make it muddy for a few minutes.

First load headed to the timber frame shop.

Milling. I don't get going as early as I'd like, but I go until dark once I do get it together. I'm really happy to be back at my mill.

Yes.

I wasn't sure if this should go in milling or timber framing, so I'll put the timbers here, and the finished project in timber framing. I've got to make a timber framed, hand hewn, entryway into a vendor booth for the forest products expo in Vermont for next week. First TF in a long time.

This may not look like a giant chainsaw slabbing mill, but it's in there. :/:

A little bit. Waiting on the ash guy. Usually very responsive, but no return call from yesterday.

Sawing some stuff for a new home build. An arborist who wants to feature a variety of locally salvaged materials. A nice but short butt log that made some nice boards for paneling or flooring. Some bookmatched brace stock from a log I had in the firewood pile.

I just scored these three sycamore logs. Now I just have to get them home. And figure out how to quarter them. The one on top is the size of my Golf, and three tines as heavy. :/:

I was able to get a "small" milling job done today. I'll link my Instagram post below. Quite a process to salvage this chunk of ash.

Fresh, small knot spruce is nice stuff. Dry, old, big knots is not really worth sawing.

Spruce sucks on a bandmill. Even under the best circumstances it's hard to saw.

According to Wood-Mizer, it's just for pitch issues, not cooling. I was told that windshield washer has enough of a solvent effect for most situations.

I've run nothing for years. I do have some gumming, but not bad. If I sawed a lot of syp, I'd definitely need to run something. I have the check valves to fix my lube system, and I'll run windshield washer fluid. Some swear by diesel, but I don't need it, and won't use it.

Used Wood-Mizers are bringing as much, or more, than new. I've heard up to 70 months wait. It's crazy.

Wood-Mizer recipe is 1 pint vegetable oil and a squirt of Dawn to 5 gallons water.

Sawing some wide white oak.
