Well, I bought my 18" Bozeman on sale, putting it to use till the 31" goes on sale. A customer of mine that I did a lot of milling for bought a new bandsaw mill at an auction and found out moving logs is a chore. I borrowed my brother's trailer and left the mill at his house since my gate was...
I went into my pile of C channel and welded up a trailer frame, made oak spacers from a log I just milled. Need to make an extension.Now to find an axle, jacks, tow hitch, chains, lights, etc etc etc
Giving about 2 quotes a week for over a year and no bites. Got a small one today, logs delivered to my shop. 3 logs. 17" dia 7' or so long. Black wanut.
Edit: pics are not uploading.
I need to sit down and catch up on all the work out there. I finally got some tree work, stump grind a 5' maple. Only took a couple hours, that included playing with a dog.
There is a milling thread in Chainsaws. I have a secret list of cut time of various wood, widths and lengths and I use that for figuring out a price. I have the list somewhere on the milling thread.
Supposed to have a milling job today but my f150 wasn't supposed to break the front coil spring in 3 places. Anyway got the strut changed. Decided to troubleshoot my 088 that didn't run up to power after I rebuilt the carb, turned out it just needed to be tuned. A little off from what I remember...
I watched the video on bar oil tests and also found HK to be a decent oil, behind Poulan pro/STP bar oil. HK is $21.99/gal up here. Mind you, all my tests are how much stretch I get after milling and how much film is left on the drive links after a cut. I need to service my bars quite a bit...
I've been looking for a way to add a tackifier to cheaper bar oil, recently I watched a machine shop video on bacon grease as a tackifier. Boy does it work!
