Yesterday I completed the largest sawmill order I've ever had this morning I lined up the next guy, this order may be as big or bigger. Lots of beams and post so it's quick bf but everything is extremely heavy. This first delivery is supposed to be a bunch of 16'-18' long by 18" logs the next delivery is supposed to be very large diameters some as large as 40"-48" , that's 5000# or more.

A couple weeks ago I cut some pecan , some with spalting . I now wish I had taken pics and put them on the beautiful thread. But it needs a couple of months to oxidize and bring out the color.

We are thinking about buying a portable saw mill.

I used to work construction and one day this crew was decking the roof on a 3 story house. Well one guy stepped on his air gun hose and lost his footing, he is sliding fast so he makes a split second decision to hit his hand with the gun and nail himself to the deck :shock: It worked, they cut a small square out of decking and off he went to hospital with his hand nailed to a piece of osb.. I guess it was better than the fall..

Actually that was genius.

I have the woodmizer lt40 it will cut 21'x 24"x36" , mine has the hydraulic lift arms but not all the automated system. I could add more features but most are around 2000$ each and I only run this mill part time. But I were to do it as a full-time business I would want all the bells and whistles.

About four of us are going to split on the cost. I'm looking at some more land and want to build my own log cabin.

Me too but as I study more and more on cabin construction it seems that the south is a poor place for them. Plus our local codes are all f'ed up. And it's best to buy a kit and assemble it. Here is some wide pine I cut into 3" slabs for live edge shelves and some paneling I made from beetle killed pine.

Nice. I want to mirror the cabin my father in law built. Been standing 30 years. Made with 8x8 logs. Porch all the way around to keep rain off.
