I should have my mill built by spring. Well I've never used one and was thinking that I could probably go help someone that has a bandsaw mill and learn while helping them out for a day or 2 this spring (when I get my vacation time back).

I  live in Ivington KY.

My only request is please try to help me not get killed, maimed, or shortened from my natural 6'6" height.

Thats about a 5 hour trip, do you know of a camp ground close by that has trailer hookups? I could then bring the wife and tell her its a vacation, then vanish for 15 hours.

I am about one hour north of Louisville near Campbellsburg. I am not sure I could teach anyone anything. I do have a WM bandsaw I play with sometimes.  ;D  If you are good help, I might try to encourge you to do three days work learning. ;)

Hey Paw, the last time I dropped a cant on my finger I pulled it out of my glove  a quarter inch too short.   :o  <--- That's what my eyes did when when the block hit the deck.

Thanks guys for all the offers, I'll take you up on them.

I think you should take off work for six months , travel around and visit a bunch of sawyers. With some of us you will learn what not to do and from others you will learn what to do . Either way you will learn something. ::)
