I am envious...

I would love to have an LT10

That is awesome. You best build your Mom something nice too.

Since folks are making suggestions about your future and hydraulics and such. Let me add to it and give relationship advice. If the redhead wants to help cut, off load and stack the red oak. Ask her to marry you.

Snowman: If you would've told me a few years ago that I would be doing this by my own free will, and enjoying it, I'd tell you you were crazy.

But now I really enjoy it, and when people ask me if I workout I say no, I cut wood. I really enjoy seeing an ugly log turn into beautiful lumber, and the workout is a bonus.

Bull: The answer: I'm gonna own a milling business when I get older.

Captain: What was the name of the young man? I don't know of anyone my age that has a sawmill, or is even interested in it.

fishpharmer: For my mom I plan on using it to reside our barn with tulip poplar.

And of course I can use wood I cut from it to make other things for her. I agree with having a woman that wants to help. Actually she has blonde hair, and I have yet to ask her if she would do that.

I plan on sawing some 2x4's 2x6's, etc., to use to build a solar kiln, unless I find a good deal on a dehumidifying or other type. That's probably a ways in the future though.

Gday

Jeff & Dave you blokes can use some of mine anytime

trick is just to keep clicking that left button fellas

Ty with the bands its the way to go seeing as you have good access to service

i had to learn quick when i started with mine the trick is if (when) you do start doing your own take a break after you knock off for the day and do them at night

you can sit there and watch tv or listen to the radio

ifin you wernt so far away id loan you my old sharpener to get started mate

I get comments all the time with my build

I just say Workout

works hard enough

With those peskey greeney types just tell them your a Carbon Collection and Storage Specialst I Do

and what are they doing for the enviroment

and that usually shuts them up

Great news Ty. I wish I would have started when I was your age. I don't think I will ever get tired of running the mill. Don't forget... LOTS of pictures!

pigman · « **Reply #26 on:** February 01, 2009, 10:43:54 pm »

Ty, I think I was close to your our age when I bought my first mill. 53 is close to 19 isn't it?

tyb525 · « **Reply #27 on:** February 01, 2009, 10:55:51 pm »

Close enough

Ty, here is a better picture of Dave Mann. I can't believe you would by a mill from a guy that would break eggs on his head. Actually it is Nemo in the picture.

I like the title of the thread

I like the reason just as much, congratulations Ty.

At one time I thought it was great to stand in front of the post office with either a box of kittens or even better baby chicks. All the girls would come up,"oh how cute". But when you get a mill...all the buds are there, "lets cut a log". Lots of grins. Conga-rats.

Dodgy Loner · « **Reply #31 on:** February 02, 2009, 11:19:47 am »

Good going, Ty! You beat me out by 5 years

Dad and I didn't get a mill until last fall, but it was the most exciting thing that happened to me last year (I'm betting that my girlfriend of 6 months won't read this, of course

). Having a sawmill will certainly enrich your life. We need pics when you saw those logs up, of course

. Oh, and go ahead an book your trip to the Pig Roast in August. I look forward to meeting you there!

ErikC · « **Reply #32 on:** February 02, 2009, 12:04:18 pm »

I was a few years older than you when I bought my mill. A lot of people who were older than me said "I wish I would have bought something like that when I was younger, I would have had time to make it pay like you will." So good job!!!

TeenSwinger · « **Reply #33 on:** February 02, 2009, 12:43:56 pm »

Congratulations on the new mill. Now you will be looking at trees a lumber now.
I bought a Peterson ATS when was 16. Now I don't have any spare time to get into trouble.
Have fun and play safe.

Gday

Ty and Teenswinger thats 3 of Us that i know of now

including Myself

Csm at 13yo new Jonsered Bandmill at 15yo 1st one imported into Aus and built the 44" Table top circ at 18yo started working fulltime doing Log building as an appretice at 13 nagged dad for afew months to build the Csm He Just said if if Mum and I are helping you out with building/buying mills You have to make them pay I payed cash for everything after the first mill even got myself a nice volvo loader

Tyb when i said to you that it wont be long till you get a band mill it was because id spent 2 years on the csm atleast 2 days per week

I like the smell of Twostroke But not that much

sends you alittle silly after 10 to 12 hours leaning over one

Or that just mighta been the Addiction Kicking In

Teen do you run your mill full time

and your rite It dose keep keep young Blokes outa troubble ppl called me dumb for a start but when you can make more money in 2 days than most ppl do in a week people take notice at what you are doing my only addvice is save to buy equipment and what ever else you want I even paid cash for two 1/2 acre town blocks at 18yo

they are worth over $200k now

finnaly just starting building a home on one in the next month

I think we where verry lucky to find and know what it is we enjoy doing early on in life and to be able to make a great livivng if your willing to work hard

I think that is part of the problem with society today Kids that are still going I dont know what it is I want to do with my life at my age

Being babyed and told that Hard work is beneath them dose'nt help em either

You just Gotta get out there and do it

Thanks guys for assuring me that this is a good thing to do.

This week is taking forever.

I can't wait till Saturday! We're leaving at 7 am so we can get there as soon as they open.

Meadows Miller · « **Reply #38 on:** February 03, 2009, 09:15:45 pm »

Gday

Ty its the best thing you could do what other addictions echmm hobbys

give you a return on your investment

I reckon you will get there well before they open that will be the longest part of the wait

Dont worry it wont take long just get out there and cut some more logs Mate

Reguards Chris

tyb525 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 03, 2009, 09:18:36 pm »

That's a good idea

. I actually have a guy with some logs who wants me to saw them already. I told him to give me time to set it up and cut some of my own logs first
