Opps! I did it again. I have just bought me another mill. I am now the proud owner of 2 LT70 mills one remote and one non remote that is hooked up to the ext., log deck, and aux. hyd. which makes it rather stationary. I needed another one to do the portable jobs. I am real glad that I never sold my spare edger now. 8) ;D
Two LT70s, Nyle L200 kiln, 4 head Pinheiro planer, 30" double surface Cantek planer, Lucas dedicated slabber, Slabmizer, and enough rolling stock and chainsaws to keep it all running.

Glad to hear its another mill.  Thought you mighta found some illicit mind altering substances. :D :D  Or does sawdust fit that category? ;)

Congrats on the mill.   8) 8)

Does the newest addition have the same setup as your stationary?  Engine?

Congrats on that second mill.... 8)  If there were 2 of me, maybe I'd consider it.... :D

Let's see.....Maybe it would go something like this:

Wow, I did not know that Brittany ran sawmills.  I guess that is where she get the material for her songs!

Way to go CS.  Two LT70's!  That is some serious business  ;D.

Hi Customsawyer, congrats on your second mill, if you need a third mill for portability try the Peterson website.
They would work great in unison.

i was clicking on this to find out how you knew how brittany spears felt. ;D

Didn't you at one time have an LT40 and LT70?


We had at one time a manual LT40 and a LT40 Super Hd.  Worked out right handy at times.  We used the Super on big, heavy logs and the manual for smaller stuff.

Congratulations on having two really useful tools- I tend to have several so I can find one when I need it, but sawmills?  Haven't lost the one yet, so I guess I'll wait till I misplace it before I think about getting another one...

Oh, and I still can't get the connection- Spears cuts wood?  Uses wood?  Is wood?  Like a duck or a witch?  obscure reference to one of the all-time great movies, "In search of the holy grail..."  After dozens of years since I saw it last, I still find myself quoting lines from it... but Spears?  not so much.

Brittany and her sister Jamie Lynn grew up just South of Brookhaven.  They both went to school at Parklane Academy.  Both of them and their mother still come to Brookhaven to get their hair fixed.  Good family and good folks.  Too much fame and money can surely mess folks up.

Well I, for one, have always wondered what Brittany Spears felt like, but decided not to go there.  I can only imagine that I would end up just breaking her heart, and I ain't gonna do that.

Congrats Jake!

I don't want to sound like an idiot, but how do you indend to run 2 mills at one time?  I am not a sawyer yet, just a saw mill owner, and my one saw mill needs a lot of work (I haven't cut a single board on it yet) so I have no experience yet.  (But I do have plans). Please don't take this as an insult, I was just curious as to how you intend to be more efficient enough with two saw mills to justify the purchace price?

pasbuild

Someone asked a good friend of mine why he bought a certain item and his reply was because I can ;)   wish I had three mills ( or just one good one)
If it can't be nailed or glued then screw it

Carpenter

Well, Pasbuild, that is an answer.  But not really an answere to the question.

Carpenter

Oh well, My question was probably like somebody from the 1950's asking why anybody would ever need two tv's.  Congratulations on the new mill Customsawyer.  I have enjoyed your posts over the last month I have been a member.

DanG

Customsawyers other mill is anchored down in one place and is no longer portable.  He has opportunities in the portable business, so he bought another one with wheels.  You can bet that he knows how to make it pay for itself, just as the other one has.

Your question is not a silly one, Carpenter.  It is hard for some of us to picture how somebody like CS can do what he does, but he gets more done in a day than most folks do in a week.  He works hard, plans well, and has a really good business head.  He knows the business and has the contacts, and he does excellent work.  Those are the things it takes to get to where he is.

Sometimes you run into a deal you can't pass up,it never hurts to have a spare anything.I have several tractors but can only run one at a time.A stationary and a  portable mill is the best of boath worlds.Frank C.

Without dipping into Jake's business too bad, I can tell you that the recession had something to do with this latest purchase.  Because of it, his stationary business slacked up and left him enough time to address the portable business that the recession opened up.  He was in position to do this because of his hard work and good business practices before the recession hit.  Did anybody besides me notice the time of day when he started this thread?
