Hi Guys

Just bought a WM lt-15 and have been learning how to operate it this week. So far, so good. I'll post some pics.

You have a good mill, it will cut some fine lumber. Have fun.

I'm in western Montana. I have a few acres of pine and fir. I'm planning on building another cabin and would like to use my trees to do it. I also make some "rustic" furniture. I had a friend make me a log arch to move logs around. also just built a gantry style lift to move logs on and around the mill. I don't have any previous experience with milling so it's a definite learning curve. I'll try to get some pics in this post.

You are certainly moving right along with some great ideas.  It's quite obvious that you are going to do OK.   8)
