my intro

Ralph · February 29, 2012, 07:35:37 PM

hey all, i'm ralph from statesville nc. it all started about 3 years ago. i took down a walnut tree in my yard and was looking for someone to saw it up. i found two guys[twins] that had a homemade bandsaw mill. i was fasinated by that thing. they even had a seat attached and rode back and forth. i said to myself, self, you gotta get one of them. so i researched sawmills and got an lt15. i really like it. just saw for my own needs mostly but have sold a little lumber. just cutting frameing lumber now for a SAWSHED. we love them sawsheds dont we? cut mostly pine oak walnut. not to good at telling one tree from another. but i do know pine oak walnut. when i have some time i ride my hd. i have been on this forum reading and learning all i can.even solved a couple issues i was having with my mill and chainsaw. even had a log on there that was to big. but i gotrdone. next hydraulics.......
