Hey Lyle...

Great looking mill my friend. Any chance you could throw up a few pictures of the area under the blade, specifically where the drag chain goes under the blade? I've been following your build and have made numerous direction changes with my own mill based on your decisions. I sure am glad you made the correct ones.

Thanks for sharing your 'journey'

Its a good feeling Lyle when everything comes togather and works,but I'am sure you would give it no rest until everything was right.Now its just a matter of you getting used to milling and building a routine.Before you send the log through the saw eyeball everything for clearance and be sure the log won't shift on the carriage.

Hey Lee, here is a few pics of the sawdust removal system. I hope this helps you for your mill. If you dont know already I worked on this mill with very little money, I used up dang near every piece of scrap iron I had on the place..lol
There is lots of improvments I want to make once or if I make some money with it. I didnt have any fancy tools to work with, my basic tools were a welder, cutting torch and a grinder.. Here is my EMAIL iffin you want to email me.... I will put it in a code so the spammers dont get it, Im sure you will figure it out.......my name at hot mail dot com

 :D Oh I wouldn't be too concerned about using up all the scrap iron .I'd imagine unless you change your ways you'll have another 100 tons before too long .

Nice job BTW .You now have earned the title JYD --junk yard dawg  ;)
