Been there, done that. A smaller scale, but yes, I've done that. Haven't we all?!?!

grweldon · July 02, 2012, 01:56:17 PM

I've only had my mill for two weeks (+ or -) and I've already done it!

davch00 · July 02, 2012, 03:20:33 PM

I done it on the second or third log I put on my mill...and that's about when I started thinking I should have gotten a bigger one.

Todd · July 02, 2012, 03:26:21 PM

it doesn't matter how big the mill is..you'll find a log that won't fit that you REALLY want to mill ;D

Klicker...That's a nice old feller you got there. arm over your shoulder and all. looks like he's well fed too! ;)

She is a Nova Scotia Duck toller. If she see a bird she is gone. She is a rescue dog so she is still learning. She loves the pond behind the house so if she takes off I know where to look. Rod

Good on getting your pics in the gallery. And very good on the video. I like.

Now, if you go to your post and "modify" it, you can put the pics in rather than just the link.

When you click on a pic, while in 'post' mode, then scroll down to find the 'button' that is blue and when clicked will pop up a window asking yes/no. Click yes and the pic is in your post.
To see what is coming, click the preview button and check that it is the way you intended it to be.

Thank you, that looks much better.

Welcome to the Forestry Forum. Nice looking pics of the logs and your mill. I looked at your map and noticed your almost in Myrtle Beach.

I am no expert on tree species but I think it is Loblolly or yellow Pine. I don't think red pine grows in NC does it?

WDH · July 08, 2012, 09:17:23 PM

It is loblolly by golly ;D.

I don't know why but the link to my public photo gallery goes to someone named 'unknown coward'. I am pretty sure that the gallery number is correct in my profile.
