First time under the Sun…..and the last I hope.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

The opening to my mill is only 13'-6". I took on a job consisting of nothing but 14, 16, and 20 foot logs. (White Oak).
So I finally bit the bullet and pulled the mill outside.
Sure felt strange sawing under the sun.

David, might want to rub her down with some Hawaiian Tropic... maybe a SP 50.
Else she'll turn a nice pale, boiled crawfish color like Magicman's.

I hope ya didn't get yerself a sunburn..lol Can you show me a better pic of how you mounted your forks on your backhoe?? Thanx in advance

[Magicman]

Actually you did not have to move the sawmill.  After you pushed the first 20 footer through that opening, the rest of them would have fit easily.

A job with nothing but 16 and 20 foot white oak logs would be a reason for me to keep the sawmill in the shed :D and put up a "do not disturb" sign :D

I have lived by that motto for 3 years but this job is for one of our farmer friends redoing hay wagons.  :

[clww]

Still looks orange. ;)

[Ga Mtn Man]

If I'm not mistaken this is your first mobile job.  Don't forget to charge for the mileage. :laugh:

[Red Clay Hound]

You keep sawing outside you'll have to get you a Magicman umbrella like I did

   Ya and better repack the wheel bearings before putting back

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Red Clay....you need a head light.  ;D

[hackberry jake]

Careful. I hear them WM mills start turning their TRUE COLOR when left outside too long  ;)

Poston, that ain't my truck. :D  Belonged to the customer - worked great for haulin' off slabs, though.  Typical farm truck around these parts.

I'very been sawing 16'and 20' Bur oak decking, and it hasn't been that much fun at all. Especially the 20', positioning is critical so you have room on both ends of the log, and the board drag back doesn't work because it doesn't clear the end of the log to hook it. Mine had sat a year and was starting to get dry, and man it is hard on blades. A blade per log >:(

[JoeB]

Howdy, look's like a "clam shell" on that Case, "Da**ned Kids" !

[tule peak timber]

Poston, is that a tarp in your mill building for sawdust collection? Just noticed it in your first pic, this morning. I assume you drag it out to dump ? Rob

[Magicman]

Poston will say yes, but he seldom tells the truth. 

Actually that is a sawdust covered dance floor where he has been practicing his dance moves trying to be accepted into the troupe.   I doubt that he makes it because he "skins" so easily.   ;D

[tule peak timber]

Heck, I still like disco....Shows what I know  ;D
