Scott working on the saw in a 7 hour day cut 28 7x9-8 ties and 700 ft of 4/4 side lumber. I may have loaded some for him. That was with logs already trimmed to 8'8''. No chainsaw work.

That is pretty good. I saw him wrestling those ties. Bet he slept good.

He will be 22 on Tuesday. I have heard him tell his wife''I will rest when I'm dead''.

I think he has more energy than he should. He has had my dad and I helping him build a barn after sawing during the week. I call it his Johnny cash barn, as he took it home from the mill just 1 piece at a time!

So I found a circle mill that I am planing on going to look at this friday. Im taking a trailer and truck but thats just in case. Not set in stone Im buying but if all the parts are there and everything is remotely tight, I might be bringing back a 00 frick and a few extras ;)
Here are what pics I have of a few parts.

It looks like the only things there is no picture of is the power unit and the track, cable and pulley system. I like that it is on all steel.

I know a lot of folks , myself included, have set a circle mill up and sawed enough with it to heat the blade and cup it some because the power unit wouldn't keep up with feed speed. Help setting it up and learning to run it would have been very valuable to me. If it doesn't have a power unit and you can get 3 phase, go electric. More efficient and less expensive.

I got some pics of track and rest of it. Has a old moline power unit but it's to small and old to use day to day I believe. Where could I buy a good electric motor for cheap? What size would it need?

So for now Im working with what I have. Haven't found what Im looking for and plan to keep a eye out. So while I have this, I am going to make the best of it and do a little changing. I need to make it more suited for my needs. Here is what I have started.

Changed direction of mill in relation to placement in shed. As well as added a bed to roll cants off.

16' two strand log deck going in here, holes already punched.

Roller beds going out the building. Layed them out on the ground to get the idea. Building a nice frame to support them.

I know that you have been busy, but it's good to see you come back up for air.

How about updating your sawmill in your profile.   ;)

That is the stuff you need anyway. A lot of what you are doing will serve you well for years to come and help save your back some misery.

I find myself doing some fixing up on handling problems from time to time. It is time well spent.

Looking good.

Indeed a 510b! Im trying to find some specs on it and cant seem to find any. Im wondering on oil capacity. I plan to change all fluids tomorrow! Got it off the truck today and moved a big pile of dirt that has been stuck by the mill shed.
