Here is the start of my new kiln. The doors are from a real kiln that was used to make bath room fixtures. I bet they weigh 300 lbs. Had to set them with the backhoe.

Wondering if anyone would catch that. It works very well for studs and I have lots of it.

Looking good there Jim! Heavy doors!
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

Nice build and hinges.  Many times, good hinges make the door seals work.  So you shouldn't have any trouble there.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

So now I need a building to put dry lumber in. Will it ever end.

And then next you will need a sign that has a flashing red part that tells when you open.  Then you will next need a bank to keep all your money...etc.

Bank? Don't need one. I have a sawmill to put my money in.

I hear deposits are easy but withdrawals can take substantial advanced notice...
