works fine here, but I've gotten black boxes before too.


seems like a lot of work to me

 

Yeah, milling is a lot of work.
I thought it was an interesting method for smaller logs.

 

Thanks papa, I'm sure it's on my end & internet, and if I did get it, it would take several days or weeks to download
I'm not equipped for those new fangled "moving pictures"

 

It's an interesting concept. I'd curious if that is normal for cut speed. Is the wood going to hold up? Don't know why he didn't make it outta some steel square tubing. I know moving out would suck then.

 

I think it was a prototype or proof of concept. Made of steel might be a tad heavy for the way he was using it.
Looked like a fairly small saw with a not so sharp chain.

 

First off I cringed as he was "prepping" the dirty side. I'm sure his chain thanked him.
Anyone with milling or even cutting experience knows what a little bit of dirt does.
I would love to see a 10-20 footer done like that.
