Hi guys, I am a new guy here but not to sawing logs. I come from a family sawmill 45 years old. I am planning to build a bandsaw mill, using some ideas from...
Sounds like your going to have a blast. Good luck and have fun. ... From: "BOB & CINDY WRIGHT" <aametalmaster@...> To: <milling@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
what are your end goals? the band manufacturers recommend against the 3 wheel thingy, it stresses the blade more, but if you're cool with that, then have at ...
I understand the blade stress due to the smaller diameter of the wheels, but i don't think a 1" wide blade will be that stressed. Plus i have a blade...
true, true I got started in this mess when hurricane isabel blew over a poplar tree in a friend's yard. (you're truly thought it was an oak, which makes all...
Dan, I am in Salem Ohio, I have a 100cc Echo chainsaw i was going to make a chainsaw mill from but i hate wasting all that wood with the big kerf. Plus i like...
there are losts of blade technology/metalurgy sites on the net, i read them for nearly five years then bought a norwood which was stolen by an ex-business ...
Yep i will read up on this. My design is not carved in stone. I can make changes. I know how hard it is getting a blade out of a big chunk of tool steel. I...
Just read a bunch of info, 3 wheels are out and also wheels under 14" in dia. Guess i will make bigger fabricated steel wheels or go with the trailer...
that cooks saw looks a lot like a timber harvester, do you detect some skull duggery here? always trying to re-inent the wheel when someone else is out there...
Gang, I have a very serious issue! I sawed up over 1000 board feet of Ponderosa Pine last weekend, stickered and stacked it in the drying shed, and left it to...
I found good guides to be the biggest asset; however, I was told that a bigger wheel diameter would increase my bands Feet Per Minute (FPM)'s. I think you...
You need to get sunlight to the lumber to kill the mold... I reccomend a dryer place. I stack my own in the upper part of an old barn. The old dry wood sucks...
Dave, can you get it to a kiln? You need to get it dry ASAP, to kill the mold. Ponderosa dries very fast, so a kiln operator should be willing to take it,...
I also think it was caused by not enough airflow across the stack. Air drying lumber isn't as easy as it seems, as too much air flow early on is just as bad as...
Harley, Somewhere I saw a planer blade for a Peterson of a Lucas I can't remember which. Have you ever tried one? if so what did you think of it. Thanks, ...
Hi Guys, I mill with an Alaskan and I am getting tired of filing my milling chain (32" bar) by hand. What is the best grinding tool for this purpose? Regards ...
I love my "Nick the Grinder" which I got at Harbor Freight. It has been written about extensively on this group, so search on those key words for more info......
... stickered ... much ... Blue staining is caused by the wood hosting (i.e. being slowly eaten by) a blue staining mushroom species. Some species of mushroom...
I slab first, and then edge later, not for any dimensional change advantages, but because I'm always too tired to edge them the same day! And no, the wood can...
And if you aren't in a hurry, Nick often goes on sale at HF for around $60-$70. It's been on sale at least 3 times in the last 9 months. *********** REPLY...
i have had mould on my pine for years in a dry place and it came off 1/8" thick with a large scraper, not a blemish in colour at all. problems only exist when...
I think the big issue is that mold is hard to kill. Even bleach water can sometimes miss some spores. UV rays kill most of the mold, and ozone is quite good...
you can get a router surfacing attachment from woodwizz and lucas for you lucasmill, they work great and at $3,000 each you can surface a huge slab in 10 ...
I just got my Harbor Freight sales flyer yesterday and the Chinese version of Nick the Grinder is on sale in their Kansas City area stores for $49.99. It is...
Thanks Harley I'll look into the router surfacing attachment. What I saw seemed to be on the order of an ordinary blade. I believe the price was around...
