G Day and a Big timber Hi from Iowa

[walnutslabnut]

This is my first time here , and I'm not a blogger , I need help in a big way . I love black walnut and slab'em as big as I can get them . At most i get 34 inches from my homemade mill . I have logs up to 60 inches that will be figuered to high heaven .
My problem is I'm making a modified chainsaw mill , with a high horse briggs . I have the platform , for post head ajuster , but i havnt been able to strap a bar to it .
If anyone there has a diagram or knowledge of sprocket shaft allignment assembly please let me know .
Any and all help would be great . THanks

Welcome aboard, OneOfTheLongestUserNamesWeHave.:D

There's a subforum in TIMBER / SMALL TIMBER MILLING. The first (latest) page of threads should provide most of the info you seek about DIY mills.

Cheers,

Hi WSN (shortened it a bit) ...welcome:2tsup:

I agree that 60 inch wide highly figured are a lot better than those puny 34 inch run of the mill walnut slabs....feel free to ship 'em here to Jersey:U

I would all day long butt.... I make them into small furnishings , nothing big or bulky and oversized .lol

As for my ales and Lagers You might think America has lousy ones . But as a homebrewer myself . I have to say a creamy , frothy stout is the way to go . Even 100% humidity as long as it is Icy cold . Now for the odd one , I love the hops flavor in Old Mill . You might laugh but thats ok . Don't have an ale for a month , You will appreciate the flavor of this wonderfully spiced hops .
