G Day and a Big timber Hi from Iowa
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

My timber is anything free!
My ale is any Coopers or Boags Strongarm Bitter.
My vino is a good full bodied Australian Shiraz.

Welcome aboard, OneOfTheLongestUserNamesWeHave.
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
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 JerseyCheers,
Ed
Do something that is stupid and fun today, then run like hell !!!

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 .
