Here I'm milling a log with a mill I built using a 134cc 2-stroke 820 PowerBee motor. I had to manufacture the clutch assembly. The motor is equipped with carbon fiber reed valves, electronic ignition, and a 1" intake/carburetor. It's making about 17hp with a 2" exhaust. The bar is a 38" so I can mill a fairly wide log. I have some oak logs to do next for local winery.

Thanks Joseph,

Dad taught my brother and I at an early age about safety.  He became blind in one eye at an early age and always told my brother and I that, what ever job you plan to do ask yourself, how can I get hurt?  Using the mills I have and big chainsaws, I have to be very careful and wear the appropriate ppg.

 

Just picked up/cut another tree yesterday.  I won't mill it until I finish the mill I'm building that I will use for side trimming logs and for quarter sawing.  I've been stock piling wood I've been milling for the past two years.  Once I get past my third year of milling I will have plenty of wood for projects.  My grandson has been asking for him and I to build something else.  Don't know what yet...

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)

Hi.  I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing.  How effective is it?  It's adaptable to any router table.  Continue

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
