Re: Howdy Fellars
Good to hear from you again. I and others have wondered what had become of you. That sawmill is set up like one a good friend of mine has down here in N.Florida . He built a good sized house from the lumber that he made on that mill. Next time I`m out there I`ll take some pictures and post em. Sure ain`t stoppin by Home Depot for lumber is it?

Re: Howdy Fellars
What a tinker, how do you get the belt to track on the tire?
I used to work in U/G coal mines; I know what a chore tracking can be....
And how does the chip chain work? Looks cool.
Back to U: Lord help if it ever comes off. Our Fiendly neighborhood safety folks (no acronyms mentioned) would go NUTS
I think the whole rig is innovative, just please be very careful. My Dad's 12" Mall Saw (handheld) kicks back like a mule. It's worm drive.

Thanks, a old car tire has a crown to it which keeps the belt on, works great.
The sawdust chain has paddles on it and just carries it too the pile, fast huh.

Re: Howdy Fellars
Glad to see you are doing OK. I was so disappointed to see that that the saw mill was not powered by a steam engine. Anyway, always inspired by your endeavers and that wife.
Re: Howdy Fellars
Thanks, steam would be fun but a hassle, I used to have a few oil field engines I wish I would of tried on it.ROBOPUMP wrote:Glad to see you are doing OK. I was so disappointed to see that that the saw mill was not powered by a steam engine. Anyway, always inspired by your endeavers and that wife.
