G'day mate and thanks. Sawing on/off for 15 years now. My wife got me the GB lumbermill for my 2nd CHRISTmas together! I got a mini mill for vertical cuts a few years ago. I am blessed to be surrounded by the smorgasbord of wood we have in East Tennessee. I will post some Poplar, SYP and White Pine pictures I milled a few years ago when I get a chance.

Sawyer
Well Mr Stihlsawer
You get my vote for the best dressed, most dapper sawyer I have seen on this forum yet. Who mills timber wearing a tie? Bravo Zulu that man.
Usually, it is gentlemen such as Bobl in his red overalls, covered with jarrah dust, beer in hand, in need of a haircut. (Bob, insert the usual piccy......here).
We need more pictures of milling, this forum has gone quiet.
Cheers
Willy

OK if you insist.

Overalls are blue - chaps are red, and SWMBO will dispute any notion of gentlemanship.

I assume that having an automatic mill like that you are only wearing chaps for warmth. Or are you practicing social distancing?

Stihlsawer, have to admit, you must be disarmingly fit to not break a sweat doing what must be the hardest of back breaking work there is.
Shirt, pants and tie! Man, just missing the monocle
Those are lovely big slabs.
Very nice indeed.

BTW I should add that picture of me sitting down with the beer was deliberately staged.
My engineer brother asked me for any OHS related pics that he could show to his team during the weekly mining site safety talks he was leading for his team - he also deliberately wants pics outside the usual stuff miners would see, stuff to get them talking . There were the usuals of "no ear muffs or hard hat", "Bend ze knees' , "over reaching", "up ladder without harness" etc and I threw that one in for a laugh. Its about the only time I've ever sat down while actually milling even though I often bring a chair with me so's I can sit while sharpening.
Even though that mill can cut by itself provided the log is on a slope usually I am standing up to the milll to;
- guide it around any lumps and bumps on the sides of logs.
- adjust aux oil flow
- insert wedges in kerf behind cut
etc.
The hardest part for me i not the actual milling but
- lifting the log rails off the van roof racks and on/off the log,
- lifting mill on and off the log
- moving the big slabs.
However, when I milled that log I had access to this (that's property owner Hud driving it on the left).
He has almost every attachment for that thing - what a lill' beauty it is for medium slabs but it also has an amazing reach S SHOW BY THE RIGHTMOST PIC.

PLUS Hud also has this for moving logs and slab packs around

At the Tree loppers yard we have this, and now they also have a large Bobcat type thing with forks and grapples

This gear and the Hiab capacities on the trucks limits what size logs can be brought back to the yard and that's the main reason why I've not been able to mill any wide and long slabs.
