    Default The BIL Mill build photo album

    Sorry to thrash over old ground but a while back I had a couple of requests to redirect forum members between the various BIL mill build threads and I said I would make up an album of (64) photos showing the making of the whole thing. From "go" . . . . . to "slabs".

    It's here http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...php?albumid=64

    Is there anyway to rearrange the photos in reverse order?

    Thanks Fellas, Having benefited from a lot of help on-line I'm happy to help anyone and share the joy.

    RE: How long do you recon it took to design and make?

    I researched the design across the web over a period of a couple of months (April - May 2007) and got a lot of useful advice from some north american alaskan millers. The basic ally frame was cut and welded on two Saturdays while the rest of the construction, cams, knobs, handles etc construction took place whenever I had a chance to put in an evening over a 10 week period. During that time I also went OS for 5 weeks which is another reason why it took so long. At that stage I was in no hurry - I only had two guaranteed logs to mill - now I have more logs lined up than I can poke 20 sticks at.

    I know I have heard this before but it's the tool/jig that works every bit of how I dreamed it would.
