Carl and Alls new sawmill adventure.
few piccys of our new sawmill currently undergoing major reconditioning.
Gibson air cartridge head saw (canadian) missing its bottom blade she runs a 52" and a 48" to cut logs up to 1.4m diameter and is capable of over 10m lengths.

live chains where the perfectly sawn boards are sorted for stacking

a setup like this should be able to process 100-200 cube of log a week comfortably we are hopeing to get about 50 a week out of it and take it easy.

So where's the set-up Carl?
50 cube a week may be taking it easy milling, but I assume you are then going to try and source the timber too, so the 50 cube is in your spare time eh

There are two happy days when you buy a stationary saw mill. The day you buy it and the day you sell it

Expected recovery??
Hi guys.
Good to see your'e biting off more than you can chew, then chewing like hell! Without knowing a single thing about your new mill, do you expect to get the same recovery from logs as the Lucas mill? Just wondering if your 50 cubes of log per week will end up with the same stack of boards in terms of quality and quantity.
Cheers
James
PS Can I see a photo of your loader that will load in a log that is 10m long and 1.4m diameter!?

Nice one lads but I'd hate to be the one to have to break it all down, chuck it in the back of the ute and carry it into customers side gate
