Hmmph...I thought real men used a broad-axe and an adze. Gettin' dandified, Arky?  

 

[Ozark Wizard]

That'll be handy to have around! Those aren't cheap either! Nice score...

 

[Blackhorse]

Does it have a motor and blade...or is it a chainsaw type mill?

 

[Richard Burley]

Curiosity, as usual, got the better of me.

Looks simple enough! What could go wrong? A nice level spot to set up, a loader to put the logs on, water, gas and a strong back to tote those boards and you're set!

Make sure to wear plenty of safety gear though, and keep the sawdust cleared away so you don't stumble.

As someone who lives way above the tree line where two by fours cost an arm, a leg and a left testicle, I approve this purchase.

I could pretty much lose an arm just looking at something like that.

Infinite respect for those of you who can, you know, do stuff for yourselves.

Being a senior member of the Frequent Stitches Club at our local hospital's emergency room , I can relate.

Oh, my! Be very careful, young fella. At one time, lumbering and all the jobs associated with it were right at the top of the Dangerous Oocupations list. Very best of luck to you.
