Well after a long winter of cutting and welding steel I have finally finished my mill. It is a Linn Lumber 190-A model that I built from their plans. They are great to deal with BTW. I built the track last week and set the mill on it this weekend. Today I bought the DH kiln plans from Daren. I plan to start milling as soon as the kiln is built.

Way cool. You can bring that to my home if you want to. I don't mind. I know I can find a lot of pine and aspen around here, a good deal of it being free. LOL.

It looks great. I'm happy for you.

Yeah, that's pretty much the whole reason I went through the trouble of building this thing. I get 90% of my logs for free. I love me some quarter sawn oak !!!

I knew I should have taken shop class in high school instead that academic crap! Jealous! Love your machine. Gary

Damn, that's funny. I did take all the academic crap in school. I'm actually an IT specialist but like to build and restore things. I've been restoring muscle cars for about ten years. This gave me a tremendous edge on building my own mill. Now I just need to learn how to build furniture and cabinets with all the lumber I'm going to have.

Nice works. I shake his hand! Maybe it's just the beginning. What was the costs of
this band mill?

Thanks. Between the mill and the track I think I have around 4,000 - 4,500 USD in it.

I advise the screw pair on raise/lower assembly to protect against the sawdust. I did so

Look at this band mill. The costs of this band mill around $3000 or less
