Ck'n back in hoping the mind numbing election noise has died down a bit.
I'm starting to build a small bandsaw mill so I can mill siding for my shop
and make wide plank hardwood flooring for my house (can't afford it unless I
make it). I like the plans and parts found @ www.linnlumber.com and plan on
buying some parts from them, just the machined stuff I either have
everything else in the stock/ scrap heap or can get it local...no sense in
shipping steel tubing across the country. Anyway I wanted to hear from the
RCM /RW crew on the subject especially if you have some experience. Also I
know I could find somebody with a portable mill to come over but I'm so sick
of the local talent not showing up (ect.) that I'd rather just do it myself
and besides it looks like a neat project.

Any Thoughts?

I bought the browning sheaves, bearings, and shafts from him years ago. I see he sells
kits now.

Uncle and I put something together that works for us. Not a lot of rigidity in our frame
so we crib it good so mother earth is the support and pay attention to leveling it.
