Yesterday was absolutely beautiful here. It felt like mid spring, especially after weeks of grey skies.
The saw head had to come off the pallet first
I was able to get the sawmill off the pallet and all lined up. I had no idea how much would be involved in just uncrating it!
You can see in this pic from last week how compact it was. I was surprised to see that many of the components are actually installed backwards or upside down in order to make it easier to ship. So, I had to take it apart in order to put it together. All the components are also bolted to the pallet.
From the other day to show how it started out
Getting the feet installed
I was able to get the rails lined up with their feet installed with some blocks underneath so they don't sink into the ground.
All lined up with the legs on
The most harrowing moment was having to use the pallet forks to lift the saw head off the pallet. There is only millimeters of clearance before you hit the motor. This saw head was just swinging as it hung there. I have never driven the tractor so carefully. Another full day and I should have it operational.
Wifey keeping the sawmill from swimming violently while moving
Moving saw head

All the hand working logs is really impressive to me. I enjoy seeing people get it done in a simple fashion as well. I'm too old now to not use all the help I can muster :)

Me either, I have a whole list. But first I have to build a shed to put it in. This location is temporary so I'll have to do it all again.

Crazy thing was the only instructions were on a DVD so I was there with a laptop in the bright sun trying to watch it as I went.

Nice addition to the homestead! I want to get one but I do not really have a need for a sawmill. If I was building timber frame houses it would be feasible but we are building AirCrete.

Aircrete is awesome. I'd love to build something with it some day!

Thanks, I appreciate it. Yours looks great and ready to go. If I could keep the rain away I could get it done. Yesterday was the only dry day we've had in a long time.
