Comments (12)Considering the fact that us bears are lazy, I probably make it sound like a more miserable experience than it really is. :0) The one I used was basically a trailer and could be towed anywhere. For setup, you extended several supports to take the load off the axle springs. This leveled the mill and steadied it for use. For use away from the shop where we didn't have the forklift, we setup the mill on site, and used the ramps to load logs. Just set the ramps up, and use a winch on the tow vehicle to drag the logs up the ramps onto the mill. There was an optional winch available for the mill but we already had the truck winch. At the shop we had supports setup at the same height as the mill bed. We could use the forklift to load several logs onto the supports and then just use a cant hook to roll them onto the mill. To operate the mill effiecently you need at least two people. One to operate the mill and one to stack lumber and other chores. But it's still hard work, and like I said, us bears are lazy. If you're up to the hard work you won't have any problem. Bandmilling prices around here range from $125 to $200 per 1000bf.

Comments (24)Thank you all for your advice! I still think they are beautiful with my existing kitchen but may not work once the granite is installed.I guess I'm feeling old but I remember having them made 18 years ago when we built our house and that feels like yesterday. I swore years ago that I would never let my house become dated (as my parents' house became because I was into design and they weren't) Well everything becomes dated and you just don't notice! As a poster suggested, it's worth keeping them until everything is in, but I do have a good friend who wants them. I do agree it might be nice to see how the "naked"windows look. The granite has a lot of movement and might be too much with them. Bill1, that was an interesting comment about what I meant by vintage. I think vintage was the wrong word. I like a country french look if that helps. EMH101, the sink is by Whitehaus. It is a single bowl 30 inch fluted white sink. Go to the vintage tubs website. There were many many positive reviews so I thought I would take a chance. Actually the price ($535!) was so appealing and the sink is so pretty that I felt I had nothing to lose. The Rohl apron front was more and they have stopped making the fluted one. It was an easy decision because the fluted one was the one I had to have. I had considered the Rohl and the Kohler undermounts (fireclay and cast iron respectively) I will say that two plumbing stores both highly recommended fireclay (Rohl)over the Kohler. Apparently fireclay can dent and cast iron can stain so both have some issues. I have had a cast iron white Kohler for 18 years and it's fine today. I did order the protective SS grid for the Whitehaus sink. And I ordered everything online and saved $150 on the sink....See MoreWhy do the &@(*@^ lumber mills round off the corner edges of studs?
Comments (20)"Have you noticed...2X4s are no longer 2X4?" Old news; it's been that way for decades, including the framing in the 1930s addition to my house. You have to buy sawmill lumber to get full size, and that comes with a lot of variations. The main part of my house was built circa 1870 out of sawmill yellow poplar, and no two studs are exactly the same size, and spacing varies randomly between them from about 22" to over 25". Something I have noticed is that plywood is no longer the nominal size. The thickness is about 1/32" less than nominal. Only certain grades of 1" plywood, for example, is the full 1". Something that frustrates me is to get started on a project and take a while to finish it, or maybe put off the final touches for for a couple of years. Run out of a piece of material and and go to get some more when I finally get round to finishing the job. Or try to repair or modify something that was built 10-20 or more years ago. Buy some new material that is supposed to be the same size, and find it's slightly smaller than what I bought before, requiring shimming and trimming to make it match and fit. Funny, the new stuff is never slightly too large; it's always too small. Reminds me of the ever-shrinking width of toilet paper....See Morejaxkats
