hi all, names Jason. just joined as i need a new hobbie/intrest/pocket money. i live surrounded by hardwood forrest/rainforrest and see so much wast after they have logged, even on private property.
i cant stand wast and as i can no longer work full time need to find a way to use this resource. i have thought about portable mills but dont know if they are worthwhile for my situation so am here to learn.
cheers :2tsup:
G'day Jason and welcome to the cubby.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
When I saw your Forum name I thought you were a meatal worker!! Not that there is anything wrong with that.:D:D
Interesting idea that led you here. Congratulations for taking a positive attitude in your situation.
There are many things that can be done with smaller bits of timber. Of course you will need some tools and machinery. Have a look at the different forums that interest you, decide what may be feasible, and then look for appropriate machinery/tools. Don't need new machinery, plenty of good second hand stuphph out there.
haha, i am an EX boilermaker that has left the trade. does that make me an outcast???? :doh:.
at least i have the tools and skills to make some of my own jigs or even a small chainsaw mill. just joined up to get some ideas and advice.
thanks for the welcome :D
i forgot to mention i have access to way too much camphor laurel as farmers just want them gone
G'day Jason, hope you enjoy it here.
You should check out the SMALL TIMBER MILLING section, quite a few of us in there have portables mills and then there is also a few with chainsaw mills as well.
