Found a decent sized pine. Cut it down. Dragged it with my quad to the mill. Cut it into 3/4th boards for some short picket fences I started selling for gardens.

$2000 for a small mill.
Then you need a log arch or tractor to get logs. Cheap winch to load the logs.

Don't get me wrong, you can spend a lot more but I went with a pretty cheap mill and it works fine.

I've been manufacturing pikes the old fashion way. It's hard work. Hence fewer impalements. But if i can setup an industrial method of mass producing pikes, then we can increase impalements.

I also must continue to plant trees and allow new wild saplings to grow so that there is continuous supply.

How many cc?

Mine is a 266se model with 66cc. Lots of power for the size. The saw has lasted decades. I think they were manufactured in 1987. That makes my chainsaw almost 40 years old. Husqvarna used to be made in sweden

It's a 90cc. Bought it for chain saw milling but ended up getting a band sawmill

I actually cut down my first tree about 2 weeks ago. An almost dead plum tree that was about 10 meters tall. Went pretty well, I didn't die and it fell "more or less" where I wanted it to. Surprisingly difficult as it was slanted heavily.

Sometimes I just use the wood green, which is fine for a lot of things. Houses used to be built with green wood. Board and Batten for example is to hide the cracks when the wood shrinks.

If I don't use it right away I stack it with wood between it (stickers they call it) and let it dry outside on a pallet with old metal sitting on top. On a few months it's below 20% moisture with a moisture meter and it's good for most things...

OK. I found even pieces that I’ve left to dry and then I know I’ve been drying for at least 12 months still have a lot of movement.

That’s crazy that they used to build houses with Green wood. With the amount of twisting and cupping I’ve seen they must’ve been selecting better quarter sawn pieces or something because if it were anything like the garbage you find at big box Inc. Today you’d be six inches off the layout lines by end of the house build. Haha.

Well you know if you get the wood up green and you nail it down good it kind of holds it in place and you don't get so much cupping. And it also depends on the type of wood. I've got a few Bridges I made out of oak that was pretty green and only a couple boards have cupped out of dozens.

Maple cups pretty bad from my experience. The last pine I cut up didn't cup too bad
