Thanks for the comment, Jeff. The sawdust just goes to compost, and the slabs go for firewood. I am working on a project to fuel the sawmill with sawdust (wood gasification).

You should take the 4x4's out of the center of the log where the most knots are. I set a trailer next to the mill to load all the firewood onto. Instead of having to pick it up again. And I build pallets to load the lumber onto right off the mill, and sticker as I go. Saves handling the lumber over and over.

After doing this for a few years as a hobby I gotta say that this vid really should be the first thing anyone watches before going out to cut. my first pieces of lumber look just like the junk pieces here in the video because I didn't know about stickers. but this vid is no joke, stickers are quite valuable and always seem to be an afterthought. planning not just the cuts but where the lumber will be stacked is super important.

[@daveboyt6810]

[@beebob1279]

I'm watching all his videos. We are picking up a portable mill (kind I'm not sure) maybe a harbor freight ? Have over 30 cherry logs to mill and really have no way to get them to a mill. Haven't been able to fine a portable mill to come to the property to do the work. Then I don't have a mill sitting in my yard. I've thought about the portable chainsaw mill and just do a log or two every week when I'm up the property. Maybe a better idea for what I'm doing.

[@AD-vw8xu]

@@beebob1279 I use a portable mill. Its great for doing the occasional slab on weekends. I like that it doesn't take up much space. The band saw mill probably produces better lumber with less waste. It also seems way more efficient.

[@beebob1279]

@@AD-vw8xu I ended up getting the small Alaskan saw mill. I milled over 900 board feet of Cherry over the summer. I takes no room in the basement. It did a great gob. I was more worried that my Stihl Chainsaw wouldn't last the work. It ran like a charm. The only thing that went was the ripping chains. I went through two of them to finish the job. I've got the boards stickered on the porch. The only thing I'm waiting for now is the lumber to dry and keep the squirrels from nesting in it.

[@spitfireresearchinc.7972]

This was excellent- so much good advice! For my first project I rented my neighbour with his portable mill, and that was my chief frustration: he was cutting lumber so fast that there was no time to cut stickers and do a decent pile- everything had to be re-stacked afterward which was a lot of manual labour. Now that I have my own mill, my practice logs and anything short because it's too crooked will end up as blocking and stickers, and I'll always have them on hand. Piled on a pallet- that's just idea. But I'll match my drying pile width not to my loader forks, because my machine is too light to lift anywhere near the tip of the forks anyway. I'll match my piles to the width of a single piece of sheet metal roofing. You can still throw slabs on top for extra weight, but metal roofing keeps the water out of the pile with certainty.

[@andrewstafford-jones4291]

We use steel banding on all the through and through sawn logs. Normally banded every metre or so to: Reduce splitting Keeps boards flatter stops stacks falling apart during drying Makes moving complete sawn logs easy, especially when being re-sawn. Oh yes, sometimes the timber will snap the bands !! - when it moves, nothing will stop it. We just paint a number on both ends of the logs in whatever paint we have and its recorded in the stock book ( and the computer) Stenner VBQ60 60" wheels running 6-9" bands.

[@daveboyt6810]

Good idea. It would also make the stacks easier to move and stack. Do you tighten the bands as the wood dries & shrinks... maybe drive in wedges?

[@andrewstafford-jones4291]

@@daveboyt6810 No we don't bother unless the log is falling apart making it difficult to move, then we re-band it. Oh and forgot to mention, we always stack the new logs in the shade of a building or under cover for the 1st 6 months if we can (Hardwoods only)
