Скачать или смотреть Silver Wattle Milling - CRACKED OPEN IN THE CENTRE!

Welcome to my first video. I've learnt a lot from YouTubers over the years and thought I'd put in my two bob's worth. I built my saw mill about 30 years ago and have never stoped building it - it's still a work in progress. 30 years ago I didn't have the luxury of copying other designs from social media and I suppose that's why my system is different from everyone else's.

I have a unique carriage system of holding the log in place and quickly rotating the log 90 degrees. The height control is also unique, I think.

In this video I mill a silver wattle log that I picked up from a property after the tree had died and blown over in the wind. I was surprised how heavy the timber was - but even more surprised when I got to milling the centre of the log and it cracked open.

In this video the weight of the log was a bit of a struggle for my backhoe. In the next video I'll demonstrate how adding a strapping system to the roll bar lets me lift heavier logs.
