    New take on a 3 point carryall

    Here is a little project I just completed. I was wanting something different than my old "standby" 3 point carryall and I settled on this. I started with a used jobox I bought off marketplace and had some 3" channel and other scrap steel laying around. I started cutting, grinding, welding and...

    sawmill platform? What to use?

    My old Baker bandmill was built just like yours, I could cut up to a 28” diameter and about 16’ long. I had the track mounted on treated 6x6 posts and I forked my mill head in/out of my shed when need to mill something. I sold it at the beginning of summer and bought a new Woodland Mills that...

    Base for Sawmill

    Mine is still crated and stored in my shed…too many other projects and family stuff going on. Plus the fall fishing hasn’t been too bad. Now we have deer season coming up. Looks like springtime before I assemble mine. I have been accumulating parts for a trailer build though.

    DIY Concrete stain

    I’m looking to stain my workshop foundation. I have acid stained my home’s basement and garage floors…looks great, but don’t want to spend the $$ for that on a shed foundation wall. I have used a mixture of 50/50 of used motor oil and diesel on trailer decks for years and it works great...

    Sawmill Trailer build

    I‘ve decided to go a different route on the trailer build and look for some heavier material. I had a Baker Wood Buddy bandmill for years, it served me well. The Woodland Mills is a much “nicer” unit if set up correctly. I don’t plan on building my trailer too tall.

    Sawmill Trailer build

    I am contemplating building a trailer to mount my bandsaw mill on. I ran across a deal on some 3” C Channel 1/4 “ thick. I was planning on using the channel for the long main beams as well as the cross members. I’m assuming it would be sturdy enough. The mill and track itself weighs less...

    Base for Sawmill

    Nice looking base. I just sold my old Baker Wood Buddy and took delivery of a new HM122. Haven‘t even opened the box yet. I’m trying to decide if I want to try my hand a welding and build a trailer.

    Scut with mid mount mower

    I went through this about 2 years ago. The wife wanted a smaller hydrostat she could drive. I didn’t really want two machines to have to maintain. So I sold my 35 year old JD and bought a CUT with a MMM. I only mow an acre, but use my loader and tractor weekly. I can mow faster with the CUT...

    Insurance Rant!

    Wow, time for renewal and my homeowners went up 37% and autos up 55%. Never had a claim on either. Time to start shopping around…..may have to sell a kidney to pay!
