I love seeing this. I’m looking to buy a mill in the spring, and maybe even start making content on UA-cam someday. Thanks for putting the work in and sharing your life with us!
It’s a metal u shaped with a knob that goes over the rails call a saw stop. Or a clamp works too. Just set up my 136max first cut is tomorrow!! So excited can’t wait!
Nice video! I recommend getting a 2x6 about 40" long to put across the rails. You can stand on it to fill the tank and also put it between the mill and 2nd bunk so it won't roll away.
Some good looking wood! You are going to have to have a plan for what to do with all your sawdust! A good use might be to dry up some wet trails you have. Will you be drying those inside one of your buildings? So many things you can make now for so cheap. Excited for you.
Thanks! Sawdust seems like the least of my worries... it helped today creating some traction on the ice. I do have plenty of room in the barn to dry, and there's decent airflow, so I believe that's my first trial location.
If you run your tape diagonally to make the tape read 12 inches instead of 11 inches you can eliminate math. 3 into 12 equals 4. Make your marks. Dear ole dad taught me that. Say you wanted rip plywood into 5 equal rips. You’d run your tape out to 50 inches diagonally across the piece and make your marks. 10 20 30 40 50
Wicked nice slab of maple wood you have there, sir! Can’t wait to see what you do with it! Thanks for the great content!
Thank you, Sir. Me neither!
Great stuff !
@@magustacrae Thanks!

My pleasure! It's been very rewarding for us. Go for it!
Nice! We have formed an appreciation for those funky maple pieces. Good move familiarizing yourself with the mill off camera !
Awesome! My wife's very excited about them too; just got to hurry up and wait for them to dry. Thanks!
Congrats on the new mill. I have the same one and love it. You are going to have a lot of fun with that machine.
Thanks! So far so good! I appreciate it.

Awesome! Thanks. I've since switched to an old c-clamp I had around. Have fun with that behemoth!

Great idea; thanks! 2x6s should be plentiful soon and sounds much safer. The stainless steel is a bit slick...
c-clamp or vise-grips on the track or carabiner in one of those holes in the track
All good ideas. I've still got the square in there; worked fine all winter. I'll have to take a look and see if those make more sense. Thanks!
