  • We need a boat load of 2x6s for an upcoming project so Kelly and I fire up the sawmill to produce some lumber. We were able to get three decent sized logs out of one poplar tree.

    I see who the real worker is around the farm. Boy its a good thing Kelly is such a good sport or you would be in big trouble Troy. You might not be good at math but you still do a pretty good job at sawing.

    I double-checked your math Troy: 5.5" + 5.5" - OOPS = 10". You're right!

    4" grinder works great to sharpen your saw blades , I sharpen mine right on the sawmill LM2000 , I use a setter that is for an ol cross cut saw works great

    you should start sawing from the small end of the log

    I've heard/read that if you want to stop the checking on the ends, either seal them or double sticker each end and the checking will stop at the second sticker.

    Takes a lot of figuring when milling lumber Troy. That Kelley is a good Off Barrer/Fork Truck operator/ Lumber Stacker, shes definitely a keeper. A good sawyer can make or break production yeilds in the Lumber industry. Your Mill does a good job. Very little waste with a band mill. 👍👍👍

    How good is poplar lumber for decking. How do you take care of it as decking.

    how will poplar hold up to weather? I have a ton and just got a mill. Trying to figure uses for Poplar and hard or sugar maple.

    Now that it's been two and a half years how are those boards holding up? Poplar isn't known for its rot resistance

    If yoi were almost poor, starting a homestead from scratch, would the Harbor Freight sawmill be a viable option?
