Then piled the stuff up and let it grow up. Clearing it off and moving the scrap to another location and building the sawmill there now.

After starting to clear the area, remembered that was where I had planned on putting the saw mill when I cleared it the last time.

Had to come back to get more fuel for the tractor and meself. Had not realized that the junkyard had grown up quite so much.

After a couple of hours on the tractor clearing brush, briers, and small trees, can at least see some of the stuff I am trying to get to.

Now to go look at the piles of scrap and see what I’ve got to build this monster out of.

Looks like a $6 difference in cost between 13′ 6″ and 17′ blades so thinking 36″ fixed length and adjustable idler side blade guide.

Guess if I make one wheel (moble home axle and wheels) movable can just change blade sizes as needed for larger or smaller logs.

Now to figure out a few more specifics and get started on construction. Big thing is whether to make it so it will cut 36″ or 24″ clear.

Thinking (again) about building a sawmill. Bandsaw mill to be more precise. Got the general design in my head and most of the bits to do it.
