Making a Ramp for the Big Mill

I heard from an owner of a Big Mill Basic the other day about his use of the Big Mill. Gary, from New Jersey has been cutting up logs from trees in his neighborhood in New Jersey that have come down and is loving using the Big Mill to mill these logs into lumber. He included in his email a picture of his setup in a recent email. He told me in his email:

" I love the fact that I can get my hands on wood with out spending money that I don't really have. Right now I'm finishing up some walnut that a tree guy dropped off for me, it's really a joy to see the grains come alive after you make your cut."

From his picture you can see that he has built a ramp for logs to rest on so he can then take them apart with his Big Mill. Building this ramp makes it easier to operate the Big Mill since it puts the work at the right height. You can work the Big Mill standing up, rather then bending over to work the saw. This can make a big difference if you are doing more than one log occasionally. The ramp allows you to take the log up in steps, rather than having to roll the log up a steep incline without resting. You just take it up one step using a cant hook, and then can rest, roll it to the next step and then take it up to the next level.

The plans for this ramp are on the website: http://www.logosol.info/media/_pdf/US/big_mill_system_log_ladder_gb_060120.pdf
