    At first I didn't know what you were doing, putting up the unedged boards on the wall...But then I saw how you were closing the gaps...I like it very much..When you are cutting your own logs, you don't have to worry so much just how much wood your using for a project...I like it a lot, and very well done.

    *Nicely done, Sir. Clever, cunning, quick and inexpensive. I do like the LOGOSOL sawmill you got yourself, smart! And i REALLY Liked the LOGOSOL Smart Pusher, too! It is so obvious once you see it, right? Much the same as the old 200 year old post and beam cow barn i grew up with, except they use white pine edge cut wood a foot wide and set side by side so the barn would breath. They were taken from trees that would produce more than 36 inch "wash boards trim" for the bottoms of the farmhouse rooms. Timber back then was all original growth and huge stuff.*

    My dad build his house out of fresh cut Hemlock lumber. Easy to nail into and cut then after years the wooded dried out and the nails will not pull out. So it was a sturdy and durable house. Still standing after all these years. Built in 1950. Great job there.

    Dad would have loved your channel. He would have liked to have had that mill too. As a young kid I went in the woods every weekend and help him cut his own wood to build our weekend cabin. He cut every stick. But he had a local sawmill cut the lumber for him. Then he would bring it home and stack it up in the driveway and let it dry.

    Mr. Straarup, as I watched this, I marveled how simply you did the hard work I fret over, loading a trailer with logs looks easy when you do it, one question comes to mind as I watched you cut boards, since that is actually a chainsaw chain, could you or not cut boards in BOTH directions, as in saw is going away from you and when it is coming back to you? Just wondering if the drive mechanism is set up to do that.

      Hi Ben
      Thanks, I try to do as little work as possible :-) I haven´t tried to saw both ways, I think it will be a mess because the saw then will push the log away from the contact face of the sawmill. There is not much holding the log that way. Also all the sawdust wil then cover logs waiting to be sawn.

You shed is basically this technique (your battens are larger but the idea is the same). So if it's worked for 100s of years it's certainly good enough for me!
