Today’s job was in Glastonbury. It’s nice to get some jobs closer to home. Bob apparently has many interests. He’s got a property in a residential neighborhood with a fair sized orchard on it, and a big red barn. It’s all very picturesque, but I forgot my camera.
He had some oak logs that he wanted milled into 1” and 2” boards.
After 2 1/2 hours, we were getting close to the end of the log pile when I lost the ability to move the head forward or backward. It didn't take long to trace the cause to the electric motor that drives the head movement. It had seized up, so we were done for the day.
A call to Wood-Mizer on Monday sent a replacement motor heading my way that same day with no questions asked. It arrived on Thursday, which gave me plenty of time to install it before the next weekend's milling.
We are a portable sawmill service based in Coventry Connecticut serving the entire state, and this is our web log (blog). Here we post notes and pictures about some of our milling jobs, and other significant events in the life of our sawmill and business.
