If you're anything like me you probably try things that others think are impossible. Now this isn't exactly rocket science here but it is something I wanted to try to see whether it was in fact possible. With a bit of planning and some help from my trusty Woodland Mills HM130max woodlander, I was able to get to work today making a 20foot beam for my new sawmill shelter. This beam is about 10feet longer than my sawmill will cut and so the challenge presented itself. Today I'm going to walk you through how I made this beam work despite my shortcomings on the sawmill. In a perfect world I would just buy two extensions for my sawmill but in this case in order to still utilize the woodlander trailer underneath my sawmill, I can only have one extension which wouldn't be enough length at a cut of only 16'11". Here lies the challenge I'm facing but I think it's nothing I can't handle....or at least that's my hope. Glad you're all here to see how this process works and to see just how "easy" it can be to take a long log and turn it into a nice timber beam. Here we go!
