Building a milling station. Milling boards with a bar mill 2022. [super ...

As building materials increase in cost, and the economy worsens, I began milling more and more logs into building lumber. While it is still not cheap to do, taking into account gas and oil and wear on the saw, it has saved me in the cost and trouble of hauling lumber up to the homestead.
Plus there is the satisfaction of doing it yourself.
Recently I built a milling station, were I can mill my logs more efficiently, and more importantly.... with greater comfort on my back.
Here is a video of the construction of the milling station. I hope you enjoy....

What homestead would be complete without good a good flashlight. Living in a relatively primitive cabin, I rely on flashlights and headlamps year around. 

In an effort to reduce my relance on AA and AAA batteies I have made the switch to the higher tech USB rechargeable lights. 

The Thrunite TC15 and TC15v2 are my latest lights.... Watch the video and see if they will have a place in your pack, or on a hook at the head of your bunk!
