Summer Days Steve cuts cedar boards on the portable sawmill

Step 1. Find a log from the pre-shaved pile...

...or from a rougher pile from the woods.

Step 2. Roll that baby onto the sawmill's platform.

Step 3. Brace it up.

Step 4. Measure the depth of the blade.

Step 5. Cut a flat side on the log so it will stay in place.

Step 6. Make a cut.

Step 7. Measure how much wood you can get from it.

Step 8. Keep cutting.

Step 9. And cut some more.

_Done! Just like cheese slices! Next it goes to a regular saw to cut it down for nice cedar trim. This batch was used to frame windows!
