It's a bandsaw mill, but I occasionally need to use an Alaskan style mill to square up logs that are too big.

I have small foundry capable of casting aluminum, and I have plans to find a spot to build a proper cupola furnace that enables casting iron.



Sorry, I meant a kiln for the wood :)


Lol... I should have got that.... I do not have a wood drying kiln, but I have a small shelter where I stack boards over the winter. It ends up bone dry by the next year when I am ready to use it.

I have thousands of board feet waiting to be milled, so I plan on building a larger lumber drying "shed" at some point with some of the resulting boards.


My fear with strictly air drying is bugs, but wood usage is primarily indoor furniture and fine woodworking. Have you had any issues with that?
