This honey locust log came from my neighbors in the back of my house. It was getting too big and the condo corporation in the back of my house decided to cut it down to avoid it from damaging houses in the wind storms we were having. I heard the chainsaw noises and decided to go over and ask for the trunk. They ended up delivering the whole thing in my driveway! Glad this one didn't go to waste.
This is my whole milling process. Screw a metal ladder on top of the log, if it's not flat, then I cut the bark with something (small saw or axe) where the steps are just to make it sit right. Then set the mill to cut below the ladder. Also keep in mind to set it lower then the screws you out in the ladder to hold it. Once your first cut is done, take the ladder off and set the mill to your desired thickness. Then I just go until the log is done! I made blocks of wood to elevate the log and stabilize it. It's a 6 by 6 pressure treated block of wood with notches in them to hold the log. It helps to not have the log move around too much. If I have multiple logs to mill that day, I take the top off all my logs at the one after the other to not have to change the mill too often.
