That was fun. Lego for adults. Took about half a day to assemble the head, much of that hauling it back out of the back of the barn to turn it around and getting it out of the steel crate it came in and onto this pallet.
That's the sawmill head assembled. The tracks will have to wait as any good weather will mean work on the house foundation instead.
Looks good and apart from one nut having falling out of a broken bag and a few minor documentation niggles the thing is pretty impressive so far.
Probably will be a while before the first cut as the house renovation takes priority.
This is what those two laid down concrete power pylons were for, in case it wasn't obvious.
