I’m beginning to realize just how often the sawmill and my nearly endless supply of pine logs are the answer. I need to make level platforms to hold the lumber pallets when stacking lumber. Easy! Two beams for each station, leveled with whatever I can find to take up the space, and in the shade next to the sawmill.

In the present time, these platforms are working out great. I’ve milled a dozen or so logs since implementing the beam platforms. It’s rewarding to look down the edge of a stack of lumber, and each layer looks straight.
