I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you’d think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

    From Wikipedia:

    Sawyer is an occupational term referring to someone who saws wood, particularly using a pitsaw either in a saw pit or with the log on trestles above ground or operates a sawmill.

    Operator of a sawmill = sawyer.

    A 2x10 can move a half inch while drying? Sure. It shouldn’t be “while drying” while the construction crew is installing it.

      Follow those wiki links, they all use hand tools, to use it to refer to one who operates machined mills instead of manual in a sawmill would be incorrect since there is already a term.

      A miller operates a machined sawmill.

          Yes the link that refers to SAWMILLS as a whole, where there can be millers who use the tools you linked, and sawyers who would use the tools used in the other links.

          Who’s being dishonest? You’re claiming you work in a field you’ve shown zero actual education in.
