Thanks bro. My sawmill should be here right before Christmas.

[@offgrid-fromtheashes6681]

Best of luck. Have fun with it. Feel free to reach out if you run into any issues.

I have an OS 31, your comment about the leftover parts was dead on with mine as well. Some parts I didn't have enough of, but some I had WAY too many of.

I enjoyed the video. Good job! Dave

[@offgrid-fromtheashes6681]

Glad you enjoyed it

Is that rust I see on the carriage at 14:10?

[@offgrid-fromtheashes6681]

No, that is just dirt. None of the new pieces they sent had any rust.

I bought extra bolts just in case they shorted me but there were PLENTY from the factory. I bought the OS23 thinking “Shoot! 23” logs? I’m never going to get any that big!” The third log barely made it through the guides. So if I ever buy another saw it will be the bigger model.

[@offgrid-fromtheashes6681]

I originally thought that OS23 would be big enough, but I measured some of the trees on my property first. I now find that I have to trim some of my logs to fit through the OS27. Bigger is almost always better.

I haven't played with an erector set with that many parts since I was a child. Wonder if they assembled it before shipping to find any problems.

[@offgrid-fromtheashes6681]

The answer is no. There were a few things each time that didn't line up quite right, but nothing that we couldn't find a solution to.

I'm sure it would have went better if you had more experience with tools . Like husband and wife working together . My wife is a pain to work with .lol

Just found your channel. Looks like a fun project! Was wondering if the dead trees are from bettle kill? What state are you in?

[@offgrid-fromtheashes6681]

We lost all the trees in the Cameron Peak forest fire here in Colorado a year and a half ago now.

Strongly suggest leather gloves, safety footwear, safety eyeglasses and hearing protection. You seem to be a long way from medical help. Thanks for posting though.

[@offgrid-fromtheashes6681]

You are not wrong, and yes I should be better about correct safety gear. I have it all with me, but I find I am not using it as often as I should.
