[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

Thanks Richard! There will be lots more to follow as we can get videos edited and uploaded, still kind of a slow process for us here though lol... We cave a couple of LT40's as well, what year is your machine? How do you like it? let me know if you ever have any issues or questions with it, it is a fine machine and we pretty much know them inside and out 👍

When I set the simple set I've got to add 1/8" for example 4" cut would be 4-1/8" does the machine you have do the same as mine or woodmizer take in a count of the blade thickness?

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

I guess I should have mentioned that in this video, you are correct... SimpleSet does not take the saw kerf into account in the setpoint and the actual drop. We have machines with SimpleSet, and machines with Accuset2 setworks, the simple set machines drop the actual amount you have set in the computer, so a 4" drop will yield an actual drop of 4", the Accuset2 setworks machines wil drop 4" plus the saw kerf thickness you have programmed into the Accuset2 programs. I will clarify that in a future video that I have planned! Thanks for bringing that up because it is a pretty important thing for people to know! 👍

[@MONNIEHOLT]

Thanks for getting back with me, love your videos, you have a great operation there🙋🏻‍♂️

[@michaelknight5145]

Those cookies look great! Where you located approximately? Cali? Thank you for all the help on the how to epoxy video, my slab came out great!

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

Thank You Michael! And thats awesome your slab turned out good! Glad we could help out! Also, we are located just over an hour south of Sacramento in the California Central Valley, just outside of the Modesto area 👍🏼

[@mackholman8042]

do you spray anything on the boards to keep them from cracking

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

We do use anchorseal on some logs and cookies, but not always... it just depends on what it is and the value 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@danielsheets463]

do you use a different blade for cutting cookies? also what did you spray on the slab just water to show the grain?

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

Same blades as everything else and yes just spraying water on them to bring out the pretty for you all!

[@robertpowell2735]

Do you still produce videos??

[@galanjones8123]

???? What do you use for?

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

Galan Jones Large cookies make really awesome tables when you build them right!

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

What are you spraying on them ?

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

These cookies are Redwood so a bug kill is not really needed, so in this case we are only spraying water on them to show off the color and figure off in the video and it allows us to get good pictures of the cookies/slabs while stacking them up. In some cases as with Walnut cookies for example, we do spray them with Boracare or Timbor to treat for the bugs that like to bore into the sapwood 👍

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

@@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx Thanks for the reply . I thought it may have been some type of anchor seal mixture or a bug killer . My wife brushes on anchor seal and I thought you may have found a faster way .

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

👍🏼 good times!

How's the mill doing so far?

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

Gray squirrel tree service So far so good, no major issues as of yet, just a few minor things for the most part, I do not expect any catastrophic problems tho 👍🏼 of course it all depends on how its going to be taken care of, we tend to not beat on our machines so in the long run they run pretty well...

[@savaven1]

Just like the slab I just got making a resin table

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

Nice! Let us know how your project turns out!

[@graysquirreltreeservice7299]

Why 4"thick not 3",what is that cookies value raw per slice

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

Gray squirrel tree service We tend to cut slabs 3”-4” quite often, we already have some 3” so we cut these ones 4” for thicker tables... It just all depends on what it is and what we feel is best for that piece... as far as price goes, there are lots of varibles like size, wood type, and figure so in reality, prices are all over the place 🤷🏻‍♂️ That’s just not a really easy question to answer lol...
