Milling Walnut And Steel # 339

[@BenedictSawmilling]

I've been an expert sawyer several times myself. For the first time ever yesterday, we sawed right past a nail that neither one of us saw. When we went to edge the flitches on the mill, there it was, sticking right out of the side of one of the 1 1/8" boards, untouched. Perfect blade placement and expertise. :)

Sorry but you can't be an expert if you missed the nail completely. I'd rather miss the metal than be an expert.

[@Ratherbemilling]

That’s some beautiful metal… when i grow up i hope to mill metal as well as you. Some nice walnut too.

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Ravi, you will have plenty of opportunity when your new mill arrives.

[@PineInTheAshMilling]

Dave nice boards out of that log. Too bad about metal hit, I know a guy with desetter but the expert way you approached that lag bolt I don't think it will do much good. Excellent video

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Thanks Paul.

[@southernadirondackoutdoors]

The toe boards may have been manual but also self lowering 😁 Good video Dave!

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Now, if they could make the hydraulic kind.

hi there been there , walnut always has metal best to all john

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Thanks John. One less blade to re-sharpen.

Would a garret metal detector help

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

It would, if I used it. I just bought a good detector and it's in the shop. I'm thinking you actually have to USE them for them to work. Dave

Bad luck but, the added suspense made for a good video. Brent

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Thanks Brent. I didn't want that blade any more anyway.

@@TheOldManAndTheSaw I thought it was a law of nature. Only a new band could hit metal. Brent

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

@@lugtugsawmill4725 It IS a law; I guess the blade didn't read that part.

[@terryatpi]

Deep in the log aye ?

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Yes, but not deep enough.
