Looks like a work of art!

[@ThoenWorks]

Actually I think it reminds me of something that you've done with the rebar and all. I think in a way that old video of yours is a little inspiration for this.

@@ThoenWorks I was messing around welding some today! Put some straps on it and its a old time goalie mask!

Please do a vid. on your lift mechanism. Reasons for the choice and determining jack scew sizing outer shaft guides sourcing etc.. TY

[@ThoenWorks]

Will add it to the list. Basically i built it the way i did because of what I had available at the time. All the pieces were free..

Are you lubricating the blade with water base solution? If not maybe that is causing the dips?

[@ThoenWorks]

I am using a slow trip of diesel. Sometime mixed with chainsaw oil for better adhesion to the blade. Longer ago i tried various things. Water. Water and dish soap. Etc etc..

Some guys wouldn't be so fiscally responsible and might blow the rent money on a couple sticks of rebar. Also, I need to commend you on making a sawmilling video without using the word crotch even once.

The nails were free (to me).. you must be watching all those Matt Cremona videos.😃
