First-time viewer here. Why, pray tell, is Maryland having NC weather? Y'all are roasting up there too. I spent 20 years as a saw filer for a pine bandsaw mill. You learn pretty fast to stay away from the blades. I have an uncle in FL who used to make porch swings out of cypress, but they passed a law or something so that he couldn't get cypress anymore and it shut him down. I'd love to have a source of cypress logs to pick up where he left off. Great video! I love the sound of those old circle saws when they are cutting.

Eric, Thanks for stopping by! Yea, hotter than NC here in MD lately. It usually doesn't last too long, but it's been miserable. And the cypress.. I was worried it might be a problem, but the tree company took it down and it was going to be chipped or made into boards!
