sawing pallet slats out of a nasty black oak log # 594

we have a order for some 1/2"x6" pallet slats so we had some nasty black oak to use for this order , hope you enjoy! We have a online store at markgaliciccha...

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Thanks that little extra with the setworks, we never realized until now there was anything behind that cover. We always thought it was just a nameplate. That was quite the log, that will make quite a few pallets but I do imagine pallet stock gets use up pretty fast. Grandpa says "Hi" you always make his day. We all wish you best wishes on your eye procedure Mark.

[@richparks1966]

Is Grandpa continually making donations just to hear his name shouted out? Grandma says "That sounds like a scam Grandpa might run, he always liked his name shouted out."

[@anthonyhengst2908]

@@richparks1966 nope, I do donations for myself. Mark has fabulous content. Maybe you ought to be nicer to Grandma.

[@richparks1966]

@@anthonyhengst2908 I'm plenty 'nice' to Grandma, she's just got a vicious mean streak, and a solid backhand. Grandma says "If Tony wants you to be nicer to me, try NOT making me watch this schlock." then snapped on to say, "Grandpa has got Tony conned into paying, there's a SUCKER born every minute, Tony must be an hours worth."

[@anthonyhengst2908]

@@richparks1966 Grandpa is in his 103rd year, I think by this time he has earned everything he wants. In his day he had his mean streaks too. Especially with people that haven't a clue. He's mellowed considerably in the last 10 years.

[@richparks1966]

@@anthonyhengst2908 According to the attributes you described for Grandpa (who was only 102 in your last age post, did he just have a birthday? lol) It sounds like Grandpa would still be mean to tribute-conned and clueless TONY for being his 'mark,' another name for SUCKER.

Take a bolt, say M4. Take a wing-nut M4. Screw the wing nut reverse on the bolt so the wings end up besides the hex head. Now tighten to the max and you have a wing-bolt. You might screw on an M4 normal nut upto the winged nut, to secure it. No tools required anymore to adjust the bolt.

[@markgalicic7788]

it needs to be tighter than a wing nut.

Mark, when you talk about the “magic number” is that something that changes with each log or is it something to do with the sawmill itself? Great video, thanks for sharing.
