[@deniscarter6613]

Nasty rough weather George nice slabs

[@SwampSawyer]

That’s what we call frog strangling rain 😊

[@mcsawmill]

@@SwampSawyer it cleaned the sawmill shed roof lol.

[@andysmith8544]

We're over-run by cherry on our property, but I'm okay with that, it's still my favorite!

[@mcsawmill]

@@andysmith8544 I have lots too but it's a fun log to saw.

[@southernadirondackoutdoors]

There's something about being under a metal roof while holding onto a big chunk of metal sawmill that I don't find appealing during a thunderstorm. 😁 Oh, and using a metal cant hook too. Time to go inside when the thunder starts.

I just got to use a carbide tipped blade on my mill for the first time last weekend. I think it's an absolute game changer.

[@mcsawmill]

@@erikleorga yea I really like them too.

[@erikleorga]

@@mcsawmill Through white and red oak no less. I thought my little underpowered POS actually felt like a real mill.

[@jbarlazye911]

You milled out some pretty nice boards there. Too bad that log was so bowed. I had a couple cherry logs given to me and they had some nice grain to the lumber. I put the lumber in an auction and hope to make a little gas money. Ed

[@mcsawmill]

@@jbarlazye911 cherry always makes nice boards as long as you saw it before it rots. Thanks.

[@jbarlazye911]

@@mcsawmill Unfortunately these logs had quite a bit of decay to work around. We'll see how it comes out when the auction is over.

[@brenthagen3049]

Decent yield for a crooked log with a little rot.

[@mcsawmill]

I think I sawed it up just in time. If I had left it any longer that redrot would have been much worse.

[@SwampSawyer]

What was the liquid you poured on the blade prior to first cut?

[@mcsawmill]

@@SwampSawyer used cooking oil to clean the sap off.

[@pezofdoom7090]

Remind us, are the carbide blades third party or from wood-mizer? Where are you ordering them from?

[@mcsawmill]

It doesn't matter, they are all pretty much the same when it comes to sawmill band blades.

[@brucewelty7684]

Is that your typical orchard variety Cherry or something else?

[@mcsawmill]

@@brucewelty7684 black cherry, they grow everywhere around me

[@pezofdoom7090]

Also, we need to get you some kind of ice cream cone to have after a hard few hours of sawing.

[@mcsawmill]

I'd make noises like the saw then...

[@jenniferwhite6089]

laughing thinking to myself the first cut he would have run and built a crib board from it lol last year he make cut cutting board lol

[@mcsawmill]

I was looking at it because I really want to make a cherry bowl. lol...

[@dougsmith548]

I beg you sir could you not wet all the cut wood at least for me. I have been your subscriber from almost the start. I watched you build you cabin from the first canoe load till the end. God Bless and Stay Safe ✌️🇨🇦🤪

[@mcsawmill]

@@dougsmith548 hey Doug, why do you not want me to wet the wood?

[@dougsmith548]

@@mcsawmill the reason is, I don’t care to see every piece of wood wet. It’s just a something of mine. Hard to explain. But I understand it’s your show. You do what you wish, sir. I will respect your wishes.

[@mcsawmill]

@@dougsmith548 I'll try and not over do it. Appreciate the feedback.
