I could have put this under my fence thread, but I figure I might as well get it out in the open and not try to bury it with a small comment on another subject.

I sawed something that was not wood a little bit ago. Something not wood and a tad bit orange.  :-\

Well it's better that it happens quick and get it over with.  ;D
Be sure to save that blade so we can all have a look at it while we eat piggy... ;D
Got my WM lt40g24, Setworks and debarker in oct. '97, been sawing part time ever since, Moving logs with a bobcat.

The blade dont look bad at all, it just wont cut NATHIN any more.  :D 

Now I should really fess up that I almost hit the same backstop the first cut on the fresh blade but I didn't, so really, why am I telling you people that anyway?  :D

 Welcome to the club.  It did not take long.  I went about 6 months before I cut into Wanda but when I did it was a dandy.  Since that time she bears many scars and not all mine.

One photo should be all you need.

Jeff,
You will find that you will wear these little stories with pride in later years.  They are almost a badge of honor. :D :D   Yep, they are stupid things that get into our pockets.  That wouldn't happen but that we were doing something.  
:D

I always weld those over ASAP, paint them and artificially age the paint to make it blend. Inevitably, every joker who sees a cut into the post comes up with some 'wise' crack about my sawing abilities that I've already heard a million times before. ::)
Instead, with my mistakes covered, people ask "Do you ever forget to lower those and hit them?" to which I reply "Nah!" :D

Oowwooch!
It's that there 'club' that you just couldn't wait to get into?  :)

Couldn't this be a sawmill mod, where one puts on a steel cutting blade first, right off the bat, and cuts those corners off, and be done with it? (and still get into the 'club')  ??? ::) ::) ???

I was hoping you would wait until da Piggy Roast to show us how that is done. Too late now.

Well, now you have heard that unpleasant screeching sound. I have heard it too (ain't going to admit how many times), first thing that goes through my mind is "DanG there went a $20 bill"
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

woodmills1

did ya ever put the feet down and the one just sticks up a little and your to lazy to dig out some dirt.  Well I am only cutting 8 footers so it wont matter.  Then you have one log just around 10 foot and you cant figure out why one board is really tapered.  Havent cut one of the feet yet but lotsa scars on the clamp,  only a nick or two to the stops though.  Also have managed to beat up the blade guard preety bad to where it needs to be welded again. :D :D

I've got a whole handful of teeth around here somewhere that came from when I was a sawyer about 30 years ago.  I think I was running the resaw at the time.
I figured them teeth would make a good conversation starter or a souvenir to give my grandchildren. :-\

Jeff,

  One more fresh blade and you will probably be ALL THE WAY through and won't have to worry about those darn last 2" of that post. Perhaps the next one you can geet through with the first blade.  8)

  I had a fresh full chisel chain on my Husky and DARN it forgot how far out that forklift apron stuck out (extra wide, two aprons welded together). Amazing how long it took for me to respond to the chatter. Amazingly little damage to the chain and a very big chunk out of that heavy steel............interesting. :-\

Jeff,

Those cuts are easy to fix with a arc welder, it makes them disappear.

When you saw off the handle of your cant hook, then you got something to talk about!

  Just remember the sound it made .It is very distinctive isn't it  .

Welcome to the sawyer ranks on your  band mill.

Now that you finally did it.  Fess up again ...  It wasn't nearly as traumatic as sawing into something with one of those big-ol' circle mills - and not nearly as expensive, was it?
