3 questions.
Is there a better oil to use rather than woodmizer or mineral oil for the sharpener?
Where is best place to get mineral oil? Will need several gallons.
Can mineral oil be mixed with the WM oil when I switch over, or should I clean the tray and start with all mineral oil or another...

I'm struggling to provide a quote on these. Can't say I've ever seen or heard of such an oversized piece. Read More

I've got a bad case of the milling disease, I simply like to make useful lumber from logs. My problem is I'm not very good at using up or selling or otherwise with the stacks of lumber and the stacks accumulate unused...or so I thought.

I find it very annoying when folks don't ask. Read More
