Hey guys, I'm helping dad figure out how to post pics while I'm here for Father's Day. He'll get back to you later tonight with details, so send him all the questions you have and he'll slowly peck out the answers. Maybe you'll find out the answers by next week!  :D  -Sarah

Heck you're way ahead of the game.  8)   8)   8)   Most folks wait until the third or forth log before they start sawing up da mill.   ;)  
Once ya get all the extra iron sawed off da mill, things should run smoothly.    ;D   My Norwood runs lots better after I lightened her up.   :D
