Forestry and Logging / Re: What are you cutting 2025?
Last post by teakwood - Today at 07:40:56 AMCongrats Eric!
you know my cutting is pretty boring, it's always the same, only cutting teak. this time i marked a burl tree, i have never seen a burl in a teaktree. was kinda interesting to see how that will go. little figure but didn't work, cookies all fell apart.

Last post by aigheadish - Today at 07:11:19 AMNice doc!
We've got a compost pile that has gone unused for the years that we've had it in service. I've just taken to turning it more frequently and it is starting to look pretty nice. We've been tossing egg shells and coffee grounds and any vegetable waste in there for years, along with some grass clippings and other random stuff. I may try some experimentation with it to see how it fares.

General Board / Re: Whatcha Growing?
Last post by aigheadish - Today at 07:08:12 AMYeah, thanks Otis, I'm worried about the deer too but these boxes are pretty close to the house and they usually don't come that close. I'm throwing a trail camera on the area probably tomorrow after some SD cards arrive, to see if there are any visitors. I've heard that about garlic too, I didn't think about it in the winter time, unfortunately. How much do you plant and use and do you have a good storage method? We don't go through a ton of garlic but I may start using more if I have it from the garden sitting around all the time.
cfarm- yup! the little leaves smell great!
The plants, mostly the peppers at the far end of the close box, in the picture above, already show quite a bit of growth after only one day! It's nuts!

Sawmills and Milling / Re: bandmill blade questions
Last post by chainsaw_louie - Today at 07:02:53 AM"The teeth that are set the opposite it's the other corner. Make sure you are grinding those little corners. It doesn't take much time to just send that blade around again and clean up all the little corners. "
@customsawyer, thanks , I fully agree , the corners must be ground square and proud as per the micro photos posted by Yellowhammer. One more pass and I should be able to hit all the tips fully. I was trying to go lightly and not cause overheating and blueing of the steel, resulting in losing the steel's temper and hardening. This seems to be happening on some of the teeth as in the 4th picture.
@OnParr , re cams from Woolandmills to grind the entire profile , this seems like a good idea , have you used them? The sell 4 specific model of cams for different blades:
- Woodmizer Silver tip
- General purpose
- Ripper 37
- Kasco woodmax
I'll have to call and see which cam profile would be the closest for these WMzr blades I have. One pass to do the entire profile is definitely better than the multiple pass method I'm experimenting with here.

General Board / Re: The weather 2025
Last post by aigheadish - Today at 07:01:24 AM@doc henderson your mention of Skin So Soft quickly brought that smell, which my weird dog nose really dislikes, right back. The black fly season sounds miserable, but so does re-smelling SSS. Everyone at camp, when I was a kid, used it and just thinking about it makes me want to barf!
