I found out today that the guy who has always sharpened my planer and jointer knives can also sharpen my sawmill blades. I think I will at least try him and see how it goes. I've been hearing that turn around with woodmizer has been very slow and the WM dealer in MO that used to do resharp doesn't do it anymore. I can just drive them over and pick them up when done. Of course, I'll be losing the ability to get replacements at a discount when blades can't be sharpened. I think the price per blade is the same for sharpening. I hope I save enough on shipping to make it worthwhile.

Just finished the 9th job of 2021 today. 1220 BF of RO/ash and a half hour slicing 30" red oak cookies 4" thick about 8 of them.

Nothing booked ahead but about 6 other customers threatening to call so will probably have a few more jobs before end of month.

Might be most active January ever.

2 sales today from FB market place and 2 more orders added to the list. It will be the busiest January ever for me.

I’m finally sawing some lumber for my own projects.

4x6 posts, 2x6x14’ rafters and 1x5 s for sheathing for the metal roof.

Took 1 day (about 3 hours) to set the posts and header and one day (5 hours) to set the rafters and do the sheathing. The only real problem is the cost of the metal roofing! Cha Ching $$$$!

You guys with flat roofs

Up here in NH the thing would be on the ground on the first storm.

Fun this last week 10 ° cutting frozen Hemlock logs hard as a rock. The T7s did ok but, Dull faster. If you don't take the lumber off fast enuff the thing will freeze to the cant.

I know what your talking about we were sawing pine 2x4 and they froze down to the cant real fast and its fun scarping off saw dust to. we use windshield washer fluid but it still freezes to the 2x4. Randy

Yes “flat” is relative. The photo makes it look flatter than it is. The roof has about 20” of fall in 14’. We rarely get more than 6” of snow and none of it stays more than 2 or 3 days. While this lean-to will hold up to our snow loads, it wouldn’t where snow and ice accumulates over several weather events. There are hundreds of sheds like this built on tobacco barns just in Stokes County.
