How are things going?
Been sawing at home the last few days and hit a nail in one of my logs.
Here is what a 10 penny ring shank nail will do to a blade. I've never seen a nail do so much damage to a blade. Maybe its because ring shanks are, I think extra hard. It certainly was a pain to dig out of the log.
No doubt many of you have seen much worse however this so far is mine.Read More

I am considering purchasing this mill but can find NO online info about it. At first, I thought it was a bolt mill, but further investigation makes me think its a well done scale model of a Howell No.3.

My HM 126 has needed blade alignment several times. What I mean is I've had to realign the driven pulley to keep the blade correctly running on the pulleys.
I know how to do the alignment, it isn't hard once you understand the mechanics of the adjuster. I just don't know what happens to make the adjustment necessary.Read More

Before we bought our property, a wildfire came through and torched some ponderosa pines and douglas firs enough to kill them but not burn past the bark. They were cut up into to 12-16 foot lengths and stacked, and have sat there ever since. That was 10 years ago. It's quite arid and hot in the summer

Has anyone had any luck bleaching blue stain in white pine. A little blue is ok, but some of the timbers are black. Thanks.
