Sawmills and Milling / Re: OldJarheads Milling Thread...
Last post by OlJarhead - Today at 12:32:48 PMThanks
1. Yes I disconnected the wires to test for continuity.
2. Battery voltage starts around 12.65 off the solar panel and drops to around 12.5 or so.
3. Battery voltage at 11.9-12.x (low) was after starting the engine without the alternator working.
4. When alternator is working (now) the voltage at battery shows 14.79v which is inline with what WM tells me there should be.
The battery is old so it may need to be replaced but at least now, the alternor is charging.
On the light, I agree. It should come on until the alternator starts to charge then go out so that's a little strange and needs further testing.
Cheers!

Last post by scsmith42 - Today at 12:26:23 PMI use a 15hp Woodmizer twin blade edger to edge dry lumber into flooring blanks for the moulder. It does a fine job.

General Woodworking / Re: Watcha Makin'?
Last post by firefighter ontheside - Today at 10:43:54 AMMaybe a more flexible epoxy like G flex will be better.
Here is the case for dad. I will finish it the next time I work on it and give it to mom.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Maintaining the state park...

if you have a Milwaukee 18V Hacksall they make very good pruning blades for them.
I spent time this winter clearing out about 150' of brush and trees so my sunflower patch gets more sun.
I buy a bag of seeds sold for birdseed and hand spread it over about 1/3 acre.
I can sit in my barn watch my dogs run and when the sunflowers are ready there seems to be thousands of yellow and black chickidees.
I actually do also have a Milwaukee Hackzall. Just a few days ago, I grabbed it and tried to cut something and it was pitiful. I don't know how it got so dull! Then I wondered why did I buy this thing? I assumed that I bought it to cut sapling roots around my yard but it cut so pitiful this time, I figured I'd just sell it. Beats me, maybe it's another blade type on it that is not good for green wood. Regarding what I now need, I figured one of those battery hatchets would cut a sapling faster than the Hackzall and when you are bending over to cut, speed matters. My memory is failing me on use of that Hackzall in the past.
