It's about time

It seems like years since I started building my bandmill (come to think of it, it has been years). I had my first two sawing jobs lined up about a week ago but the magneto went out on the old wisconsin engine I had on my mill and I couldn't find a new coil for it so I just ordered a 25 hp engine off ebay. It's supposed to be here by next Tuesday. Shouldn't take too long to get it hooked up and running (famous last words). As soon as I get that done it's off to my first paying job. I just bought 20 dura tooth super sharps 7° blades from Cooks. I think I'll try a few different brand blades until I find the brand I like. It looks to me like most brands are good, just a matter of your preference. If I'm wrong please speak up.  I'll take some pictures and post them next week.

hackberry jake: I'm still waiting for your visit.  I'm looking foward to meeting you.

I might have something that would replace your magneto....

Arnold, it's good to see you seeing the end of the build and the beginning of sawing.  I will look forward to hearing about the sawdust flying,   8)
