I eat so much pharmaceutical plastic each day I can tell manufacturers apart by the taste of their pills.

I finally got to run my sawmill with the electric chainsaw attached. First small slab ( 1'x2'x1.5") looks pretty nice although it needs some attention from a plane to be usable lumber.

Unfortunately the body of the electric saw appears to be all plastic and the bolts that hold the whole thing together seem to be pulling through their mounting brackets. Once I get a replacement spark plug for my gas powered saw I think we should be in business to cut some serious lumber.

Me too!

For some reason locust trees are considered pest trees around here. I think they mill up really pretty and the wood has naturally anti microbial and anti fungal properties.

We have black locust in our yard. They are nice as mature trees, but they send up tons of thorny shooters.
