I get it now. With a name like Rocker, what else would you be making? I really thought you liked music . When I cut it I'll try to get 2" boards. My brother uses it sometimes when he makes guitars and said it was white as snow. Usually the light colored woods (maple) need to be cut and put in the kiln quickly and you especially need to make sure to use stickers that ars kiln dried and light colored also. I'll keep you posted.

Roger, are you a fisherman? That looks like the ocean in the background.

William, you need to get your eyes checked :rolf:
I do surf fish some, but the avatar is land based. I'm actually sitting down with a frosty drink overlooking the harbor at Key West. :mrgreen:

Do they still hold the Silk Hope Old Fashioned Farmers Day???
I attended a couple years ago and had a wonderful time. . . .lots of tractors, steam engines, and handpowered farm equipment :icon_thum

I got my dad to check them last week and I'm good for another 100,000 miles;-) . I have not been to the Old Fashioned Farmers Day myself but heard it was fun. Where I live, it looks like an old fashioned farmers day everyday. We try make our equipment last forever:lol: . My dad rebuilds antique cars

Welcome to the site and a fine group of folks. Ok if you say sawmiling kinda grows on you - then I tell one thing about you already - your not afraid of a little hard work, well a lot of hard work.:-D

What kinda band mill you have?

Thanks

Roger, they do still have the show in Silk Hope; a good friend of mine displays his engines every year.

Denton though, is the granddaddy of all engine and tractor shows!

William - re the swing blade - let's hook up sometime this summer.

Baker 3836 (or is it 3638?). Anyway I got one thats a little longer than the regular one. I can cut logs up to 24' long. It's funny, I've had it for about 5 years or more and have never actually cut anything that long. Your right about the work. I work by myself and it "grows" on your back :eusa_doh:
