What? No bandsaw milling threads?

[Mastermind]

60 would be nice on hand though. i probably push the blades longer then i should

We all do that I'm afraid.

Can confirm.

no greater pain then hitting a nail or bullet after just putting a new blade on….

We cut some pine out of a yard. There were three boys and one girl. All were Bonkers about guns and trapping. The top logs were riddled with led. The trees stood next to the drive and they wood wait in the garage then sneak out and shoot at the birds. Never hit iron in any of the logs.

I don't mind lead bullets all.....screws & porcelain insulators on the other hand.....that really stinks!

Cannon balls, Log chain and deer stand MSC aren't on my favorite list.. Usually catch the deer stuff. I saw what a Carriage headblock will do on a 60" F style 8/9 gauge blade in Chanute KS.
No cutting that blade down.

i hit three nails milling my big 50inch log, but at least it was more forgiving then a bandsaw blade.
turned my non skip chain into a partial skip chain lol. which i should have bought a skip chain to begin with….

Sawed up a nice 12' pine this morning....made 3/4" x 10.

 

[Sawdust Man]

Started a new stack.
Used 4" x 8.5" oak for the foundation.
Stickers every 24".
Using cedar stickers on the pine in hopes of it causing less sticker-stain or mold.
Enough clearance underneath so the dog & cats can keep the wild critters out.

 

[Sawdust Man]

Sawed a bunch of lead shot in this pine.....lead saws pretty well....lol

Sawed a beauty of a sycamore this morning.... this stuff is fast becoming one of my favorites to mill.

Discovered a nail today in a piece of hickory I sawed a few weeks ago.....somehow I didn't hit it.
