Tool/Wood gloat

[Pete Jordan]

I have acquired some cherry, basswood and a bunch of boxelder. The tool is the Alaska Sawmill. After watching Bill's video I decided I would never be able to cut wood very straight so I decided to get some help.

The heck with the wood and tools. Is that a pototo launcher I see?

You are very close, O wise one. It is actually called the Zooka. It will shoot a tennis ball 85mph and a baseball 65mph. I decided to get one after my wife started throwing batting practice to my eldest. She hit him three times in a row and he was getting gun shy! The nice thing about it is that it runs on a battery so I don't have to deal with cords.

Looks like you are set for a week or two :rolleyes:

But Pete, get yourself off the ground!

I've sent you a link to a great site on how to make a good stand for the size of wood you have.

Cheers!

PS now that you have that mill, you will NEVER look at a log or a tree in the same way again!! :D

Cheers!

Geez Pete, and I was going to bring over a cherry bowl blank for you.....:)

[Mike Ramsey]

Pete, tell me your not turning that wood into flat stock!!

[Pete Jordan]

My greedy brother wants the flatstock and he is the one with the planer. If I ever need stuff glued up, he's my guy.
