After having asked for advice on SMC, decided I should report on my
progress. Read everything I could find on swingmills, and looked at all the
videos, decided the best for me would be a bandmill. So I read everything
I could find on bandmills and ordered a mill from Cook's Saw Mfg LLC of
Alabama. The important things to me are wheels within .003", and a very
good blade and sharpening service. They say that Cook mills cut straight.
Am very tired of wavy boards. So I went with Cooks.
The downside is it is 1100 miles to go pick it up when it is ready. Jim
