Rising from it's sarcophagus and out from the deep dark corner it came; into the light of day! I can't thank the cave man that invented the wheel enough. My 150lb. frame wrestled the 450lbs. to my bench hoisting one end at a time up to rest on top of my bench. The battle was over. The desire to wrench the white lathe from it's resting place with tenacity and determination won. At 2330 hours the legs went on. The wheels slid under ,with a little more lifting, and off we went to its place of work and play. Now comes the expensive accessories part. I still have to but some more bowel turning tools, hollowing tools and a oneway stronghold. YIKES!
On a different note. I have this great white oak to cut up. My tree fell 1.5 years ago during a close encounter with rotating winds from a tornado. It was between 80 and 100 feet tall. A lot of big white and red oaks fell that year. What a site. One of my neighbors that I don't know has been busy cutting up fire wood. I also have a neighbor that just cut up what may be black oak. It fell last year. The leaves look like white oak but much bigger. The end grain is darker as well. I'll be trying to get some of that also. The dia. is about 16-20" on the black oak or what ever it is, and a whole lot bigger on my white oak.
So could some one tell me what dna is that you soak your bowels in and a good source for the waxy sealer by the gallon? I'll be needing it. Thanks
