That big crosscut saw needs a big radial drill to match. One with power to move the headworks in and out. Of course power downfeed.

Haha! Not sure my tractor would lift it, so I'll have to pass. I do have a lovely Buffalo 18" that is a delight to use!

I have been using the Heritage Natural Finishes products the past few years for my interior and exterior products and really like it so far. The underside of my gable end overhangs will have fake purlins/visible lookouts that I decided to make out of hemlock because I had it, and because it would offer a little contrast to what will otherwise be pine. Here are a few before after shots! No affiliation:

Decided to make the second floor "spline and groove" instead of traditional tongue and groove. Makes for a more interesting joint where it is visible. Decided to get some dedicated tooling to simplify everything:

That blue stain material is going to make for a very interesting floor! Spline and groove is a nice technique even though there are more pieces involved. Only one tool to run the floor boards and one can make the splines to fit en-masse.

I'm pretty sure the stock for the actual floor (this was a scrap used for testing) is without blue stain, but I do think this looks quite nice!
