Would you guys call this cherry burls or just a mess? :D :D :D


  

 
I'm going to make a $300 bench out of this :D :D :D


 
With sweep, The (I) on the end is to remind me of Iron in it :D

Looks more like a canker than a burl.

That sweepy ferrocherrry might make a couple of nice live edge fireplace mantles. ;D

I put new blades in the edger today. What a job, and the lineup after. Sometimes I wish the blades were two pieces :D
I had to adjust the shaft some.


 
And move it back.See the nuts and blots.


 
I use a string to line up the fence.


  

 
And John got some claws. :D :D

How much were the new blades? I think I need to do mine. Or maybe I just need to peel a layer or two of crud off my feed rollers. :D

I bought them last spring. 125.00 each. Was that you that had trouble with tracking using the fence?

Yes, but now I have to be careful not to break the pallets.

If I'm just running a board through using both blades, it seems to do just fine. If I have a straight edge against the fence, it walks away, leaving me with a narrow end. Also, one of the blades seems to leave a fuzzy cut once in a while.

I like the new hardware on the front of John.

Nice, don't fall down in between the lugs, so should give great traction.   smiley_thumbsup

You can move the feed roles some, that will help with tracking. I use a square on them. Square to the body of the edger.  The fuzz is a dull blade, If you look you will see a flat spot on the tooth tip.

According to WM if the edger isn't level in both directions you won't have good results.

I you put a straight edge  like a piece of 1/8" angle iron on the out feed side in alignment with your stationary blade it will hold the wood straight as it feeds thru the edger.

The wood goes away from the fence, so if you did that the board will be ¼ to ½" away from the out feed fence.

Well, I had time to start finally.


  

 
I put a pole at each end, then fill the rest in. :D :D

  

  

  

 
4 more posts for the other wall, then I can start the roof.  8) 8) 8)
I'm sick Of snow on my wood and my pallets frozen to the ground.

I hear there is ocean front property in Arizona :D  sunny and 75°'s year round ;D  the start looks real good, and I'm with you on the snow,  not a big fan either, Pretty stuff, but a pain to work in,
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

Dave Shepard

That will be really nice when it's done, Peter. Having everything under cover will pay for the effort in short order.

I'm getting pretty aggravated by the snow, too. I've got a bunch of stuff to edge, and processing my slabs can be a pain when they are all stuck together. I've got my eye on a few W24x94 beams 39' long. Three of those in a row ought to be enough. 8)

It is a pain, But you have a nice Mill building for your mill so you can cut in bad weather.  Do you have some? I had 12" but with all the rain, I think 2" now.

Yeah, I think I can get a good deal, just tell the guy that owns them to bring me his Lull, so I can unload them, and to go back and get them with his trailer truck. :D I don't know what it would cost in the end, but I'm sure it will be manageable. The next trick will be what I'm going to use for the three posts. There are other shorter pieces of steel there, might see if he has something for that. I'm going to have an ~80' opening, and the rest for the edger bay. Plan is to have another 24' extension some day.
