We're u working at debeers?  Wish I had the walnut in your gallery.  I used to saw outside but the heat drove me under cover.  Set up permanently inside, but the last month the heat is unreal up here in the north.

Good luck rob and hurry up and get a roof over your mills!!👍🏻

I second that motion, learned that the hard way myself.
There's a lot less maintence if you have your equipment protected from the elements.

So how are things going so far since you quit your job?

WellandportRob

Sorry for the long silence guys.  Things are going great.  I'm busier than ever and enjoy waking up everyday and getting to work.
The learning curve on the new wood-mizer was a little bigger than I expected and I got little behind at first but now I love it.
I'll post some pictures shortly on what I've been up to.
