    Too much weight on the blade caused it to bind (but you probably figured that out already). Try removing the slabs after a couple cuts to take the pressure off.

    • @yh9917
      @yh9917 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah John, you need to separate the slabs with 1" × 1" sticks, hell even little 1/2" × 1/2" sticks would be fine. You need to allow air flow between the slabs, or they won't dry properly and could possibly even rot. You don't want all of your hard work retrieving the logs, the fuel to transport, the time you put into milling, to all go to waste. Please put some slats/sticks between the slabs 🙏.

    • @Und3adNation4L
      @Und3adNation4L 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The wood in front of the blade supports the cut enough the 3-4” behind the blade is supported and won’t pinch the blade. Normally don’t need to unstack or wedge the slabs unless you pop a blade or hit me teal and need to cut in to the log to free the blade.

    • @markmitchell7359

      I agree of all the "how to" videos I've seen, wedges would also take stress off the blade. 3 blades in one day!!!, something is wrong there. Also idk if they are putting spacers between the slabs for air drying when sitting out.

      @@markmitchell7359 I run my own band mill and have never needed to put wedges in the kerf it’s not needed. The chainsaw mill I’ll put wooden wedges in so it’s easier to flip them when done milling. The only thing that would snap a blade like that would be pushing through the cut to hard, to much blade tension, or hitting metal and continuing to use that blade. Stickers are a must for air drying if not they will mold and mildew.

    Ambrosia beetle is named after the ambrosia fungus that is typically on its back.

    Just gotta say, there is a STARK difference between your Boss saying, "Stop", and your Parents saying, "Stop". (Especially when your boss chooses not to understand the phrase, "Hold on")

    Sassafras smells delicious. I made my mantel out of a slab that came from a tree taken down by a tornado that hit our area when I was in grade school in 1982. Once I heard when and why the tree came down, I had to buy it.

    I think you need a deck, with a bar, room for the Pit Boss... I'm thinking pergola on one end, for those super sunny days... Idk, I'm just spitballin' here.

    Would love to see you guys build a smoke shack with a breakfast bar to eat meat and mill wood!

    Those slabs look amazing, I wish I lived close enough to see them in real life.

    Is there a blade lubricant? It may help. I notice a big difference on the small mill. Cheers. Cool investment.

    I know I'm late to the party, but my vote is for Tree House. What's more squirrely than chilling up in a tree?

    Gotta make sure you keep the blade stabilizer about 2-3 inches away from the closest point of your cut on the log. Also super slow on wider cuts with questionable grain and the extra weight of slabs on top will affect the cut of course

    Just a quick question y do you hose down the slabs once you cut them? To stop them drying out to quick or just to clean them?

  • @jonathanmulzer17
    @jonathanmulzer17 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If/when that happens again, and you pick up the slab to break it off while it is lifted up put a piece of wood at the other end and then drop it on to it. It will lever up the far end and break it off without you having to tear the wood by brute force.

    Might want to put a hand brake on the drive system, a simple friction block against a non critical moving part, the side of the drive wheel, for example!

    With the prices of Maple nowadays this is a blessing. Gooooodness.

    Forester from Erie, that is likely a silver maple. If the leaves look kinda like hard/sugar but the bark looks like soft/red and multiple stems i would say silver (not there to see it)
