    One heck of a score!

    I just picked up another sweet load of Curly/Flame Maple. This load is 6/4 S2S and I'm gonna be busy!

    One heck of a score!

    I've just about got this pallet unloaded into the garage. I'm going back in the morning for the other one. I've got plenty of room down in the shop. It will be sorted and stored down there. This is full of a bunch of gorgeous wood. Many very large pieces too.

    One heck of a score!

    I just got back from a major score! Gotta unload this and go back for the other one. It's all 1" S2S curly and flame maple. The other pallet is the same size but it's 1.5" S2S of the same variety. This is about 1,000 lbs. Paid $150! Rough estimate is about .40/bf.

    A sad update.

    Today's a hard day. This morning I took the last dose of my trial drug. I've been on this treatment for almost three years. This drug trial is pretty much the only treatment for my Late Onset Tay Sachs. I have had no negative side effects and I feel that it has helped me. The trial sponsor feels...

    I love woodworking!

    I've been working my butt off on my current project and making a ton of sawdust. I'm nowhere even halfway near done. That stack of 3/16" x 6" x 22" blanks started life as a 4/4 x 6" x 96" roughsawn board. I love my DW735 with Shelix upgrade. It's a beast.

    Resaw blades for a 14" bandsaw.

    Very cool! I got opinions on both sides after asking about running a 3/4 3tpi x 105" blade on my Rockwell 28-203 saw, I made up my mind and headed to Woodcraft to pick up this blade. I came home and threw it on and adjusted everything. It works great! I'm resawing 4/4 x 6" poplar into 1/4" and...

    Resaw blades for a 14" bandsaw.

    It looks like they stock that one at my Woodcraft. I'm gonna go talk to them tomorrow. I get conflicting opinions on the 3/4 but my manual says it will work. I have quite a bit of resawing to do. Maybe a 1/2" 3 tpi will work, but it might be worth trying a carbide for long life. Thanks, guys!

    Resaw blades for a 14" bandsaw.

    I've been using a 1/2 x 105 - 3 tpi blade to resaw 6" wide poplar. It's working pretty well, but I'm thinking about trying a 3/4 x 105 - 3 tpi instead. I want a good-quality blade and I'm wondering if it might be worth trying a 3 tpi skip-tooth. I have quite a bit of resawing to do. Thoughts?

    Found a mill!

    Very cool! I found a mill about an hour from me and just got back from picking up a bunch of 4/4 rough-sawn Poplar for $3.25 bf.
