Back in my youth,,, 45 years ago,,, an uncle of mine went bonkers one night and bought a sawmill he claimed was dirt cheap and his wife claimed was just a noisily heap of manure. We cut oak farm boards 5/4 from 12 ft to 18 feet every evening after chores 5 days a week for 3 months or so. Then we put a metal roof up cause running a mill open to the weather purely sucks. Watching you two gents progressing along is a treat. There are times when I swear I can hear Eddie grunting.

There are two kinds of Detroit diesels. Freshly rebuilt and painted, and oily. You can clean and paint an old Detroit, but it will look just the same in a few months. Detroits leak oil, it's a "feature" of a pressurised intake system and lots of odd little seals all over the place.

The 56" looks good up there

I found that when we rebuilt the carriage wheels on the meadows that if you pu the wheels on the wood stove in the office and heat them till the cups fell out the new feel back in and then let them cool .but you have to hold them in place!!!

Mark, I think you should have some sort of two way radio communication with Eddie.

Also, if there were a way to link Eddie into the commentary, so we could hear both of you talking, on the job, that would be great.
