So, uhh, what's up Planters?

Water? Shit's wet enough as it is!

I know scale is hard to tell with pictures.

Sounds dangerous. What's that supposed to do? Also, think I'm just gonna watch some videos and tune up the carburetor, didn't really get properly done, we just got it running the best we could and started rolling. The weird thing is it'll get like this, and then the next day start right the...

Goddamned saw runs great. When it does. Thing is finicky as fuck. Ran it all day like a champ, then halfway thru the first cut on the second log, it crapped out and refuses to start. Got spark, plenty of gas, got compression. Must just flood and that's the end of it, come back tomorrow.

One log done Also, my garage is gonna need to be completely emptied and cleaned when I'm done.

Drilling the log down in several spots has helped significantly.

Think I found the problem. The saw is so powerful it's rocking that fucking log. I had it chocked because it's massive, but the saw is literally picking it up and throwing it around mid cut.

You motherfuckers.

Ripping chain, almost brand new. So, probably not uneven sharpening. Takes about 5 minutes to go thru 5 feet, so I don't think feed rate is the issue. Just weird. I mean, it's nothing I can't plane out eventually, but goddamn, almost outta fucking ideas here.

Stack so far, and the final rig. I gotta admit though, I am kinda at my wits end. We leveled the bar. We leveled the rig. The top of the log is level. It's level in literally every plane across the entire rig. We secured the mount from moving in any direction. 1-1/2 on one side, 2" on the...

No, it's a great thought...I just didn't think of it first. Now I've got all the iron, so nbd. Slabbed that other log, leveled the mill in every direction. Sharpened both saw blades, rain just stopped, might be able to roll the other one over here shortly and get going. Pics and videos to come...

Me too. It's incredibly satisfying.

This should work. Got all the nuts and bolts for the threaded rod, forgot to get the hardware to deal with the angle iron. I've turned into the man I laughed at when I worked at Ace when I was a kid!

Aight, I think I've got bar flex figured out. Piece of angle iron going up from the saw mount about a foot. Piece of angle iron running over the saw parallel to it. Drill a hole in the bar near the tip, run threaded rod thru the hole, attach to angle iron, pull to level.
