That's a nice machine. I looked at those a while ago. Just got my sawmill into its new home. I started working on the 2nd saw on it. I'm really looking forward to processing some gasifier fuel. Thanks for the show. Joe
It has made my life so much easier, such an improvement over doing it with a chainsaw, my back is very happy too, looking forward to seeing your sawmill, cheers.
I'm sorry but i too have been cutting wood for years and no way is carrying wood over to that large machine easier than a chainsaw using a , saw log holder that i carry to the pile along with my 36volt Makita chainsaw , the noise and the hassle of moving that saw bench around will soon wear thin oh and the many hours re sharpening that huge blade would be a no no for me , I love the fact i can cut my fire wood for no fuel costs at all other than maybe having to run the Gasifier if i have days of no sunshine to charge up all my tools . anyway tell me what's happening in the shed with your Gasifier have you got rid of that rotary grate ? and have you got some insulation around the hot zone yet ? we need to see the fruits of all your hard work on your marvelous build .
The gasifier is parked for the moment, until I finish the lathe bench, in the meantime I've been plotting the way forward, hope to get back to it real soon, cheers
Hi. Very helpful video. I am thinking of buying one of these for an unusual purpose. I'm building a house and are looking to slice largish TeaTree into 2cm "discs" to make a parquetry floor (embedded in resin). I've already prototyped, etc and it works well. The key has been how to efficiently cut and produce a large quantity of these. So my question is a) more generally, do you think this might work ok if I rig up a 2cm stop to the right of the saw blade and b) is the cut fine enough to give a good finish? After that, I will probably use it for firewood.
@@Mwaxer212 g'day mate, the cuts I was getting were pretty good & clean, all the timber was seasoned hardwood, I don't think a drop saw or table saw would have been much better if at all, I think it might just work, you can always sand them after, good luck, cheers
@@whathappensintheshed Thanks for the reply. Very helpful. Think I will go ahead and purchase. I have seen I can buy finer toothed saws if I need so maybe that's my fall-back option if it doesn't work.
Looks like a great saw! Once ya get the gasifier working perfectly ya can use wood to cut up more wood.
Ahh yes that's not out of the question, that saw saved me a lot of time, cheers

That's a mighty fine new "toy" for the farm.
Think I will settle for the chainsaw, on the logs though :) .
Mate, it was fantastic, saved me a lot or time, it is quite possible now my most scariest piece of equipment, just Infront of the chipper, cheers
@@whathappensintheshed
Yup. Some tree working equipment can be scary to operate, yet safe, if you give it the respect that it deserves :) .
