Thanks for the feedback. I am packing a hearty pruning saw that has cut through some 12-16" trees before, it just takes a little time. I will keep my eyes open.

We are driving to NM and AZ next week and I would love to return with a couple of green hunks of mesquite for bowl turning. Barring something green, if mesquite air or kiln dries well in larger...
Piggybacking on this older post, I would like to add my troubleshooting experience with a 4R. My results were a bit off with gaps where there should not have been gaps. After a call to Leigh and...
Leo, your work is astounding. I see where I need to go with my techniques, keeping it wet and work faster. On to the next chunk.
Thanks Daryl, I have another large hunk taken from the 28" trunk and will take another whack at it.
I turned a 12" bowl of beech today and repaired two serious cracks in the process. Before I bagged it in shavings the rather thin rim had already split an inch or so. My question is this: Is...
I made a gavel years ago in high school for my dad. As I recall, I had to sharpen the tools regularly, and did some of the final shaping weigh a file. The piece never received a finish and it...
It is interesting how much damage these little buggers can do. The resulting bowls from one cherry log so far resemble either a cool bowl or a bad collander. Whether the larva were already...
My 16" Craftsman is fine but the Homelite I replaced burned out and never cut straight. Their customer service was not good either.
Second on the Nova. I just bought mine at Woodcraft on sale and have no complaints.
Oh why not, why last bottle went off anyway. :)
Count me in too.
I'll bite.
I'll try the boiling water trick, if just for curiosity. It doesn't seem like enough heat to effect steel but I'm game.
Looking at them again, the D-8 26" is straight and the bent on is a Disston Keystone Challenger, also 26" with a general warp and what might be considered a kink. I prefer pull saws and these...
I have a couple Disstons with a slight bend in the blade. My question is does this make them worthless? I would like to pass them on to someone for a few bucks but only if they are usable. ...
If I could only be lucky once.
I learned my lesson and will find another way to flatten the stones. 25 years ago a friend said he tied them behind his kids tricycle and had him ride around the basement for awhile. No kids...
It is a Suehiro Chemical Stone, 800 grit
I just received a nearly new Norton flattener from another Creeker and flattened a well worn 800 grit water stone. The stone seems flat at a glance but the Norton is in rough shape. The grooves...
Please count me in!
Yes indeed, I could use this!
