    Right tool for the job

    I've been working on cedar post and rail porch fence. I'll never get the pic right.

    A draw knife wanted to dig in too much so I put this tool into service.

    The Rapala fillet knife worked so good. If you think about it I was filleting the cedar. I have lots to do.

    My Dad has had one of those since I was a kid. Dang thing is still the sharpest knife Ive ever used. Just hone it once in a while and it holds a wonderful edge.

    Thanks Lee! Any advise on how to get an ipad to turn them upright? No matter what orientation the device is in it wont post that way.

    When you open the photo on your iPad, see if there's an option to Edit, then Rotate. Once rotated, be sure to save it in that orientation before uploading.

    How about a pressure washer. The redwood mill at Scotia, California used a big one to debark the logs back in the day when I visited it as a kid. It had enough power to spin the logs 8' diameter 40 ' long

    Well Nick, there is but the pics show the correct orientation when I look at them. I'll try it one day. Turn them upside down and see if they show up here right side up.
