It's a worth while tool. My splitter shipped with the six way in it and my first attempt to remove the box wedge took awhile. Take the time while the wedge is out and index it. I cleaned the bottom that extends below the machine and sprayed it down with a cheap can of silicone spray making it even easier. Look forward to see what you come up with.

I am a bit of a steel worker too and obtained a length of 1" cold rolled steel and welded a piece of 1/4" plate to the top of it. Drill some holes for screws and screw it to a piece of (in this case) 2x4 lumber. Then I shaped it for the spoons I make. The hold down strap can apply lots of pressure, and works well for hand carving too. Thank you very much for commenting and subscribing. More to come, bear with me as I mix it up with saw milling and firewood gathering.

Thank you!!

Thanks Paul. I think it might be something Eastonmade might manufacture and offer. I know it's something I would purchase if available. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks Russ. Means a lot coming from a pro!

I'm getting older and have to make things easy! Appreciate the comment.

Thank you for stopping by and thanks for subscribing.

Thanks! and thanks for taking the time. I think there is a video in what I've filmed of it in use, and will add dimensions but it was a product of what was on hand so stay tuned.

Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.

Thank you! You make good videos and I will be checking them out in time.

Thanks for taking the time. Making work fun now matter the cost!!

Thanks Russ. I'm liking it!!

Thanks!

Yes, I fully wet them in an attempt to fully subjugate the grain raising, a final wipe with cloth backed paper, then walnut oil.

Carbide insert CCGT060202-AK. They are oriented sideways in the cut. I mill a pocket in a piece of 3/8 x 1/2 cold rolled, then fit and tig weld the holder into the knife. Thanks for asking, I really appreciate the questions.

@@hayesrutherford9415 I'm getting ready to move out to the country and I kind of like this!! LOL Thank you for replying so fast too!! :)

Thank you and thanks for commenting!

Thanks Be, appreciate the comment.

Great idea! Just getting going on the garden and will be sawing lots of birch.

Thanks Vicki, much appreciated.

You are welcome, thanks for commenting.

Thanks for taking the time Paul, much appreciated.

You can always try new ways and gravitate toward what you like best.

The cutters are diamond shaped carbide inserts. CCGT is believe is the designation. . I hope to make an updated video as that was an impromptu attempt with a cell phone. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated.

Thanks for watching, I will try to do that. I have made a number of accessories that fit in the banjo and that might just be the subject of a video.

Thanks and thanks for stopping by.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Don’t think you could have packed them any neater… a great deal; especially on this wet weekend. Nice dry wood.

Ha, ha, that was some really straight western red cedar. Thanks for watching.

He says it’s Cedar!

Ur guess is wild…

I love to paint it more than string it up. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for stopping by. From what I have seen so far, the tree is pretty plain, won't know about the crotch pieces until future but there is some!

@@hayesrutherford9415 From what I could see, it looks like it has a nasty bark inclusion.

@@paulhedman7387 You have a good eye, I'm working on it and the first 2" might not hold together on one side. Maybe a design opportunity for resin.

I'm gonna be busy for the next few days!! Thanks for stopping by.

I was fortunate, everything was cheaper 8 years ago. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Not white pine, birch and residential maple from local tree service.

Works well for my hobby stuff. Thanks for checking it out.

It really did leave a shock wave I never would have thought about until viewing it on camera. I have another video sawing lap siding and other boards from it. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

@@hayesrutherford9415 You're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to film and share.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm pretty new to making videos, it takes time and I'm learning!

Thanks for stopping by, I never mind making donut chucks, sometimes you can mix up the components for new situations.

It's slow but fun! Thanks for stopping by.

Dog plank is the last cut that is held by the "dogs" . Dogs vary with the different types of mills but in the case of thee mills the dogs would be the pipe clamps built into the bed.

Thanks Ben, its slow but steady!

You are so welcome!

Thanks for stopping by

Not usually mine! You must have bought some building materials, hell, buy anything these days!!
