    I was thinking, oh, his blade found a nail, or imbeded barb wire. Those can kill a blade quick. We used a small metal detector for questionable spots, and had an extra saw blade in case. Glad yours was a quick fix Chad. Keep it up!🐈‍⬛

    Great tip Chad, I had a Wasp in my ear muffs one time when the were in the garage. Good thing I did not wear them. I now always check for bugs. Maybe slow the water down some, you can add some dish soap to the water Chad. It helps lube the blade. Keep on Sawing !😁

    Good morning Chad and Ms. Olive. I enjoy every visit to the farm via the internet. lol Your saw mill is interesting, however, Ms. Olive steals the show for me. lol Ms. Olive has stolen my heart and can't get enough of her. Every time I look at Ms. Olive I see Molly which is bittersweet but yet filled with wonderful memories. I look so forward to your videos and thank you again for sharing the farm life with all of us. Until Mondy, have a fun weekend.

      As you can imagine everything in our life reminds us of Molly, but Olive is always there for us. Even though she is also hurting. She whines a lot more than usual, she’s not super excited about dinner time, she doesn’t wanna go to bed are just some examples. She our rock these days but I think we’re also her rock.

    The imperfections in milled lumber are referred to as wane.
    Boiled linseed oil can be used to seal the end grain on the timbers.
    You could mount a Mil-Surp ammo can on the mill to store ears, eyes, gloves and various other sundries. They seal with a heavy rubber gasket on the lid to keep moisture and critters out. There are quite a few sizes available.

    I love those Saturday sawmill videos!! 😃However, as soon as I saw the title of the video I was hoping that it was something that you could fix!! Do you know this knot you get in your stomach when something happens to an expensive object you bought and your whole inside is tightening up? That was what I felt when I read the title lol!! I'm glad you could fix it, but I really do think they should have stated that in the manual... 🤔🤔

      Most manuals are so ridiculously detailed in safety tips you roll your eyes when reading them. It seems this was an oversight with the manual writer not to warn about it this possibility. The muffler alone would generate enough heat to make the tube sag. Maybe they could have designed that section a little differently?
