Fall is here. The maples and birch are starting to show color but we still have another 3 weeks before we hit peak. Here is a taste of fall running on the KMRR. More will come as the season progresses. cant wait for those first snow shots in the fall.
The sawmill is sitting out to get a little weathered before I put thompson water seal and clear coat on it.
I also started playing with my sawmill outside. I put a paver stone down as my base. The cart and track seemed a tad bit to wide so I decided to make it a little smaller. Made a big difference. I also started to gather up my materials for the saw and steam donky. I hope to start that project soon. My goal is to have it done before the snow comes. Winter time is the best time to cut trees for the KMRR. Now the stuff just has to sit out for a few weeks to get weathered nice.
Heres the saw blade. Its actually a dremmel blade. I m going to pick up,a few more to hang in the sawmill.
Looks like you've been having fun. Well done.

Hi Snowshoe. When you have had your share of the snow, send some to my side of the pond. Its no fun having a snow plugh and nothing to do with it.We like you are seeing the fall colours coming nice time of the year. Would love to have a white christmas cant remember the last time we had one.
Age is only a state of mind, keep the mind active and enjoy life
HI THERE,
YOUR SAW MILL IS LOOKING REAL GOOD. I LIKE THE TRACKS FOR THE CARRAGE AND THE SAW BLADE. YOU DIDN'T GO AND PURCHASE A NEW ONE DID YOU? ABOUT SAW BLADES FOR THE DREMEL.....LAST JANUARY I NAILED MY PALM WITH A SAW BLADE WHEN IT JUMPED. IT TOOK FOURTEEN STICHES AND HAPPILY (IF THAT CAN BE) IT ONLY CUT THE FAT OF THE PALM. BUT, 1400 DOLLARS LATER, WELL, I'M TRULY CAREFUL NOW AND CLAMP EVERYTHING DOWN WHEN USING IT. MY WIFE WAS NOT TOO IMPRESSED!!!!
THANK FOR THE PICTURES.
