 Well, that's definitely not the kind of wood those things meant to cut however, I just want to Get the teeth into some wood and see how it does So see if I can make a little cut along the top of this I'm not gonna get that with the chainsaw, you know, I got almost all the way through there's just a bit at the bottom connected that maybe if I kick it I can crack it open and See the surface I'm dealing with here Before I do that though, I just have to admire the that the blade Not the blade thickness the cutting thickness is really good so my blade has a tiny bit of a wobble when I When I mounted it on there and turned it all the way around it wobbled like I Don't know like less than a millimeter Back and forth as it went around and I figured that was acceptable. It would cut a slightly fatter line. Oh, yeah, that's really Barely connected it would cut a slightly fatter line Which takes a little more energy to cut that however with a slightly fatter line It means the blade is never going to get pinched And that's the thing that really slows down the saws the most at least in my experience Particularly if you're cutting any wet wood because if you're cutting cutting wet wood as you're cutting You know, it tends to warp and maybe expand in places and stuff and it just pinches the blade really easily So I think I'm gonna leave that blade a little bit crooked I mean just a tiny bit crooked So it cuts this fatter line so the blade can keep going through Because at no point did it seem like the the blade was getting bogged down by by any kind of pinch So yeah, that was really nice cuts a slightly fatter line, but totally fine All right, let's see if we can break this open I could go another pass, but now I move the log My lumber mill went through the second was nothing saying hardly had anything to cut and it took forever All right, let's see that surface there. Oh Man, that is nice Wow I mean you see where I kind of stopped and backed up and You know screwed up the the surface a little but where I was just going smoothly Which is what I'd normally do man. That is a really nice surface I'm not gonna have to plane that at all It is really nice This isn't even dried wood. Oh This probably doesn't come out on camera nearly as well. It doesn't real life man. That is such a nice surface Yeah, no sanding needed at all. You see a little bit of saw blade marks, but Yeah No, that's great. I Hope they keep getting that kind of surface You know, it's funny. I haven't even done anything with the track here It's just two pipes laying on the on the ground in the dirt. I Was gonna put the little concrete pieces under each one They're kind of like a kind of like you'd have a railway tracks I don't even know if I'll bother now. I'll probably will at some point, but the thing works. Oh, it's beautiful The other thing Well, I guess there's a few, you know finishing little touches right now To move to move the whole saw part This way I just do it by hand shove it around and then I just attached a clamp to make sure that while I was while I was cutting it didn't you know Vibrate one direction or the other and then on the up and down. I was I was going to Put a clamp here, but I forgot to put it And it seems to be totally fine. I don't think it needs anything it just you know This raises and lowers and It's heavy enough that it stays right where it's put Which is great. Oh I love this thing and then though the other thing I still have to do is Clean off all these solar panels. I'm probably losing 10% of my power Maybe more these things are pretty dirty. Yeah, there's a little cleanish spot Wow, yeah, that was really dirty. I definitely need to clean those Man that was oh That is a really good first test. Oh, I'm really happy with that You know when you make something from scratch you put kind of a lot of effort into it and you just Spend a bunch of time making a thing. I Was I was nervous to test it because you never know if you made a piece of garbage or you made something useful but man When you turn it on and the frickin thing works spectacularly and makes like oh Yeah, look at that surface. Oh, it's so it's so nice Look at that. Oh, that was a beautiful first test. I'm really really happy with that. Oh So good. I'm not even in optimal conditions yet Because the Sun's a little bit high. I got a bit of cloudiness And a nice clear blue sky day Yeah Now someone's gonna ask. What do you do when it's dark out? I only cut I'm only gonna be able to use this when the Sun is out and it's like clear And I'm comfortable with that I'm not running some mill operation where the Sun needs to be running 12 hours a day This will be a this will be one of those things where Basically, I can I can just use it when when it's a clear sky Sometime in the morning to early afternoon after that the Sun's too far And I kind of like having things that way Because then it forces me to not do one thing all day because if I have to cut wood I'll have a tendency to be like, oh, let me just go 12 hours a day Like when I was cutting wood with a chainsaw I'd go there first thing in the morning and just like all day all day all day And it's it's exhausting. It's tiring just doing the same thing all day But this way you know, I can do this I can do this half a day on certain days and other times I have to do other things and And that's good because I have a lot of different things I need to do Man, I'm so happy with that. It was so Yes Well, let's hear it one more time. All right, just then I had full sign Yeah, full sign So good, oh so good Man, I need to get a log up here. Oh my gosh, I cool. Oh, I gotta get a log up here. I Think when this is not in use I Do not leave the blade on it. I don't want to sit out here and rust So it's pretty easy to get off just loosen that nut take it off. Let's see how tight it got Oh It's a pretty sweet blade, you know, if I want to be able to cut faster. I Could take some of these teeth off or I could just go online and order it a Blade with fewer teeth. I'm sure I can find one. This one has 40 teeth It's 12 inch blade 40 teeth Maybe I should try to get a 10 now with fewer teeth. It'll cut faster, but a little rougher This thing cuts so smooth though It could be a lot rougher and still be really smooth Maybe I don't know. I don't have to worry about it right now. I have two of these blades they're gonna last me a while and I'm not gonna have any dire need to cut faster right away Maybe I'll just keep my eyes out for one. Oh, I'll just order one it'll get here eventually and then I'll
