 All right, right now I want to cut this log off a little and first I'm gonna start by Making a little cut This is just a little tiny test cut so that I can Pivot the blade and see how well they're lined up See when I when I pivot the blade to horizontal it should cut right up to the edge of where it cuts vertically Hey, Carcane, you want to bring me a clamp? Hey bring me one of those clamps At some point I'll have some more official wave holding this up. Uh, yeah, I'm gonna cut it this way next Oh wait, I just realized I have to go this way cutting vertical and I have to go back cutting horizontal All right, let me just All right, that's better. Hopefully nothing flies out and hit the camera Oh, we got a cloud Maybe All right, how long is that cloud gonna be there? Oh, that was a big cloud Optimal day for doing this I was hoping I could get this little test done first. All right, let's wait a little bit All right, now you gotta hold the camera nice and stable All right captain you want his board right here from megadelhouse. Yeah So, yeah, I'm asking you. I'm not captain, but yeah. Oh my gosh All right, you have to stand over that way because I don't want you to be in line with the blade because anything that shoots out is gonna go right down All right, baby's out of the way. All humans are out of the way. Okay Sweet that is except I needed to cut a little bit deeper. Go put it with the other ones Around the bulldozer. All right, I think I think next we'll cut that part All right, you can stop for a second unless you want to get the the switching of the thingy Yeah, okay. Are you still on? It's still on. Oh, you've been going this whole time? Yes Okay, you didn't say stop before. Yeah, that's fine. Yesterday when I was testing the vertical and horizontal cut I want to put this up all the way It was a little bit too far this way. So It made a little shim And it appears that's the right that puts it right at the right size So I guess I'll rivet that on later. I'm not doing it right now. I just don't feel like it Yeah, without a little spacer It'll cut a vertical and horizontal and actually have the meat and take off the piece Um, okay right now I want to raise it up a bit I have to raise it up enough to get to get that bolt clear All right, yeah, you know, it'd be really good to know how many spokes it takes to get that bolt clear All right, remember this humans I think seven will actually do it, but if I go up eight spokes the bolt under the the blade is totally clear Just make sure it's still tight. I have to move the whole thing over but my clamp is gonna hit So I better switch All right, I'll get this process all smoothed out soon I'll make some kind of Not automated, but like easier to do Position holder clamp riser or something or others This is good enough for Tess. Oh, yeah, I gotta move it over. Okay. What am I going to? What I'm doing there is just Making sure the blade is not like tilting up or down as it goes through It looks like it's tilting down a little bit actually I'll have to get it lined up really well and then make some kind of Hold the riser that Kind of locks it into position Although it's not off by much when it is. I haven't had a situation where Couldn't get through Okay, you guys are gonna be careful now. Well, the blade's shooting that way. Okay, you should be fine Should not off Should not a camera Gave me well, I'm really happy with this uh When the sun's out obviously and I still haven't cleaned off the solar panels. I'm gonna get more power probably gonna get like 15% more power 20% more when I clean all that dirt off Yeah, this thing is working really really well No, no, no, don't lean on that. Don't lean on that. Don't move it If this if the log moves at all, I won't be able to get it lined up the same way And then I'll have to yeah, I won't be able to keep the cuts lined up Man that came out really nice So this is the coconut tree wood And I was not expecting it to be Like it's kind of nice wood It's really dense I dropped a piece in the water and it sunk like a rock Um and when I was cutting these oh one thing is when I was cutting I was using three clamps to hold the saw kind of in position. It turns out one of the clamps I totally don't need it. I ended up not using it. It's the one that was like Kind of clamping the the whole saw part keeping it from tilting like forward and back But it doesn't seem to like it seems to stay really well. So I just have the clamp Keeping the whole thing from sliding and then the one clamp You know holding it up when I'm cutting horizontal and then when it's down It doesn't it only needs the one clamp to keep it from moving sideways And probably at some point I'll have some built-in thing where you know, I move it to the right spot and then you know Pull a handle or something lock it in place. I also need to make like little little marks along You know along the horizontal part of the saw so I can so I know how Like where I'm moving it how wide boards I'm cutting and everything the up and down is already very well measured because There's a wheel on the side That you know raises and lowers the whole thing and that wheel has spokes on it and I clip something to the spokes so for instance if I If I do it if I do a cut And then move down two spokes I get this thickness and then If I move down Four spokes that was this I'm pretty sure that one was a four spoke And uh, yeah, I think I just did two two and four spokes. These are four spokes So I guess at some point I'll figure out exactly what a two by four is like how many spokes per inch There are although I don't I don't really feel like I need to stick I don't know. Maybe I should stick to those measurements Although if I'm going to make two by fours, I'm going to make true two by fours So they're not going to match the store ones anyway. So I guess I can use whatever measurements I want Uh, imperial noodle units Otherwise known as inches or centimeters, whatever Anyway, oh these are these are some of the boards that I cut and they came out really really nice like the surface is Oh, it's like it doesn't have to be sanded at all. It's really really nice surface And uh, like look how pretty the The coconut tree wood is It's really nice These I believe are going to be for a doll house that my daughter was Is going to make she was kind of directing me on What sizes pieces I should make What sized pieces I should make anyway Uh Yeah, so for the first test of the lumber mill actually cutting something. Oh, so happy with it and um I can cut I can cut two inches deep No problem like just You know, obviously when the sun is out because it runs directly off solar power. So You know, I could I could cut the width of this Pretty quickly without without difficulty Something like this is about five inches wide It's actually just under it's almost five inches wide This I could do in two passes Or or three, but I can do it in two pretty pretty easily Um, I can do it in one pass, but I have to go real slow like the blade kind of seems to get bogged down but two passes Goes really well and this is almost the the widest board I can make Which I think is totally fine. I mean this kind of saw you can't cut the huge wide slabs So I can cut like a little bit over a five inch board So I don't know probably out to like there That much So, you know, I can cut a two by five and a quarter Or a five and a quarter by a five and a quarter whatever. Um, anyway, I'm super happy with it. I'm really happy with this So is this your new mustache? No, it smells really good. Oh, you're smelling it. I thought you were holding you were just holding it like this I thought you were making it a mustache it does It does smell really good. Actually when I was cutting this it smelled like oh, sorry I'll give you a piece of wood back. It smelled like like candy like cooking candy You know, like if you're making candy apples or something or caramel corn Not that I do that anymore because I don't really eat sugar anymore But I still remember the smell and when I was cutting it it totally smelled like Like cooking sugar Um, I guess the it's a coconut tree has a lot of sugar in it um Which would explain why the coconuts Are so delicious And the coconut water is so delicious. So delicious, right? All right. Well, I think I think I'm going to shut up now I'm hoping That my daughter got some good video of when I was cutting I'm going to have to go check that and hopefully I can go make a video right now Uh, there is another thing I still have to do to the saw I mean besides clean off the solar. Oh, it's raining right now The solar panels are getting kind of clean off. Jesus. Maybe I should go up there with a rag and some soap No, whatever. Anyway, I still have to put Like concrete circles under the the two track bars um pipes To you know to make sure the real level because right now Uh, as I'm rolling the thing Like they're not supported the whole way So the saw kind of dips down a little bit and goes back up and it gets to one end And it's you know, the ground's a little lower there So that the pipes tip back and the you know, I just have to it's not much I could still I could still cut pretty good cuts, but once I get that lined up, you know, really really good. It'll cut Even straighter than it already does which is already pretty straight
