Also tried a new to me method of drying small wood items . This white birch went from 32% down to 18% after a few 3 minute cycles with an hour cool down between cycles . I’ve done 10 so far and nothing cracked even an oak cookie came out clean

It was overloaded a tad . All green hardwoods single axle no brakesNot gonna get a @Kodiak Kid overloaded award for that SS.
Squareground3691, I may have hit the jackpot for that elusive chain number, looks like 3690 000 0078 for a 20" 23RS PRO Chain 78 DLYup ,

Crap I used the microwave.Magnifying glass?
No offense, but are you measuring the MC of the outside of your block only? The outside might dry faster than the middle. If you can once cool, cut off an inch and measure MC. I've dried small wood turning blocks gravimetrically inside a box with a fan heater with light bulbs.
Well I'll be doggone....that's interesting!
Now, if I could just get a microwave big enough to handle 1k bf at a time, I'd in business.
Possible but doubtful. These were /are used as props so they get standard mix... most likely 50:1
. But, any saw reved up without load won’t last long unless they both de-tune them and run a better mix ratio. Once I get into these I will contact the company with suggestions.
Kind of. Not as valuable as earlier century stuff, but still considered vintage.
Getting started, people usually make one more of three common mistakes:
-Not enough oil/grease
-Not preheating the pan for cooking too high or low.
-Trying to turn things over too soon before they fully cooked.
It just takes time and you’ll get used to doing it.
Regarding cooking I think it would be a lot of fun to have a big party with you guys. I also do own 34 acres about 25 miles away from here and we could swing in a GTG too.
Honestly, the reason why I’ve never done a GTG is a lot of the MN saw guys were loyal to mastermanipulator back when all the saw builder ******** went down on here and I got stuck in the crossfire because I was a moderator on here and ended up on the outs with most of them because of it. Obviously time has shown Randy’s true colors but at the same point a number of them won’t give me the time of the day. Frankly, their loss.
I consider the former owners friends but it was frustrating that they wouldn’t deal with problems on here and only gave the mods at the time a limited amount of authority to deal with the issues. I think if they had dealt with things directly that whole big blowup wouldn’t have happened. Oh well. Water under the bridge now.

We’ve all been doing it wrong all this time.
Vacuum sealers. What brands are you using? This will be used mostly for cooked vegetables from our garden.
