4x4American
Got Sawdust?
Welp a while ago i seen an idea on here that inspired me to make my own csm. I added my own little twist to it, and I made my first cut with it this past weekend. The nice clear pictures are taken from my fathers smart phone, and the not as nice ones are taken with my not so smart camera phone.
Not sure why the not as clear pics came out as duplicates but cant figure out how to get them to go away.
After I made the first cut, I realized that the 2x4 wouldnt work for me, cause then i'd have to use a guide rail the whole time. So I now made a whole new design on a 2x8. With the 2x8 I figure I'll have enough meat to start the next cut. I added a handle on it to help push, I mounted the aux oiler better with a valve protector, I notched the squares where the chain rivets were hitting, I notched the other blocks to make for quicker adding or subtracting to the setup, I ground the chain that I was using from 30 degree top plate angle to 10 degree top plate angle, set rakers a little more than .025", not sure what the wood is, really would like to identify it...but I have some pics of how I got it out of the woods without skidding it, whilst using only a pickup, a peavey and some 3x10's. Will post those pics later. Anyways...
