Yesterday I was able to get out and do some milling with the nice weather. I had a few honey locust logs delivered to the front yard by the local tree company. I used my new aux oiler for the first time. It is a 14" piece of ABS, capped on one end, and a clean out on the other. In the end of the cleanout, I drilled a hole, and put in a tire stem valve so that I can pressurize the oil tank. Then I have a ball valve to control the flow. Worked real nice, but the clean out tends to leak air, even with teflon tape. But holds long enough to make one cut. I still am using my 066, but the 084 is back from Dean, and it'll be used shortly for milling once I get a few tanks of gas through to break in the new cylinder/piston. The honey locust slabs look real nice. The piece i just cut up, was a crotch that had five leaders coming from the same place, so it left some real nice grain, and a unique shape. I have two nice 3 1/2" slabs that I got that will look beautiful bookmarked and made into a table top. As required, here are some pics.
