Bob,

I'd like to see what you have going on down there too. I can take you to this mill If you'd like.

The sash is not operating. In fact, they are in the very early stages of putting it back together. You could likely give them some advice.

I was there this past weekend and asked about the blade angle. You said yours is canted ahead 1/4 inch... Is this something you came up with as you refined things or was it standard practice for a sash saw? The guy I spoke to said their mill's blade was 90 degrees to the log... but I didn't get to speak to the "real deal." One guy worked there as a young man and is related to the man that actually ran it years ago. He's the one I need to ask to be sure.

But he's not answering his phone at the momment.
