Instead of recycling the old blade, consider finding a hobbyist knife maker - that is good steel. I just finished a knife made from a smaller blade and it came out fine.

Woodelf engraved 9075 into the middle of the tree.

How many thousands of dollars worth of slabs does each $160 blade cut? That's such a good investment!

[jeffforbes]

Great video as expected. That log produced some beautiful slabs. BTW. perfect toss on slab four...thought sure you'd mention it.

[thorzyan]

All of those off cuts look like they’re a trip through a planer away from being very nice cutting boards.

[garymiller]

Thank you Matt, that was a very relaxing, entertaining video! Excellent job …

[patriciamay]

It's all filed under "character". Lovely wood

I am still entertained by your blade journey. You started out with the cheap blades and had to change blades every 2 or 3 logs. Then you tried the bimetal blades. Then you went with the good stuff. You now talk about the "annual" blade change. So the expensive blades are cheaper than the "cheap" blades.

[Bunk]

Ever consider mounting a laser to help with log positioning. Love watching what you are up to.

[robsmith]

I really liked the diagonal grain run on the first cut - I guess a couple of slabs from that area would make a really spectacular table top

[rhondasweeney]

I absolutely love when you cut logs. Thank you for sharing

¡Increíble transformación! Quién diría que esos troncos 'basura' tendrían tanta belleza oculta. ¡El trabajo con la sierra es pura maestría! 👏💪

[Boxerdude]

Great video. Weird question. What do you do with all the sawdust? Inquiring minds want to know.

Hi Matthew, Thank you, Thank you for being my spare time ( I have lots of it, I am 80 years old/young) entertainer. Your videos are always very interesting to watch. I have been following you for years and each week I can't wait to see what's next. I especially have enjoyed the remodel series that I think might be ending soon. Can you say, if you know when, or what, the next series you are planning on doing is going to be about? Thank you again for all the time and "GREAT EFFORT" that you put into your love affair with wood. Keep up the great work!

Good show today. Glad to see you taking your time and enjoying your self. Good tangents as well. I realize the house project and all the pieces that fall under that umbrella take precedence, but the log sawing videos are very enjoyable. Thanks and take care. Hope all your family are doing well.

[stevenowell]

been watching your videos for years. Love the SlabMaster

[DAHBHONG]

Thanks for the new video Matt. I bet you already have regained the dollars you spent for this great Machine, and you also have gained friends thru this very handy sawmill. Thanks and Keep inspiring. GBU

Matt, thoase last few pieces had some amazing figure. I Agee, a log can still surprise us at how beautiful the wood hiding inside is! Thanks for the video.
