Wow You really knocked out of the park with all that cutting. How many hours did you grind on that? That tiger iron is going to be interesting polished. The Mookie is always an eye catcher but you got a particularly nice one there.

About 17 hours from Sun up. I cut on slowest speed of my saw.so they come out clean. Gonna cut a few more of something then clean it out for the winter. Not going to worry about fresh oil till spring. I'm sure it's the same oil since Fank Howe , bought it sometime in the 60's ,this beast was sitting since 1978. Then I brought it home plugged it in and been cutting ever since didn't even change the belts, thought that was crazy.
