I remember seeing something like that when I was a kid on a trip to Kabetogama. Some guy had it on his property. I don't remember whether it was an air boat or an air mobile. That far north, I think an air mobile makes more sense.

Looks almost identical to mine. A couple of different braces on the stand and different motor mount. No power switch on mine.
Nobody would confuse it with a Highland Park, but I think it's a great saw. It's tempting to get another one.

Mel will tell you that he changes the oil when it looks like chocolate pudding. I wait almost that long. I also filter the oil with the paper sacks. Lots of people use horse laxative from the local farm store (like Tractor Supply), so I can't see human laxative being any different.
In my 6" saw I've been using water and lubri-cool, but drain it after every use (about 1.5 cups). When I run out of lubri-cool, I'll give the anti-freeze a try.
Daniel (deb) has good advice on the blades. My WorkForce blade really stood up to abuse, but I get smoother cuts with a 303C.

John is correct on the shaft stock - mcmaster.com has it. Or if you're willing to live with the impact on the bearings, HD and Lowes both have bar stock, which is what I used. It's cheaper than shaft stock, so it doesn't cost as much to replace when you have a barrel blowout that grinds a groove in the shaft.

I'm not familiar with blackskin, but rind does not look like typical Montana. Great slab, regardless!

The 6 blade "super grinder" will eat the rocks very quickly. If you use the super grinder, regular grinder, or tile saw, you'll want to try to provide some shape to reduce the amount of tumbling time after grinding out the flaws. Regardless, you'll have to start them in the rough grind again, unless you really work at them with the wheel.
If you get a tile saw, stand behind it so that the water sprays away from you.
Some material will never produce a nice tumble; just as you get through some of the pits, new ones will appear. Ask connrock about his tumbling competition material.

I concur with Mel on this one. I've had tumblers stop when I wasn't checking on them and the sediment had cemented the rocks in the tumbler. You can get them going again; it takes a while for things to shake loose. I've tried digging the stuff out, but it's so hard that I found I would just rather start them up, even though they're sort of lopsided.

What an awful thing to experience, either as the patient or witness.
Thanks, Rich. I'll be sure to share with family and friends.

1. my kids having fun 2. campfires 3. and score another one for slender women in tight jeans (especially daisy dukes), although I gotta say I was leaning toward rocks in the saw...

Is that white crust hard or soft? If it's soft and fibrous I would worry about asbestos, but if it's not friable you should be fine.

Thanks for taking us along! Loved seeing the pitcher plants, in particular; I've always been fond of them because they're so unusual. Did you find anything to polish?

Great aurora! Thanks for sharing!
Reminds me of a night in Fairbanks where the aurora was directly overhead. It was green (although I was told it was red nearby) and didn't last very long, but ti was absolutely amazing. I wish I could see them on a regular basis.
