Apparently if u have the cordless vacume with blue teeth the saw will tell the vanume to start when u press the trigger on the saw. Then I guess when the saw stops it tells the vaccine to stop also.
It would be pretty handy for keeping the dust down and the room cleaner.
Being a framer it kinda is an un needed extra at this point.
I'm wanting to build a 14x16 cabin with 4 sided logs. I want to use dovetail corners and joints. This saw will make all the female cuts for the dovetails. Plus it will cross cut 14"× 4 1/4" . And other beam cuts.

Currently 4 above
Calm fkws in the stove.

 

A beautiful 32 with light snow falling. Fall shoulder season round 4 is coming up in a couple days Currently burning a mix of black birch and sugar maple shorties.

 

Well that changed, earlier one I saw was for a slightly cooler than avg. winter with about avg. precip. Must be La Nina left the planet again? We've had three pretty decent winter days here, I hope that's not all we get. I'm gonna be really screwed if I get another year of no to limited log skidding. Most of it will rot by then.

 

I read the jet stream is stalled, so maybe you are on the arctic side of it. It said Alaska is getting a deep freeze at least. The map showed a good portion of the lower 48 with above avg
temps

 

I'm betting not, I think we're in for another warm wet winter. Gonna pull up stakes & move into Rope 's spare room pretty soon.

 

30 and snow here now, and I have a nice fire with red oak and ash going. It's supposed to get warmer this weekend.

 

19 out right now, got some basswood and maple in the OWB.

 

26F here, no wind & cloudy. Red Oak & Soft Maple.

 

I'm very happy to report a very positive maiden voyage for the new miter saw today.
Very very nice. Smooth as glass. Lots of power. Very happy with it.
When I started working today it was 4 or 5 above. When I got done at around 3 it was 11 below. Some things , I'm just not derterous enough in the fingers and hands to do with gloves on . It's a real pain to have to stop and come in to warm up my hands. Or stick them in the exuast hole of the generator box to warm up. I do as much as I can with gloves on but digging a driver bit out of the bit pocket . Or screws or nails out of their pouches . Is a thin glove or bare handed show.
It is amazing to me that a battery operated 12" miter saw can have as much power as a corded saw. But somehow it does.

Took almost 4 hours to frame this end/ rake wall. Probably 45 minutes of that was beating ice off the lumber.
The saw is easy to fully operate with thick insulated gloves on . So that's a Big plus for me.

 

23/71
Burning down coals with pine

 

31, added some red and white oak to the coals before I go to work. That’s as low as it goes for at least a week.

 

22 out, 72 in. Oak, oak and more oak in the box.

 

27F this morning. I put in some redbud, black locust and red maple last night around midnight and the house was 71F when I woke up at 6:30(thermostat set to 69). Mission success!
The best part was when my little 4yo girl woke up and said “look at the fire, It’s so big!,” right after I got the coals going again.

 

Woke up to 24 out, starting to snow a little bit, but there is a 15 mph wind. Basswood and maple in the OWB

 

It was 26 when I went to bed last night and 33 when I woke up. Supposed to be 60 tomorrow. Still waiting on winter to show up.

Boiler still working on soft maple from yesterday. Got about 3 loads left and I'm rid of that stuff.

 

36 out/77 in. Mix - Ash, Poplar, and Pine.

 

27 windy and warming.
