You can imagine early explorers asking 'what is this place' and being told it was Sahara - which it is :)
( Sahara from Arabic ṣaḥrā‘ 'desert'. )
And soon I will live in the Black Desert and not the Black Forest. The Black Sahara has a good ring to it!
Makes me wonder how many Native American/First Nation place names really translate to "big damn rock", or "place where the bear ate Joe."
Things that make you go "Hmmmmm"
Painted it yesterday, was the worst thing I've ever painted, (as expected). Put it up on the car hoist and sprayed a gallon of paint on the underside and internal parts. At that point I had 1/2 a gallon on me. Then moved it outside and opened up the log deck. Used almost the second gallon.
The supplier was to have the paint here Tuesday, missed the truck, got the paint to me Wednesday but forgot the catalyst. Got that at 11:30 yesterday and finished at eight o'clock last night.

Bolted down some Elm planks for the log chute.
Still need to change the ratio on the feed chain.

Lookin' good. Video in ___ hours?
Naaar It's Gonta take a month for the paint to dry.
Brian.
Guess Greg needs to break down and build a paint drying kiln. Just another project, he can handle it.
Well the paint dried, still hot here. Got about a cord cut Monday, video to follow. Then I broke it. The good news is the parts store is close by. The arm that connects the hydraulic cylinder to the saw failed. Think it was hitting the frame when the saw came up, I thought it was bottoming the cylinder. Opps.

Revision A is heavier. The original was 1/2 plate, the new ring is 3/4 with 1/2 inch more wall. Welded the old arm to it.

Made the ring out of my stock of mystery metal. Might be wear plate, work hardened when I tried to drill it. Used carbide drills to 11/32 then had to use a HSS to final size. Must have ground it 50 times on the 8 holes to keep the corners of the cutting edge.
Rain tomorrow, Friday is sawing day.
