I'm having issues with my wood chipper. For the second time in a month, I have gouged all of the blades. I'm not entirely sure what is causing it but my best guess is that the slabs I'm chipping are deflecting the flywheel into the bed plate, causing each blade to smack into the metal bed plate. Maybe this is due to chipping 6" wide slabs at the bottom of the intake opening. I'll mess with it another day.

Back to the sawmill. I'm learning a LOT. First, from research online. And second, from applying that new knowledge. The end result is much more stable lumber right off the sawmill. I've got enough cut and stacked to finish out the walls inside the shop.

JK Boots:

Hands down, without question, the best outdoor working boot that I have ever tried. They aren't cheap and they aren't inexpensive. The break-in period was brutal for me. But after some boot oil and a few working days for them to conform to my feet, I've never worked in anything as form fitting and comfortable.

My Lineup:

• O.T. Bison Canyon for everyday work
• Superduty Bison Shadow Roughout Smooth for earth work days
• The Buck Indigo Chocolate square toe western for days where quick on and off are valued
