Thanks Sandy I love how you tell the tooth the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth, sorry just had to do it.

you've made me remember why I don't resharpen my own blades. lol, these take a lot of time and effort to spend setting and sharpening for me.

Thanks again Sandy. Great camera work as usual. Congrats on 20,000 Subs. You deserve it!

Well done. Outstanding block of instruction.

it is either a snow machine or water jet ski knowing you Sandy it is probably the elephant in the room.

I've been thinking about those tools for sharpening my blades. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Sandy !! Nice Video again.

I am about to start this video. I appreciate you doing it because i have wondered about these machines.

I like both machines....the automated tooth advancer and sharpening machine is very nice, low tch and yet works perfectly.

Thanks again Sandy for explaining your blade sharpening setup. I think your next project is a replacement bridge so your duffer cart won't careen off into the moss when you get it airborne .

Another good vid on the blade sharpening, an thanks for the quick tour around on the golf cart, glad you figured out the issue with it! In regard to your golf cart being made in Japan, when I’m looking for used tools I’ll usually try look for older brands of tools that are made in Japan. I’ve always found older tools and equipment from Japan are good quality :). Cheers Sandy!

Under the tarp looks like a Motorcycle or Snow Bike, good video...

It's an underwater basket weaving machine?? LOL it's all good Sandy cant wait to see it later. love the behind the scenes work that goes into keeping all the machines up n running!

Have you done any videos showing how to fold and unfold blades? I’ve watched quite a few videos but may have missed it. Thanks for all the info! Recently purchased a used HM130 and you have already answered A LOT of questions. Really enjoy the channel.

Great tutorial video and was very interesting

That is awesome, I have been wondering what the sharpeners looked like in action.

Thanks for another video. I haven't ordered me a sharpener or setter yet. Just checked on the setter and it's 4 months (ship by September 30).

Very informative video !! Thank you , I bought a sharpener for my chainsaw. I hear I do a good job...lol I sharpen chains for couple buddies. Can’t wait for new project . To short for a snow sled .but never know . Thanks. Craig. Pa.

I've got that exact same dart board. :) Love your stuff, Sandy. My HM130MAX is on order and I can't wait for it to get here.

Hi Sandy, looks like you got a snow mobile under that tarp

You have some really cool toys.

smart

When you start throwing parts at a vehicle it always comes down to a bad wire. It’s usually a ground though. Nice golf cart.

I am Two hours North of Elliot Lake. I hope under the tarp is not my missing Snowmobile. Just kidding.

I recognised its profile right away - thats a lathe under the tarp

great vid Sandy, I think you have an Edger for your mill under the tarp ;) Cheers from Aus

Hi Sandy. Have you tried different thooth angle?? I've tried 7 degrees for hard wood and I've also sharpened at 14 degrees for soft wood. I've made a test in red maple with the 7 degrees. Haven't tried the 14 yet. Do you always use 10 degrees??

I noticed on you ride all the trees in your forest were is straight lines and evenly spaced was the forest planted by man?

Your blade sharpener and gummer set up is the same as we used in shake mills. We cut cedar into cordwood lengths and then made three quarters of a inch boards with a splitting machine that would just rattle them off in like stacks of what was comfortable for the sawyer to pick off the conveyor where he would pick each one up and guide it into the saw blade and start on one side and finish on the other leaving the spilt board to be sawn into on the inside of each board making it able to lay flat on a roof and shed water hence shakes for peoples roofs. I used to do everyone of the sawyers blades for them keeping blades uniform in sharpness and usable on any shake saw in the mill. Different people do blades differently and subsequently blades that handle differently on the saw it is on. A person who is green in this area or lazy can get a good sawyer cut badly as I can attest to as I would shuttle them to a doctor to see if the fingers can be reattached or they are just going to be missing. I personally know how it feels to cut a finger off and get it reattached to me... one finger has been reattached two times and is still quite numb to this day forty years later. Nice job showing people what goes on Sandy

Hi sandy im new to your channel and i must say i love the hillbilly hide out 2.0 playlist. I recently ordered the 130 max and you helped my disition on which one to pick thank you for your videos

Awesome video as usual..:) I bet its a Kawasaki Snow Mobile under the cover....? Although I did notice in one of your tiny home builds in 2019, there was a small boat in your workshop and maybe you are doing that up..?

We are on manitoulin. We got a lumber pro 36 Norwood. Are you in Ontario canada. Are you close to manitoulin

I've got old blades been hanging in the shop for years. Will rusty blades sharpen up and work?

Do you have to buy this apparatus to fit a certain tooth pitch. Or can it work on different ones

Great video Sandy. I always learn something with each video! Where did you get all the cages? All I can find around here have the water tank too and they’re quite expensive.

So doing this extends the life how many times? Did you ever buy the extra parts kit. Comes with bearing belts and blades? How many blades you go through? Curious cause I'm going to build my own house. You think the wood would be dry enough if I mill it over winter and use in summer?

Looks like a stump grinder

Sandy what is your degree of angle on your sharpener and I believe you got a souped up scooter under that tarp just to fly around on your trails lol 😂 only for your visitors hahahahaha have a great day sandy and keep making man glitter ✨ 😆

Wow That is very interesting, who knew saw sharpening could be so fast, looks like you are having fun doing all this except for the blackfly. Great camera work, how long do you spend doing all the editing and spacing for your interesting videos? Cheers

Some two stroke engines can be temperamental. Carburetors gum up to easy. Constantly replacing diaphragm

My first thought is that a motorcycle is under the tarp.

Hi Sandy, Don’t know if anyone has asked, where do you get your cages from? Looking at using the same thing for my split lumber. Cheers, KJ

I have to know what did the wire go to? I know what's under the tarp it's a 100 proof sludge maker.

Is your future project going to be a golf cart manufacturer unit ..? 😂

Hey Sandy. I have been learning from your videos. You seem to have the best ones on here. I just bought and am waiting on delivery of the 122. Do you use the blades offered by W.M. or do you us another brand?

Hi, so when the sharpener in in action it looks like it sharpens at zero degrees across all sets. Is that correct?

If i had to guess what is under the tarp i would say a new attachment for your tractor because of your new jacket at the beginning of the video

My guess is a new more automated log splitter is hiding under that tarp spring offers savings on them.

So sharpening the top of the tooth is bad right?

Glasses. Hello. Glasses. Or goggles.

Hi Sandy, I've enjoyed many of your videos. My HM130 max is ordered and on it's way. I ordered many accessories to go with it including a ten pack of blades. I've had a hard time deciding about the sharpener. I didn't order it with the mill as the almost $1k for the sharpener and tool setter is a bit much for wallet at the moment. While I love the idea of being self sufficient and being able to sharpen my own blades I have to ask is it worth it? I'm obviously new to sawmilling and I don't know quite a bit. At $25 per blade it takes 40 blades to equal $1k. How long would it take to go through 40 blades? Any info you can give would be helpful, thanks.

Wondering why you are not giving back of the tooth a little touch?

Do you have a regular job ? Or just saw and cut wood ?

If the sharpener runs past...it should not touch the blade..no worry of it ruining your blade.

shingle maker

Starts at 8:00 .. speaking of 'noisy' introductions.... phew .. that's 40% 'noise' at the start of the episode straight away.

Saw blades terminator. 5

Maybe a different splitter.

Its a snowmobile

I think you’re building yourself a new log splitter.

Too big for an espresso maker, so my WAG is that it is a Ford 8n tractor.

Sandy, where is that where you work and living, canada usa or???

Im guessing its a bigger sawmill

Isn’t it funny how much it cost to be self reliant now a days?

MISTAKE!!!! You should sharpen first then set as when you sharpen your set goes down!

it is a motor cycle with a side car

If it’s covered it’s not dancing girls.

Well, whatever is under the tarp is not tall enough to be a Zamboni. . .

While I appreciate self reliance, the cost is questionable/practable. The setter is $299 and the sharpener is $699 ( not counting freight). I buy blades from GA at $16 each delivered. I would have to sharpen 63 blades before breaking even.

They are a lot of money do really think they are worth it.

Wow it's auto lol

Sandy, appreciate the video but you'd do better editing out the irrelevant bits. So far 3 minutes in and not a bit about blades. Post this stuff in a separate video!
