Please, if you're going to take LSD back away from the design table.
Good grief, 73 octane...did they even have 5 to 1 compression back in the day?
I put a lot of hours in on a mill like that when my buddy was building his cabin. For as simple as they are it’s amazing what they would cut.
I forget the name of the place.
It's near the South East corner of Sunset Boulevard and Mountain Vista in Las Vegas.
Love me some good spam musubi.
We had no idea that at the time living the best of it

A bandsaw mill is a lot simpler, but way slower and less versatile. My grandpa's is a mobile dimension saw, and I think they still make them. It's got two edgers, so once you've got the first board off, you can get two with each following pass if they're narrow. It's got an aircooled VW engine punched out to something like 1800cc, and a rope that wraps around the crank to start it. Something like 14 V-belts to drive everything, and no clutch to disengage them for starting either. I've got some of the 8x10 promotional shots from when he bought it, showing one of them cribbed up on about a 12-14' log, just working away at it. It came on a trailer that could be used to pull it to a site in the woods, but he always used it as a stationary saw.

He deserved much more than a flower pot on the head.
NGL, that’s pretty cool. How do you reckon it would cut through something like mesquite? Twists and turns all though it with a ton of knots.
Probably be slow going, but it's got carbide inserts on the main and edger blades, so it would probably cut fine as long as it's good and sharp, and no rocks hiding in it. I think it'll cut something like a 5"x14" beam, the shot I posted earlier was just using the bottom edger to clean up some green maple slabs my brother cut with his chainsaw. The widest slabs we did that day was 28", so multiple passes for sure.
We shouldn't have bothered with squaring them up while green, I wasn't able to get near enough weight on them to stop them from warping while drying. They've been drying in my shed for 3 years now, probably going to make a table and a couple benches for the deck out of them. I've also got a fir tree that split off into 3 to use as a base.

Yep that’s identical to my buddy’s, they pulled it out of some blackberries and gave a guy a $1000 bucks for it. I helped them rebuild the saw and engine on it. Back when he was building logging roads he could bring home 5-6 foot diameter fir old growth. We cut a lot of that for the main structure of the cabin. For siding we did cedar.
That sounds like a pretty good life right there. Beats the hell out of a cubicle farm.
That's some big fir. There's a few trees like that around here still, but not many. I was back to the biggest one I've seen around here last week, but it's dead now. My dad cut some similar size ones from the same area back in the 70's and said they were between about 450-600 years old.

7:30 on Sunday nights was Disney time.
Dang bro that looks like so much fun to be able to do that.
The guy I buy from is turning it all over to his son but he’s still out there every day. I bought a little chainsaw guide to try to cut some beams but haven’t used it yet.
Very jelly over here.
I just want to say again how much I appreciate all of you.

the last 3 and a bit years should have taught us to listen to everything and believe nothing
Going to turn in the Clinton’s , see how that goes
It also depends on the tire itself, how it is made, how it is stored, is it sitting on a car outside or is it un mounted in a dark cool room. There are many things that go into it.
Story time:
Many moons ago when a Cadillac dealership also had the Jaguar franchise I worked for them. Major Cadillac in KC. The Jags did not move real well, and got discounted pretty heavy near the end of the model year. This is XJ6 days. (Still love that car)
When sold they would come back with horrid vibrations, wheels out of balance, and they flat would not balance. Pull them down and inside there would be these little golf ball sized rubber balls.
What was happening the tire was coming apart from the inside, the car sitting for so long ruined the tires. I had never seen anything like it. Several cars had the issue.
I also had race tires that left un mounted and in my garage went three years before being mounted and run, I did not notice any difference. Differences in tire brands and compounds yes but old and new, no.....but they are not that old.
I still have a few old cars that don't see a great deal of use. One with "real" wire wheels, tubes in the tires. On the tubeless general shape of the tire will be looked at, and I will make a decision to keep or replace. If I know the history and know that car has sat on flat tires for even a year yes I will replace it, or if it has been outside I will replace it.
Same with motorcycles, depends more on condition then age.
Make the straight 6 great again
. I just happen to have one on order, but it doesn't have spark plugs, though.
I love this car.....but then again I do like the orphans. I really enjoyed this video.
Got to talking about "unloved" cars, and told a story of a Chevette diesel I saw at a local car show not long ago, it was perfect. You just don't see them anymore and it was getting quite a bit of attn.
Seen one mustang you seen them all, but when was the last time you saw a perfect showroom fresh chevette. You know you would stop and look.
