November 30, 20205 yr Popular Post Needed a couple of spacers so I ripped this in half. Set it on the workbench and seen this. My first one. There is a second depression just below the bullet that I think may be a another bullet.
November 30, 20205 yr Looks like a lead bullet which wouldn't ruin the blade. Crazy how it is sliced almost perfectly in half. I saw that once before. I was using cedar lumber sawn from utility poles.
November 30, 20205 yr I've done that with a chainsaw, but not my table saw. Looks like you nailed it dead center.
November 30, 20205 yr Author Popular Post It is an older blade so no loss. I never noticed anything during the cut. Considering it's 2020 I was happy it didn't fly out and hit me.

Yeah explain that one to insurance company. I got hit by this bullet cutting a board on my saw. Yeah sure.. they'll want pictures, letter from your friend brother, DNA sample etc etc.

December 2, 20205 yr Popular Post My grandmother died when I was a kid. To help pay her medical bills, my grandfather had the woods on his farm harvested for lumber. They had a sawmill on site. One day, they hit a horseshoe that had been encased in a tree's crotch. That hurt a bit. Apparently before metal detectors. The smell of mule manure and rotting sawdust is still engrained in my mind.

While clearing trees here before we built the house, i found out that the original 50 acres had been used for cattle - even back in the woods. The trees smelled like cow patties all those years later.
