Gaaah, what did I get myself into here with this 46 kg monstrosity…?! I can hardly lift it myself. This will be interesting to get through the bandsaw.
I really gotta learn to say no to such things But it's one nice long cherry log…
(Oops, did I say one? I meant three – the other ones are hiding out of frame. Luckily they're a bit lighter!)

Two logs and another broken screw extraction later. One log to go.
Somehow my body aches a lot today. I can only imagine how people must have felt after sawing logs to boards 100 years ago.
@daniel_bohrer Hard work, for sure! None the less I still have the wish, to try out a whale saw one day, in my mind.
I’d like a whale saw. Hard to find. Reflecting on it, I’d prefer over a frame saw from the standpoint of handling/balance.
For ripping smaller milled boards, though, like done in the vid, it’s easier done with a primed panel saw. Sellers shows a great technique, and it’s fast.
Short logs, like Daniel is cutting, poses the problem of holding them without special vice builds.
Longer logs are ideal for the whale, I would guess. And no need for a rowing machine. :)
@wedge Totally agree, even though the frame saw isn't my best friend.
