Spent most of the day lopping trees and although a bit pooped out found the energy after dinner to head out to the workshop about seven-o-clock for another session.
The blade holder with threaded rod, wing nuts and washers did not work out so I did another version.
Simply using two 6mm grub screws.
I drilled and tapped the holes, the grub screws now hold the blade securely – time will tell.
Looking good and yes we are cutting wood
