I'm impressed by the improvements made to the solar powered sawmill at the labs.  Paul posted an update to the video showing the addition of holes to ease the saw adjustment between cuts.  Creating the boards is much more smooth and rapid without having to stop, remove a piece to make an adjustment, replace the piece, etc.





It's encouraging to see everyday folks making updates to equipment.  People are so creative and ingenious!

Another video about the Solar Sawmill, with Mike Haasl going through adjusting the rig and processing a log into boards!


 
It's a pleasure to see superheros taking such an interest in science. And this tiny ad:
