    Hey Steve G. I added the lights, got them at napa. And the engine is a 23hp Briggs. If you do buy one of the Norwoods, just take your time putting it together and all will go real well. I put mine together in about 18 hours. If you get in a rush you WILL be doing it again.

Thanks!

Lights?  You got lights? 

That means you could saw all night long!  My wife would shoot me!

My first MD mill, I set up in a building with lights and often spent late nights hours sawing.  I often had to duck a few pieces of lead.   The idea of lights right on the carrage really get my interest up.   That might well be something I will have to seriously investigate.

Dont let my wife read this lighted sawmill stuff   Its bad enough as it is

She cracks the whip on you?? About milling or not milling enough??  

[Kirk Allen]

So there is no confusion, my wife is the love of my life and my best friend.  No whip cracking from either of us.  The challenge is, she "knows" me to well and one thing she is constantly telling me is I need to learn to slow down and relax. 

If I put lights on my mill, which I think I am going to do since its so much cooler to work in the evening, the challenge will be to not mill during the day   As soon as I start milling both day and night she might put her foot down and "encourage" me to not mill during the day

That's funny.  I get the same from my wife.  I'm still in law enforcement, used to be a logger too.  She tells me that since I have two of the most dangerous jobs, I should take up Alaskan crab fishing too and round out the top 3.  I pretended to think about it seriously and got "the look".  I love it when I can get that out of her.....

JP, I have seen those same looks and they can become expensive, for sure.
