Is that the one where the old man made the boat then had to use the boat to get rock for the foundation of the cabin he makes all by hand? If it is, I caught the end of it and wanted to see it all the way through ever since. Truley amazing and kinda my dream ever since watching Grizzly Addams as a kid

Very nice.
Not familiar with mesquite. Is it hard to work with?

Looks nice! I'm in the mood for barbecue! And I don't even eat meat.

Its a super dense hard wood but I didnt have and problems. I used a chainsaw ,handsaw , jigsaw ,and a bench grinder wheel that is for metal

I hope I didnt ruin it for doin my stump grinder teeth....oh ya and a drill and 2 bits

I also made my own saw handles. The first one I made was from some local big leaf maple and the second one was from ash. I used the replacement blades sold at the local saw shop. They have the Stihl name brand on them but I don't know who makes the blade.
