Did you play with any hotdogs to make sure it would work?
What did you do in your shop today?

I really wanted to!! But that thing has to be replaced if it triggers and it's expensive. So no hot dogs were injured during our inspection.Did you play with any hotdogs to make sure it would work?
That would be about a $200 test, cartridge @ $90 and blade @ about $100 (not including the hotdog).
At Bud’s today to check out his latest work in progress and the wood stored in his barn. Carved from a large, straight, clean white basswood log. Began with a chainsaw, now working with a dremel, knives and stains to detail, age and bring it to life. The neck and legs are so delicate... Will turn eggs for him to put in the nest.

Knew it was costly, but didn't know cartridges were that much!
John,
That is simply awesome....however...you said from a White Basswood log. This does not match, being basswoods are diffuse porous and your wood shown looks to present clear growth rings. Wondered if you meant Catalpa or some other wood?
He’s been cutting trees more than 30 yrs and called it basswood. White basswood (my terminology) meaning the color of the log was white ish wood. Stains, dyes, flame are being applied to make it look aged. Look under the base and the wood isn’t browns and grays, it’s whiteish as evidenced here.
Simply beautiful!!!

Awesome carvings and exhibits!!! I think the rule is they must be made of natural materials.....everything!!!
Worth an afternoon visit!
John, well aware of the artistry that some put into the craft and the color layering and texture manipulation. I was asking because most would not go through the many hundreds of hours to make a non-ringporous wood look ringporous. The nest on top clearly shows distinct growth rings. Most artists would try to mask the rings to limit target focus. So I was thinking maybe it was something that has stronger growth ring delineation.
Marks question, and now mine, was what wood IS it, since it does not appear to be basswood.
Finished up a batch of cutting boards. Had a local Butcher shop ask for some. Not much imagination in thier request. But here they are, walnut, maple, and Cherry. Long grain and end grain. All are 1 1/2" thick
Are the logos silk screened on?
Laser engraved
The stator burnt up on my sled,what a pain. Had to modify the chassis so I didn’t have to take half the machine apart.
Ouch

Yeah I'd say that's toast.
Stators on my Goldwings are just as bad. Either take the engine out, or disassemble the entire frame
Funny thing, the 84 Wing was notorious for burning up stators. The fix was to cut the connector out and hardwire it to the harness. They would corrode just enough to cause troubles.
Not sure if that might help you or not with the replacement
This year Yamaha was also notorious for burning up stators,the stories I’ve heard are guys only getting 3000-5000 miles and they are burning up,I consider myself pretty lucky,I’ve got 12,000 on mine.
