    @nolaegghead - just don't get one of those aluminum foil wrapped, oil filled capacitors! Had a run/start cap blow up on a windy day and had foil bits all over the back yard while replacing on a nasty, hot humid summer day.
    Pretty much all my options are electrolytic can style  capacitors. They are relatively safe.

    Got back from dropping cherry logs off at a sawmill. Can not wait for them to come back. 
    What are you going to use them for? Looking forward to seeing the output. If you said elsewhere...sorry for the question.
    @northGAcock I have no idea.
    Not true.
    Hoping for a coffee table for me and a table for my buddy.
    But I/we have no idea how to get there from here. I am curious to see what output comes of this adventure as well.

    We really do not know what we are doing. The miller (is that what they are called?) asked how thick I wanted them cut. I held up my thumb and forefinger, and said "about this' thick?" He said 2.5-3 inches? I said "sure, and if you want to throw some 2" and 1.5" thick boards in there, that is fine too... whatever you can get using your expertise."
    He was Amish and standing barefoot in the dirt by the mill after unloading the wood with a forklift. Would have got a picture, but they do not allow that and will not do business with you if they catch you trying to take one. Interesting chap he was. Said he has been sawing lumber for 30 years. He looked like he has been doing it for 80. They had old double pull saws for cutting the logs to length. Then put them on a modified $50K sawmill. Amish kids playing on piles of logs all over. They were barefoot too.
    I digress...
    Yea, I/we am clueless, but giving it the old college try!
    The wood was free, except for my labor, and the milling cost is not bad.
    Worst case is I end up with a lot of cutting boards. A whole lot of friggen cutting boards.

    As much as I think the Amish are a cult, they are good people. There is no way they will rip (pun intended) you off, and the quality will be second to none.

    Sawyers usually use a system describing widths by quarters of an inch; I've reworded the above as an example:
     
    The sawyer asked how thick I wanted them cut. I held up my thumb and forefinger, and said "about this' thick?" He said "ten to twelve-quarter?"  I said "sure, and if you want to throw some eight-quarter and six-quarter thick boards in there, that is fine too...  
    Sure wish I lived closer to you, would love to be involved in this project.  I've never worked with such large lumber but have read a lot of articles about the techniques.  
    Good luck, have fun, and post pics!

    Cult or not, the absolute best chewing tobacco that I ever had came from some Amish farmers in Pennsylvania. It was called “twist” tobacco. It was in twisted up sticks like licorice. Never seen it anywhere else.

    Brother, I have never chewed, but I'll keep my eyes open for it. Now about scrapple, I may know a thing or two about that. I could ship it, but why don't you just come on up for a bit? We could also head over to Philly for some real cheesesteaks and some roast pork.

    @Sea2Ski I love rough cut lumber.   post some pics.  Keep all the live edges.  All the trimmings are smoke wood.

    @DuckDogDr that’s magnificent. That’s the last duck I want to get mounted. I’ve got to take a 410 with me down in the swamp. Every time I’ve taken one it’s been -10 yards with heavy steel 12 gauge and...they don’t look like that.

    @nolaegghead I have so much of this cherry, I do not need the trimmings. I also instructed him to keep  the live edge as well - you can always cut it off but putting it back is not an option. I was lucky enough to remember to say that!

    I will keep an eye out as well. I do not chew either @SGH but at least 2 times a week I drive by farms where they are growing tobacco the leaves are just barely starting to wilt down, which means in a few weeks they will cut/hang/dry them in their open air barns. I will say I like the smell of it when there is a barn loaded with it.

    Cult or not, the absolute best chewing tobacco that I ever had came from some Amish farmers in Pennsylvania. It was called “twist” tobacco. It was in twisted up sticks like licorice. Never seen it anywhere else. 
    Born and raised in Kentucky, and being from historically one of the largest producers of tobacco and tobacco products during the zenith of tobacco industry in the USA, I was familiar with chewing tobacco.
    I never tried it, in fact, except for a couple cigars, I never tried any tobacco products.
    I recently discovered a small county in Kentucky, for whatever reason, had been the preferred area for "rope style" chewing tobacco, "winning medals and awards internationally."
    I had no idea. I had no idea there were even contests where such things competed.
    As a kid, I had worked in the tobacco fields, cutting, sticking, planting seed beds, transplanting, hoeing, hanging it in barns, baling, and unloading it at warehouses. It was hard, demanding work that you spent Memorial day weekend planting, and Labor Day weekend harvesting. Seeing it processed, and sprayed, made me not want to ever use tobacco.
    It was lucrative if you were a farmer back then. About 3 months of field work could easily net some big bucks.
    I had not heard of the tobacco mentioned here, by Scottie, but would be curious to learn more. Obscure stuff is interesting to me.
