john came today with his lucas as i wanted a load of 6x2`s for frames for benchs,,,,it rained and rained then some more,,but we got through it,,,hit some nails in the start but metal detector found the rest,,,a great guy, and a rewarding day,,,(more pics to follow)p.s could have used the woodmizer or alaskan, but the lucas churns out these sizes fast,,,,:thumbup:

Have you thought about Alaskan milling 6 inch slabs for resawing on the woodmizer? I'm a great fan of the narrow cut resawing on the band mill as you can cut at a hell of a rate. Also, very limited wastage cutting it this way.

yes john, but have no way of moving them afterwards,as dont have a telehandler or forklift,,,when i do i will!!in the mean time,,,its the sensible option,ie tax bill first,,lol,,then maybe in the new yr i`ll have that option,,,,

 

Very good point! Sorry - I hadn't realised that you didn't have a forklift. Best thing you can have in a yard though - got mine prior to getting the Woodmizer. Not that it's any use with a tax bill to pay, but you could get something like this:

 

Climax DAQ 3 t Diesel forklift | eBay

 

For about £2k delivered plus VAT. There are some days where I spend hours on my forklift moving stuff round (not just for fun, I should stress!).

happy new yr johnathan, had a look at that cheers,,I currently have a few mates close by that lend me there manitou now and again, or I hire one in,,,its a pain, as there so handy,,,its definetly on my wish list for new yr,,,:001_smile:

 

And to you too Clive.

 

I have an old 2.5 tonne (but really closer to three) lifting Nissan that is quite remarkably nimble and small for stacking timber and operating in my barns. Whilst I would sometimes like the reach and traction of a telehandler, it could only ever be my second forklift.

 

Make sure to post some photos when you get one! :thumbup1:
