Today's milling

[gonger]

Milled up some maple for the first time. The 3120 went trough like butter.

 

 

 

Since i have the deal to get the logs for free, i have to share 50% of the slabs. So i got 6 stored up outside my workshop.

First half of an order for 36 Larch sleepers loaded and ready for delivery.

They're to be used to make raised veg beds for a wheelchair user.

You're not getting a good deal mate.
I give one slab away for a log.
Don't underestimate the value of what you can do.
And don't overestimate the price of logs!!!
Where are you based?
Might know someone near you to get logs from.

I do big Oak stems for 50% of the Slabs. But then Im getting the use of the Teli-Handler to move everything around. He also provides the Fuel and Oil.

Yeh he is. But also worth keeping sweet. He'll deliver me his Teli-Handler for the Weekend, Friday night till Monday morning for £60. I pay £60 a month to rent for the workshop space that I've just put a Ramp in and hopefully will be buying some land off of him in the future.

 

But regardless of that I think 3 x 1000mm wide Slabs 50mm thick and 3-4m long for a days work is ok. Considering what they can sell for when dried. I cherry pick to, so make sure I get the 1/4 sawn middle boards too. Or at least half of them.
