No end to your talents trigger 😄

 

We all know yours though Leslie. That ended when you started ripping stock photos of joinery off of Google and claimed it was your own.

I’ve only been milling for about 4-5 years and only hit metal for the first time this year.

Was milling a bit today myself. Or should I say re-sawing?

Customer wanted some 20mm slabs. So a quick pass through the saw. £6 a board foot plus £75 to re-saw.

 

 

They were double unlucky with metal in that log. After the mill found the big bit they tried cutting the end off and hit metal again with a 500i.

Milled some Larch for a guy today courtesy of recommendation from Andy 👍👍 cheers bud., What a cracking location, wasn’t even taking much notice of the milling in reality with surroundings like that. Had the chance to try out the little dewalt blower, absolutely cracking bit of kit for keeping things tidy and cleaning up at end of shift.

Now that’s a handy wee toy! How much did that set you back?

About £70 for the bare unit. I didn’t expect much Andy but it’s seriously effective at cleaning up all the crap off the mill at end of day.
