Yep. Coastal Redwood. Stuff grows on trees around here!

 

A large % of my jobs are redwood removals and I always try and keep the good stuff for my personal stash.

I'm gonna start building my lovely wife a new home soon and it will be completely made out of the good old stuff.

The "like" button doesn't suffice.

 

Looking forward to the "Erik's selfbuild" thread!

Borrowed an old granberg mill from a mate.
Bent top bar and one upright bent.
Replaced with chillaskan parts.
Got these small coffee table pieces planked before the upright holder broke.

Had help today from a local groundie,
He's a bit of a natural.
Nice one Charlie [emoji3]

Customer today mentioned he had a couple of old saws if we were interested. I was cynical as usual and then he walked out with a pos homelite and an 075av! Got the pair for £20, gonna chuck the homelite and switch the 075 to chipped ignition.

 

Got me a new milling saw!
