Don't worry - it's not age, it's something all of us do at least once when milling.

 

You're getting old if you keep doing it...

Looks like the sun brought out the milling for a few of us.

Did a quick number on some small yew as a trial.

Without being cheeky @AJStrees is that one of the Forest Master sawmill thingys to the left?

I was looing at one for smaller length  stuff but it seemed quite pricey.

... Used to chop the fingers off english archers, they were so feared by the French - hence Churchills salute. K

Yes that's right. The bars it comes with are 1.5 metres long, I got some steel 3 metres long to do longer but not so heavy logs. Its okay. But I would much prefer a logosol F2. If you have time and a good spot to sit it, then it works alright. It is a little bit toy really, I have tried to get to like it, but for heavy timber its really not what you need.
