Not sure yet Dave. I will be selling my place next year 300k and doing a self build. I have had a plot with full planning for 5 years now. All based around Tom my autistic lad really

Well good luck with it all 👍, some hefty waiting lists for kit at moment too.

Thick fog here today but I know what you mean, a nice crisp day's ideal,  I got the mini mill at the same time as my Alaskan [ when they were much cheaper ] but tbo I've not used it much as I bought a 6m straight edge and a Makita ripsnorter that does a 4" cut [emoji106]

Nice [emoji106] I would obviously much prefer a bandsaw, but a bit of practice with the edging mill isn’t too bad.

Not really done much milling but I have murdered some great wood in the past and it is a shame the amount dumped, burnt or tipped.

 

One of my mates out here had access to an oak log and another mate picked it up.  I helped out the second mate.

 

we got a couple of nice boards but hit metal on a couple.  Managed to work around it by cutting a 3 inch board to clear it.  Then it was too dark and cold so we called it a day.
