Yep nice flooring I bet it looks stunning when done ,how long did you dry the boards for,before you machined them ,hopefully I will be posting loads of milling pics now I have my mill set up just need the band guide bearings,Nice floorboards , I could do with some,we live in what they call Social Housing and just threw the bathroom fitters out ,the flooring they did is 1mm thick ,a F###ing joke ,sorry for derailing your thread .

The boards had been air drying in a covered area for about 2 yrs and then machined to thickness before going in a warming room/kiln for 6 mths after which they were machined to width, cut to length squared off then tongue and grooved all round.

No worries about derailing.

Hi what did you use to do the tongue and groove was it a spindle moulder?

Nope, router & table.

Not a huge fan of spindle moulders, you've got a better chance of survival standing in front of a chainsaw when the chain snaps then a spindle moulder when a cutter comes out, believe me they stop at nothing not even brick walls!

Oh yeah I know all about spindle moulders I have one I have used once in 6 yrs I would like to get a 4 sided planner hopefully when we get 3 phase one might come along cheap.
