milling experience wanted

[steve gibson]

Is there anyone in the Berkshire or South Oxfordshire who could
give me some experience/teach me about milling (portable or chainsaw) and drying?
Maybe in exchange for some labouring?

 

I would like to start producing dried timber (mainly hardwood) on a small scale
both for myself and other makers/craftspeople. I will be doing cs30 training in a couple of weeks but am
coming at this from a user of timber and have very little experience at present.

 

Part of my plan is also to build a solar powered kiln.

 

Unfortunately I'm the wrong side of 50 but still fit and strong and keen to learn.

 

Any offer of help would be appreciated no matter how small.

Thanks

Steve

Never to old to learn!  I think the more you keep learning and keep active the younger you stay.
