It's exactly the same as the LX50 I think - still made in the same factory, and Womanizer just dropped the branding for Europe, while keeping it on for the US market. It certainly looks the same in all details as the WM. Not only did Stephen give a good wack off as a discontinued/demo item, but the sawhead had already been built and adjusted by him, which saved a good day or two of work (at my speed that is), and meant it works well right out of the box.

I cut up a really revolting looking bit of long dead ash today looking for something for the missus to turn (is she the only lady wood-turner?) and found this lovely thing. I had thought about how much I could lie to you as to its size, but it's defnitely more cheese-board than dining table . . . Still pretty wild.

Not sure the savings were quite that much but I’m very happy with it. We’re hoping to redo the house here and rebuild its extension and I hope (hope upon hope!) to do it with our own timber - Douglas, oak & spruce structural timber, larch and cypress cladding. Sycamore and ash joinery and floorboards. Let’s see. Sounds ambitious to me, but if you don’t have a dream, then how you gonna make a dream come true. 
 

Chicken shed into kiln next!

Just a matter of felling licence, planning permission, building control, architects (fortunately I have a very good friend who’s doing this) surveyors, grading the timber (it seems I have to get someone to certify that my trees are as strong as anyone else’s trees) and all that other stuff. Oh, and finding the money to do it!

All quite achievable until the last bit.
