Modest floorboards for a modest house

[Mr. Ed]

This is nothing to boast about I know, certainly in the present company, but as a complete outsider I can’t tell you how pleased I am at actually being able to cut roughly flat, roughly square boards. This is from our rubbish alder - I need to make about 60 sq metres. We’re going to do variable widths and I’m expecting (once I get the hang of how much wastage I’m getting) to standardise to three or maybe four different widths. The boards themselves are a range of calm cream coloured ones and quite funky spalty ones like this. 
Then lots of cladding to be milled in Leylandii and Douglas.

Nothing rubbish about Alder - great for floorboards as long as it is not a cricket pavilion or dance floor.

Is that a wooden boat I spy in the background ?

Looks very good. What saw are you using?

Yup. A 15 foot Daisy built by Harry Bryan of New Brunswick! She’s a sweetie - a dory skiff sort of thing with a lug rig.

It’s the Polish Timbery - bought cheap when they were changing identity - they’re owned by one of the American companies and it’s basically a European made version of the entry level Normiser or something like that. It’s fine for a hobbyist. A weedy 9.5 HP engine but, you know, it’s grand …
