Mantles.

[trigger_andy]

Mantles seem to be doing rather well just now.

 

Just got another order for a 6”x4”x1200mm plus two uprights in 100mmx100mmx850mm. Planed, sanded and oiled for £400. Will take me 3-4 hours max. Will obviously need to pop out and re-oil a further couple of times.

 

For mantles and beams you simply can’t beat the Makita Beam Saw.

And leaves a rather clean finish.

This one had a tickle with the 80 grit, 10mm bull nose and a rub down with white spirit to clean and reveal the grain.



Feel a little hard done by just getting £200 for it.

Long story. The short version is I already had the log paid for and on the mill and then they started messing me around. Was easier to just take a bit of a hit and get it knocked out.

 

Made up for it on the next one. [emoji6]

Yet here you are regardless. I always knew you where a lurker. Typical bitter old bugger you can only chip in with a dig.

I’d have thought you’d be keeping a low profile after Dave handed you your arse yesterday.

That’s the paid version. [emoji16]

In 2nd pic it looks twisted, had to remove son-in-laws mantle as it warped too far and looked hellish. Maybe an optical illusion in pic!

I assume the one I removed (bought online I think) wasn’t dried properly before being milled and sold.🤷‍♂️

 

** Not sure why it quoted big beeches post, it was triggers post with three pics I quoted🤷‍♂️

Must be an optical illusion, or you’re drinking early this week. ;).
