Milling tuition!

[big fell!]

Just been looking at Roberts s's milling pics and was wondering if there was anyone near Dumfries, Scotland to show me how its done when i get round to buying an Alaskan? Im competent with a saw but never done any milling before, so all the little hints/tips would be handy to know. There'd be a bottle in it for somebodys time.

 

Cheers lads

I'm in the same boat as you but I plan on buying one and just having a go trial and error hopefully without too many errors. I'm in Devon otherwise I would offer our two heads better than one but a bit far to go.

Hi Big Fell,

 

It's a little bit of a trek, but my workshop is based near Uphall (10 miles west of Edinburgh) and I have several hundred hours chainsaw milling experience should you ever want to come up for the day.

 

I've actually got quite a lot of timber kicking about at the moment, so the next few months work well for me.

Dude! That sounds spot on... Let me get my wedding and honey moon done and dusted and il head up there. I have 4 decent sized oaks on the farm coming down this summer to widen a road so il be stuck into them.

 

Top man.

Regards.
