decided to get the mill out

[dylan]

got my mill out today as a log customer wanted a simple bench (just a log with a slab of the top)had a lump of elm which will take a couple of years to season if i log it and a piece of ash that showed good colour

this is what i found

the finish isn't as good as i would have liked on the ash as the logs were too close to each other and the saw got stopped by the other log(must get some ripping chain as well)

Nice home made slides in pic 4, where did you get it and how much?

wheres the throttle handle on the saw from? or did you make it? never seen one of them before

I would like to know too?!

It's got to be off a strimmer surely? But it does not seem to be connected?

[dylan]

the slides are made from unitrack sourced from city electrical with adjustable brackets made out of alloy angle which screw into the end of the log and threaded bar in between the rails i think they were about a tenner for them

the remote throttle is not connected as i need a longer cable and an old air filter cover as the part that goes over the trigger fouls on the cover and i don't want to cut up the one thats on the saw (if anybodies got an old ms880 air filter cover spare i'd be intrested)

the part that goes over the trigger is off a floor saw attachment for a stihl saw and the handles are from a bike shops scrap bin
