Spalted Beech

[bella wood]

I started a shop on ebay about 7 years ago when there was money to be made on there, there was probs about six people on there then selling wood full time ,, looking on there now theres about 15 or 20 ,,

 

I miss it as used to get rid of lots of small bits which i now BURN ,, But alot of hassle and when i finnished my shop a ouple of years ago my accountant said my costs worked out approx 24%,,

 

i think Rob d has the best idea gettin someone else t list as it takes ages with my crap internet conection

Blaisey, I see your using the alaskan mill, what is the pulley system you have attatched to it buddy?

[Blaisey]

I was ordering some longer rails for the mill from Rob (Rob D on here) and asked whether I should have anything else? He recommended a winch, which I had seen pics of on other threads. Rob sells a complete kit it all comes in a box and works straight out the box. After you mill with it you will never mill without it again! It is Magic I will get a video up later.

is that the bit of beech you showed?

 

it almost looks like a liquidambar with the contrast between heart and sap.

[Blaisey]

No thats a Monkey Puzzle in the video. cheers.

that's a biggie for MP, can you show the result to stihlben, he had a thread for a puzzle that was near 3' wide but didn't have the time to slab it or something. show him some pics of this a say its worth it.

Winch milling as promised.

excelent use of a winch there

After watching that it really makes you wonder why anyone mills without a winch, its just so much easier.
