I find most of my slab customers are prepared to do the work of smoothing them out, and it's just not financially viable for me to muck around with them.

 

Actually, I now have an arrangement with a miller to take my logs, slab them up, and we split the proceeds. I then have plenty enough to sell on weekends, and it doesn't take up my time.

 

If I wasn't working full-time on trees I might be able to afford the time to work with the wood, but I'd count it as a hobby.

Just bought a 10" sedgwick planer thicknesser. 

Does anyone have a manual for it or a copy of it that they could send me.

Does anyone know of a fence for it as it was missing.

 

Thanks

I could so with a wee 10" Planer as well. Handy for Mantles etc. 

 

I have access to a nice Wadkin 20" for bigger stuff and the local shop has a 24" wide Planer I can get time on.

Came off gumtree £450, only 40 miles away, better than the portable ones. Picked up last night, took to bits to check over (cos I'm like that), back together now planing with it
