can anyone help with an ebay purchase?

[TurtleWoods72]

Nice work when you can get it!

 

If it's a weekend when you'd otherwise be mooching about the house, why not.

I think whichever way you cut the cake, it's gonna be cheaper and easier just to go and get the thing.

 

Yes it's a day of travel, but take the wife/girlfriend/boyfriend with you and make a day of it.

 

Set off early, stop for lunch in Warwick, visit the castle. Collect the log and have a look around Bewdley (very beautiful town).

 

Then trog back via Stratford Upon Avon and have some tucker at The Stag at Redhill.

 

Nice day out, log got, everyone's a winner.

 

That seems like a really well thought out, fun plan. If you can afford it, it's a great opportunity to live life to the fullest. A chance to "stop and smell the roses", so to speak.

its supposed to be 2m long by 1' diameter.

if anyone can help then please get in touch as i'd really like to buy it.

 

thanks in advance.

 

That's a pity, I have 2 or 3 that size up in Glasgow that are heading for my firewood pile, for want of someone to take them (free) for turning or carving. Would give the courier a hernia, I reckon.

but not if you don't have a car!!

 

or a license, i am epileptic and can not drive...

 

hence my frequent requests for help.

i think it was the weight on top of the length that was the problem. i too have had couriers bring me 8' planks but only up to 30kg.

 

 

 

i reckon this would be about 100-120kg.

 

 

Parcel monkey via DX have just sent me the nova dvr-xp lathe, weighed 100kg+ at 60 odd £ bud.

 

But i wouldnt recommend them. Nothing but trouble

[se7enthdevil]

thats £130 for a package 2mx30cmx30cm at about 120kg

 

 

i'm not spending that sort of dosh. if i can't get it in one piece i'll try to get it cut in half but i thought such a straight bit would be great for milling.

[Dan Earp]

Aye worth a try

I'd give you beer at least for some/all of those on Sat Apr 4th as I head from Wick to Newcastle - seriously.

 

Steve 7th; I'm not leaving you out!
