Milling 'Hall of Shame'

[Big J]

Oh bloody hell! You don't have much luck do you Will?

 

I suppose the most damaging strikes have been two embedded rocks - one about 6 inches into a yew stem that did no favours to my chainsaw chain (that was not long after I started out) and more recently a fist sized stone embedded deep in the crotch of an elm log.

Many, many years ago my dad found a large mortice chisel in a large beech he was cutting for fire wood, he is a joiner, he cleaned it up and made a handle for it its been in his tool box ever since.

I found half a flat file embedded in a sycamore that I felled from behind a farmyard. I can imagine the disgruntled farmer breaking the file and pelting it across the yard for it to land in the fork of the branches. Saw didn't like it much either!
