Anyone in cornwall know of a shingle making attachment for a bandsaw, or anyone able to mill shingles in cornwall?

 

Don't they split them with a froe ? [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Peavey-Shingle-Froe/dp/B0037M8QSQ]Shingle Froe: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/412qs2feupL.@@AMEPARAM@@412qs2feupL[/ame]

That pic was while we were doing 4500 shingles for my roof. I think we would still be at it if doing them as shakes (I think I am right that shingles are cut & shakes are split). The blocks are cut in various widths to give a random look to the roof.

 

Hand split also takes more wood & is harder to fit as they are not an even thickness.
