Excellent job mate!

Nice benches, I will be wanting to buy a mill in a few months time Rob, any info appreciated.

 

You'll not regret it Tom!

 

I'm not allowed to publicise my mills in the general forum area but if you hit the 'forums' button at the top of this page, scroll all the way down, keep going.... and you'll come across my very own sponsered Alaskan mill forum! On this I'll be posting videos and other general info. Also have a look at my website as listed below.

Looking great plippy, Really nice finish.

what oil are you using?

[plippy]

thanks bart, im using danish oil,it brings out all the lines really well, i have a floating beam i hung in my front room, i took it down, bevalled the edges with saw and put the belt sander to it and then used the oil, it came up a rite treat.

i used my small alaskan mill that i bort from rob d at alaskan mill, fantastic tool for planking and making beams and benchs

 

i cant show pics cos the site wot let me show more than five pics for some reason!!!! so wil put the pics on another thread called PICS OF YA MILLED PRODUCTS

I got the 4 foot alaskan, great bit of kit, definitly worth it!

Cheers for that Rob and I will be in touch when I can buy.

 

I make similar benches where the top just sits on top of the bases, and all I do is drill a hole in the top and base and place a dowell to stop the top sliding, simple!
