Must be hard work with those dumpy bags on your back.

Very good - impressive finish off the slabbing attachment.

 

Got the slabber working great now. 4.8m x 1.1m ish taking 5 or 6 min per cut and leaving great finish.

I had to shim out the bar one side with some pieces of bean can lid as it was ever so slightly pitched down which was causing a washboard effect and the end of the cut pulling down 5mm deeper than the start.

I think I am going to make a second oiler though for the other end of the bar as think it is slightly under oiled on the big cuts.

I have a a double ended alaskan running on two 051 power heads.

I'd take the lucas slabber any day of the week. Just a gentle push is all it needs.

Thought I'd update this thread with some of the first parts finished from this tree. Here's some pics of the oak trusses and purlins in. Still to come one more fake oak truss and an oak porch.

Pictures not great but will update when scaffold etc is out of the way.

Hopefully it's nice for people to see what these trees can be turned into and why we shouldn't rush to firewood them.

More oak always required.

It should have a glass roof on that so it's not hidden from outside, it's like art.
