Yep mulberry wood is good for turning.

So todays word boys and girls is DANGEROUS

Widdowmaker Definition: Any loose overhead debris such as limbs or tree tops that may fall at any time. Widow makers are extremely dangerous and present the faller with a continual source of danger. Limb or other loose material dropped or thrown from a tree toward the faller as the tree is felled.

Does this count

Don't worry mate your best off on your own then no one can hurt you then :thumbdown:

A washing machine usually works to get things clean.

There is nothing wrong with abit of constructive criticism and if people don't like criticism then their heads to far up their own arse IMO. I have watched some of your video clips and to me alot of it looked dangerous and to be honest there are much safer technics out there. Again only my opinion.

Splitter you'll save your back in the long run

Congrats to both of you all the best

I thought it was the rootball for the gun stock ?? Maybe im wrong

Wicked :lol:

I would of felled it personaly bish bash bosh, then put a price in to re-turf the grass as it looked naff anyway. Speachless no just not as impressive as made out to be, but got the job done.

A lathe and a drawknife works to, turn lathe on slow and pull knife at angle towards you of comes shavings.

Drier wood will be harder to be honest but if you bansaw it say 5mm thick then soak it overnight that might work then peel it down thinner, plus i find it doesn't curl when wet. What timber r you doing it in

to get thin pieces of wood on small bits of work i find that using a potato peeler on green wood works for me and then wash under cold water to get the sappy crap off. You will have a bit of playing time with the wood as its flexi because green, sometimes you can resoke it a few times if dries out too Depending on type of wood.

Fair play to your mum for helping her i just hope it doesn't back fire and she genuiney wants help. This hits a raw nerve with me as people say there r places out there to help people in situations like this but it needs nice people like your mum to point them in the right direction. Yes there r shelters you can go to but they r very daunting for young people and you can easily get in with the drugs and the drink. I was homeless for about 2mths sleeping rough, now and again would manage to get showers and stuff from various places. In the end managed to get a room with shared kitchen and bathroom that was through a place called glowfish, first week went well but in that place i saw things that most people wouldn't see in a life time and wouldn't wish on people to see (Put it this way my bedroom door was a solid fire door with 5mm thick metal sheeting on both sides). So off i went back on the streets for a few weeks i felt safer there TBH, me ended up plucking up the courage to get in contact with me dad and with his help im here today. What im trying to say is this world needs more people like your mum as the System doesn't always work, it needs people to steer them in the right direction and not get passed from pillar to post. It always the genuine people who slip through because there to busy concertrating on the arse holes of this world its the same for homeless, benifits etc etc .
