Sounds and looks good. I was thinking about a points system but seemed complicated to integrate - so didn't! The screenshot you've included looks good.

Just to say was nice to meet a few more arbtalkers at the show and put names to faces People all seemed to love the 'winch on the mill idea' and sold a fair few Sugihara bars. Cheers, Rob

Nice to meet you Steve - A well thought out purchase I thought.
-
Ha ha! Well I think it's hard to say what has happened with this bar just from x2 pics and so I think fair's fair and benefit of the doubt should be given. The Sugi bars are hardened as much as possible (I use a battery grinder with flap disc to dress the bar BTW) but on all the Sugi bars I have been using there has only been slight burring - i.e. no channel into the bar. But the harder the metal the more brittle - there will always be a compromise...

You'll be using the Alaskan to whip a plank or two off in between using the lucas.
-
Sorry to see that's happened.... On the whole the Sugi bars last longer and are harder to file because they are hardened as much as possible. But not a problem, send it back - and I'll send you a new bar under warranty. Robert Dyer, Always Greener Ltd, Silver Street GM Silver Street, Hordle, Hants, SO416DG

I reckon best is would be to try and quarter that as you'll get some nice stable pieces. Have you got a mini mill? Or you could break down into quarters free hand then use the alaskan that would work. You'd have to keep rolling the quarters backwards and forwards but worth in on a good size log.

It's a nicely put together vid thanks for posting. I'm working on some scissor jacks operated by a drill to raise the log at the end.... the mill often tips forwards on the last few inches... Do you have the precision grinder yet? It is a great tool for sharpening the saw on the mill. The mills will be on display at the AA show and I'll be doing a bit of demoing as well. I'm in the FR Jones tent at the shows this year.

I had some of this - value is a bit of a 'depends on if someone is after it' But it is pretty rare and looks a lot like labernum, I would pay £50-00 for each butt as long as there is no decay.

Have done this William - but you have no house number on your account at the moment - can you log in and edit this.

Yep if you sign up to my website Chainsawbars ? chainsaw chains, chainsaw bars and chainsaw accessories and then tell me when you have done so - Rob

Small log mill is the one you want there - will give you max cut with your saw

3ft diameter ring needed for Cirencester Arb Show, can anyone help??
Rob D replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
I could prob get you a ring of pine (from John Shutlers pine) up to you on Thurs... in fact I will be dropping my trailer off at showground late Weds so could leave it on that... give me a PM if you any use and I will do tom. -
Thanks for posting - the smaller one is firewood - but the bigger one - looks soft at the base but sometimes that softness does not go far and leads onto brown oak... You need to take a few rings off that and see how far it goes up and into tree - could well then be worth milling.
-
Thanks Tony they sound like they may be a bit too big - but cheers
-
They sound ideal trevor - I'll give you a call later tom
-
Ok I think I've got it right so now the 10" bar for the MS150T is listed as is the chain. And I have plenty of bars in chain in stock.
-
I've got my older one the head came off the other day - it works fine and I still use it for milling - but you could have that for £70-00+vat if you wanted. PM me if you are.

I need a decent size log for chainsaw milling demo at the arbfair. Anything around 2'6" diameter 6 foot to 10 foot long. Preferably somewhere close to the showground but can travel. Oak or cedar ideal or what have you got? Will need something to load it if possible as well. Anyone taking anything down on the Thursday? Even if just pine (although hardwood better as people think you are milling pine because softer and so makes the mills look quicker ) I can pay cash, mill some planks for you or make a rustic picnic bench in return. PM me, text me or reply on this thread. Ta, Rob 07811611457

Oh yes I will! My supplier has categorically told me I can no longer sell online or it will come back to them (they have been very understanding about it I have to say)- yet all my sales are online! So I have had to tell them politely that I will continue selling online until all my stock has been sold.
-
Sorry I have been flat out milling that mighty cedar - but I will get up tonight and PM you when I have done.

I sell a good range of bars here Carving bars including some cheap and cheerful zebra bars (they're not that bad but they came to me without oiler holes hence selling at cost). Also sell 1/4" drive sprockets Carving sprockets and chain Carving chains AND you get 10% off these prices (sign up on the site then tell me and I can set discount). The better carving bars cost a lot as the tips have to be well made to stand up to the abuse they get!

A metal detector going down for 15" will cost an awful lot of cash - or if you find one that doesn't cost too much let me know! Most metal I've found is always in the outside of a tree - the ones I sell will sniff a lot of metal out but they are not perfect.... Look at this way - if you miss 80% of metal that's 80% less metal you've hit - rather than aiming never hit metal again.

Yeh yeh! that's not what they said!
