Sounds a pretty straight forward job for someone.... hopefully you'll get a response.

Looks great Mick but where do you get the energy from to climb on that after work!
-
Peterson mill would be your best bet for doing this... can do up to 5ft log, 6m long and is super fast and accurate. If no one takes you up let me know. I'd bring my mill up but it would cost a fair old bit.... i.e. £400-00 a day + vat and then mileage on top of that.
-
Put up as many details and pics as possible.... How long is the log? Access? Rough address etc etc

If your kids are like me when I was younger I'd do as Dave suggested and see if they can look after a simpler pet for a month or two first!

I've done a fair bit of research on chopping boards recently. Searched many forums on treatments of chopping boards. One thing is do not use vegetable oils i.e. olive, sunflower etc. They look great but over the course of months the oil can go rancid in the wood... The best oils seem to be walnut and coconut. For technical reasons they don't go rancid as easily. Have also made up a mix of walnut oil and beeswax Finishing wood with walnut oil and beeswax » The Canary Report And this works well although you need to be careful how much beeswax. Nut allergys - from what I can gather someone with a peanut allergy can have refined peanut oil and it is unlikely to cause a reaction. So even if there are traces of peanut oil in the walnut oil this should not be an issue. Also when the board is polished up well it causes the oil/wax to form a polymer something or other that then stops rancidity.....

Well done Liam - didn't realise you had the other grab stolen.... gutted
-
That is almost beyond human skill!

Ho ho! I get by! Legs are just bolted into the seat.

Tree bench made out of sweet chestnut. Just needs a sand off now.

All looking good Dean. I'm getting my yard together slowly..... very slowly!
-
Excellent!

I do a few of the Granberg 12 volt grinders and find them excellent. Still handfile on occasions though.... Personally I find every third or so sharpen you need some form of guide to get all the teeth the same length. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG-tdr3X2s0]Precision Grinder.wmv - YouTube[/ame]

Superb - I bow my head!

Does the chain rotate when you pull it over to start it? If so is most likely the needle bearing the sprocket sits on. An easy fix.
-
Looks good Mike what sort of engraver are you using?
-
Reading this thread I've thought about seeing about carrying one. The posts against it seem to say its medics territory but don't give any reasons. Are they dangerous? What are the side effects? What happens if you have not had a bad reaction but in error use it? Let's have some facts please!! I appreciate severe reactions are rare but getting stung by something nasty could happen to anyone at anytime (even if you of course try to avoid it). And in this job you have a much greater chance than most.

It seems strange to me how many of the older saws i.e. 066, 08 etc still seem to be around yet the newer 660 and 880s just don't seem to last. I know people may say 'but my 660 has been fine for 8 years' but then it may have been rarely used in that 8 years. I always sell my MS880s after a year/18 months or so as I can't handle the hassal... Problems idling etc.
-
The reason you don't see much of vat in firewood sales is that it is 5% to the domestic user and most vat reg people will just pay that themselves without too much fuss.... it's not as harsh as 20%!
-
You should be fine swapping and changing bars between these saws as they both have the Oregon K095 mount.
-
Nice James and thanks for taking the time to put some pics up... hmmm may even pinch a couple as it illustrates very well how a longer Alaskan will fit on a smaller saw. You should be pretty fast through timber that wide even with a smaller saw like the MS361. Can you time a cut next time to get a ft/min figure?
-
Lovely Tom - good load of saw dust to boot! Ho ho! Yes beech is an excellent indoor timber yet as Big J said people are on the whole obsessed by oak.
-
Stihl do have an angled head (you have to buy this 'in between' bit that then gives the angle!). Worked well when I had one.
-
Can't beat the above posts! I've found a very easy way of doing legs that look good. Will put up some pics tom.

"Jog on mate just jog on" Why don't you try some jogging love and save the NHS a small fortune in a couple of years! Sorry you'd have to have seen the clip to see the relevance but again just a terrible thing to watch......
