Good Size logs needed for Confor Show Longleat 7th/8th Sept
Rob D replied to Rob D's topic in Panther Mill UK
Thanks actually already got a PM so seems this is now sorted -
Not got any spares yet but I think the blades used are pretty standard ie used in other planer type tools... will check up on this.

We'll be doing the Confor Show at Longleat, Warminster this year on the 7th/8th September. We'll be demoing mills and so forth so need some good size logs to mill - around 30" to 36" works well or larger. Usually we make some tables on site as we demo so if you have some wood you want turned into slabs or tables then you may be interested (tend to go halves with you on these) For example you bring a 3 foot diameter log 6 foot long - we make say x4 tables and a few odd slabs - you get x2 tables and the odd slabs and we keep x2 tables. Doesn't have to work exactly as above but along those lines! Cedar and Oak works well but open to what you have. What you got?

I'm on it and don't really use it for marketing or otherwise.... But I would imagine if you were pro active you could get more business by chatting to potential advertisers etc. But with facebook, twitter, instagram, Linked In... all starts to get a bit much IMO. I suppose you have to do it these days if you want to stay ahead of the game.
-
Really? perhaps it seems larger than it is. Bear in mind you don't get the bar or chain just the attachment.
-
They would offer more protection than shorts and flip flops
-
I'd say pretty much the same as the log wizard!
-
Haha! Yep but can't face putting on me chainsaw trousers and boots in this weather! Not got much in the yard to demo on but there will be one coming...
-
We have some of these log de barker tools in stock. They fit directly to the chainsaw bar and then the chain drives the planer blades. Comes with spare rims so you can run 3/8 lo pro or .325 or 3/8 standard sizes chains. Have it here on a 14" bar - shorter bars mean less strain on the wrists (all that weight is on the end of the bar). Used it a few times and seems pretty effective.

You can buy syringes (ones for injecting) easily on the net - use these to inject into the exit holes - have done this before with good results. Can't remember what treatment I used though....
-
Cracking!
-
Ditto above
-
Just googled chaga - looks to be good stuff
-
Yep good find as that is a tasty looking piece of timber especially as if that's only the branches as well!

Morning! Welcome to the forum. It's a bit of a piece of string question really in that there is no true answer but I expect it is in the arb world if you are good at the job - and all the things around it ie. how you present yourself/marketing/people skills etc that you can make more £.
-
That attachment looks good - but I reckon the diamond stones we do are better and you get more than a few sharpens (I know you should do at that price) and they are longer - most folk with the precision grinder are now using them. You searched for diamond - Chainsawbars
-
Yep ok - let me know what you want to do to get you cutting again (PM is best as sometimes don't have time to scan through threads).
-
I reckon keep doing whatever you're doing while you're still enjoying it. There's folk out there doing all sorts of jobs until all sorts of ages because they love doing what they're doing. When you start thinking 'I'm too old for this' it's not cause you're too old it's more that you just ain't liking it no more!
-
I'm not sure on this bar as although we seem to have sold a few can't remember having any issues ref the bar heel... we've had the same type of issue on carving bars but where 1/4 chain is much smaller removing a link cures it. Actually just double check the drive link count on the chain you have to make sure it is indeed 44! We got these multi mount bars in because we have to buy bars in batches of x50 per type - so a multi mount bar saves having to buy x50 dedicated Stihl mount and x50 dedicated Husky.
-
The BN6 mount bars are the universal type to fit all small chainsaws (same as the carving bars). They should still fit the MS201T. Options are: We can send you a chain x1 drive link shorter and see if this solves it Grind out the heel of the bar so it is open like the Stihl bar - we'll cover the warranty if you feel this does not work Or we can send you out the standard 12" sugi bar that runs 3/8 lo pro .050 (as the bar you have I think is 3/8 .043). But with the narrower chain that bar you have should cut faster than the standard 3/8 .043 Let us know.

Great pics - hot dusty looking work!
-
Sharp chain and good general maintenace yes it is - but a winch makes it easier
-
Yep winch kit goes on these fine same as the genuine Alaskan
