Great bench designs

Would the people after posts buy from you? Do you have a market for them? Selling things in bulk (I have found) to be the hardest bit!

Got one - but will have to re wire it - it's wireless and the picture keeps breaking up.....

All the prices are here Jon. Products for the category: Round files I still have a few (and only a few packs) of 3/16" and 7/32" - but should have more in 10 days in all sizes.

That would run it! Am getting some more save edge files in with next Granberg order...

As said before - keep the 30" on the 600 and put a longer bar on the 3120 - no ifs buts or maybes about it! I have 40" bar at £145-00+vat or 46" at £185-00+vat for 3120 - Sugihara and they don't flop about like other long bars can do... Guide bars I have sold a few 42" bars to go on 660s - but only where it is that persons only chainsaw.... get a long bar for the 3120... :biggrin:

Cracking looking tree!

Nice work and nice thought on your part Dan

It's a tricky market selling wood... you need to give plenty of pics (with some of the wood planed if poss) and also what you want for them...

I think the grinder works well if you're a take the chain off the saw to sharpen it and replace with a sharp chain... but that is something that would never work for me and most people I know sharpen the chain while it is still on the bar... ... horses for courses really!

Great vid

Have the range of mills here Chainsaw mills As for saws - what is your budget?

Ebay are not perfect - but is there ever going to be a perfect solution when it comes to someone selling something and someone buying it? Expensive? - yes it is - but then so is having an online shop. I would say their fees are equal to the overheads/costs with your own online shop. 60% of customers using my online shop use paypal now. Dishonest people? - yep - but again you get dishonest people where ever you sell. If you don't have the option of face to face contact then ebay is the best option. Worst I have had - someone buys a mill and then 10 hours before a full year goes buy does a 'chargeback' on their credit card. Ebay automatically take the money back. Courier does not keep proof of postage after a year hence no proof of delivery. That stopped me using ebay for a while - but then I realised this could happen outside of ebay as well.... Protecting the buyer and not the seller? - same as for every other shop the buyer has the power and not the seller. They have a dispute process which can have the seller tearing their hair out.... but all things aside it is still the best online accessible selling platform there is IMO.... ... and yes part of me hates myself saying that...

Is that so? - I use a guide all the time - still hand sharpen from time to time... using a guide actually gives you something to aim for when it comes to hand sharpening. Using a guide has been the main way I've improved my sharpening over the last 3 years - hand sharpening is better than it's ever been....

Lots of bandsaw mill owners slag off chainsaw mills! Not all I might add - but a fair few.... I have a bandsaw now and they are excellent.... but if you can't load it and you can't get the mill to the wood - how much use is it then? If you have something to load timber onto a bandsaw then hands down they are fast, accurate and produce little waste.

I use thin pull cord - has a bit of stretch in it that evens out the pull. You really won't go back after using a winch.

Is that a bit your saving for me Matty?

Great pics gents - you not got a winching set on your mills yet? I could not mill without one these days!

Free to collector IMO

All look really good. Ref pricing - if you look at what it would cost to make if you had to source the components regularly. Say £6 a hook = £36-00 Wood - £15-00 (you may have got at an auction but there is still your time and travel to account for). Oil and sanding, labour at 2.5 hours = say £60-00. Price £111-00. So I'd say in answer to OP £120-00. I know you got the hooks cheaper on that occasion but if you had to make them regularly you may have to buy hooks from a supplier.

Thanks for your order of save edge files - I think you'll like them!

Yep just file it 5-10 degrees to give a ripping effect.

I would have thought so - and they do actually work but only come in size medium (or large in Japan!). Products for the category: Forestry equipment They are also machine washable.

I have quite a bit of wood listed on my ebay shop. Timber sales, Sugihara guidebars Stihl items in chainsawbars alaskanmill and treet store on eBay! There will be some burr elm going up there soon as well...

Thanks for the review The Sugi gloves are really specifically anti vibe and don't have any chainsaw protection on the backs of them.... Did you find them warm? The rubber in them made them toasty for me - but I found them too hot for use in summer time.
