ok, oak seems to be wasted here then! too hot to burn and not a traditional building material. i'll still start asking people as we're either cutting soft woods into rings for them to split or transport takes all wood inc oak to the big mulcher. theres an un explored buisness somewhere along these lines it seems. i still reckon i know of one niche area planking would be a big hit

what sort of mill was it Tobias? an alaskan bolt on to chainsaw type mill, or band saw type? do you reckon swedes would like their trees planked? alot of gardens seem to have sawn timber kicking about or things being built. . . ohh just had a brain wave, there is a market for it and i know where, for sure:biggrin: definatly be bringing the 88 and alaskan over now

thankyou! cheers dan! spring is when people want you over here (early to mid april), best start looking december time so you have time for a trial week, ect. arbjobs is youre best bet i reckon cheers rob, heres one for you, a fell from friday, shame i diddnt have an alaskan, i reckon there might be a market for planking timber on site here, especially oak as theres lots of oaks, and swedes think it burns too hot so chuck it:confused1: its minus 20 outside in winter and oak burns too hot:lol:

elm reduction, spec to reduce as much as poss but leaving it looking good, so just done a reduction a-la-josh before after before after and various other after shots its bigger than it looks in the pics, dwarfed the 6 storey buildings around it, some bits over freshly planted garden roped off

to be honest it sounds like a very time consuming way of using an alaskan from my understanding of what you propose, youd have to stabalise the log, set all the legs at diffrnet heights for the mill to be level on rough ground, so any measure on the legs will be no use as each one will be diffrent to have the mill level, youd then need to faf about with bolting the alaskan onto the bar on with the ladder between alaskan rails and bar, then set the depth on the alaskan, taking into account the ladders depth. mill a plank off, reset the 4 legs by the same ammount prob using a tape measure, to lower the jig to mill another plank mill a plank off, reset the legs again mill a plank off reset ect wheras the alaskan,, screw the ladder on, mill, remove ladder, set plank depth, mill, mill mill! sorry for being a pessimist, keep thinking though!

i know, the lack of rain is a real pain, constant sunshine and blue skys is too idylic:001_tongue: you can be my chamber maid if you like mate?? theres lots of trees! haha, seems to be alot of work, i know another arbtalker has got a job over here last week. keep an eye on arbjobs. i think companys really look for people at the start of the season, around march, for when everywhere starts to thaw out in april

for any saw i just use the non bungie tool strops with the metal ring, one of the long ones as ive a long reach! the beech doesnt look too bad, just a shame about the gap on the left, why do you think it diddnt turn out as well as you hoped? (if you know what youre not happy with, you'll not do the same next time!)
