I've only done a few days Alaskan milling, the best way I found for ease and board finish was too start the saw in the wood as usual, then once its a bar width in, lock the throttle with a tie wrap and pull the mill along with a bit of rope 1 handed, the control is great, theirs no vibrations and your away from the dust and dangerous bit. When near the end , pop of the wrap and finish as usual. You really need a helper for doing the wedges. I've got a pic at home I'll dig out when I'm home.

Nice 1!!

Did he need it to tie his blind dog to? He he

I don't usually like the shiny finish but when I look at that picture I hear Glug Glug Glug in my head! I want some pudding now

Best thread title ever!! Very talented indeed!!

I don't take sugar in hot drinks, don't drink fizzy juice, my diluting juice is sugar free. I need the motivation to do something but I just don't have it

Sounds nice , tbh my diet is good and not too far away from that. I know when I'm having snacks and rubbish and I've kept a food diary for 2 weeks with the App, and I was within my 2700 that was with the odd pack of crisps .

Definately, before kids came along and I didn't really do any sitting about I was 11 stone 2 and like Zebidee! I understand I'm 8 years older now but I feel like an old man compared to then and I didn't go near a gym. To save me searching the thread, what's your daily food intake.

That's cool, so are you cutting with your natural feeling of where you should with experience ?
-
I need to do something, I usually hit the gym this time of year for getting ready for spring but I'm sick of it, it's so boring and time consuming .
-
Nice 1! Personally I feel done in most of the time. I may give this a try, I would need the house to be irradicated from all goodies though as I get bored in the house and raid the cupboards. How much weight have you lost?

Imo trousers are the most important part of Ppe , get a pair of Type A, 36" waist, 32" long trousers, simples Also a pair of protection wellies are good and cheap. Make sure the saws chain catcher is there aswell. A mask for dust is useful aswell.

That's Liam's grandad! He's got over a million hits on utube I'm sure for his 090 oak cutting. -
Do you type with your phone? I couldn't be bothered using the arrows to do each letter with the TV doodler.

You'll fit a lot more in stacking it.

Glug some chain oil inside it and waggle the levers about . Then I'd stick it in for a service , mine cost £60 at my local rigging shop.

I've got a smart Tv, its in the boys playroom. I've started using it for utube to save my neck from the Ipad. How do you get on the forum with it? I launched the instructions obviously

Imo it should be climber, 2 groundies and chipper 1 day. Then 2 groundies, 1 cutting , 1 stacking the other day. This is if the timber is to be splitatable sizes . Second tree looks like a fell or top out and fell. I'd day it was a £700 plus vat job and I'd do it my way in a day with Mog, hiab and chipper and take me 3 tonner with grab and 1 Groundie . If you can get £1400 nice 1. Do not assume you will get other work without a written contract .

Braces under the t shirt if your a real man Overs a recipe for sawdust in the pants

Pour some juice on them, preferable sugar free diluted kiora and wipe them on your t shirt, that's the way I Loler mine every 6 months whether they need it or not:)

I still climb prussik and don't do as much climbing, binned going to the gym and rarely climb without spiked on dismantles . Recently I've started using a pantin and ascender to get me up bigger stuff for removing broken limbs, say 40 ft straight stems. Certainly a lot easier on the right application . Still with my prussik on double rope , its alien to me to prepare so much just to get up there when previously it was a throw with my rope and bag, and hump my way up before the boys had fueled my saw lol
