They maybe £478 per m3 but be fair they have been "cuted by hands". I'm now off outside to" cute "my own logs:lol:
-
cheap as chips at the moment but reserve not yet met
-
pm Rob D on here. he sells them. or see his web site: alaskan mill I home of the portable chainsaw mill
-
excellent idea. i presume the offender has sold on the wood? get the cash (top dollar) or call the cops margins on firewood are tight enough without scum pinching off you.

class:lol: not sure how it helps with timber handling. suppose it could be useful if you can't get a log on:thumbup1:

as above.. the switchgear box will be smashed to pieces on the first day of use. I must be missing something...why does it have an electric motor...more to go wrong. also infeed conveyor looks short and where is the log deck? a deck is essential if you need to get commercial quantities of firewood out of the machine. imo pay the little bit extra and get a hakki with a deck

Rob your furniture is superb. I dont know if i would have the finesse or patience to make stuff like that. what little i have made tends to be more rough and ready. here is a workbench i made for myself but then ended up selling to a customer who took a shine to it. all milled with 36" alaskan fitted with my trusty sachs dolmar 153 with 30" bar. timber is spruce / scots pine / douglas fir. all firewood lengths that were too big to go thru the Hakki

I waas at a big agricultural / general auction the other day. there was a set of 5 "mushrooms" going under the hammer. didn't even make £15.

Also, remember what it feels like to mill for the first time with a fresh chain and bar. the speed and smoothness you achieve then will be the benchmark for your sharpening later. you will know when you've got it right.

good site. good find. we should all be making these: the oak cube by the oak & rope company | notonthehighstreet.com
-
if you could afford only one mill what would you go for, a swing mill or a bandsaw mill,and why.
-
what does each of those steps do or achieve? just interested.

forty four

that is the root cause of the problem in the UK. there is very little "hard time" for scum that thieve tools from hard working folks. even when caught they are unlikely to get a custodial sentence.

[quote=TimberCutterDartmoor;468943 You'd be better off looking at a fuel pump mod and / or fuel preheater enabling you to run on high CV SVO - 80p a litre from morrisons or less from a cash and carry.[/color] can you not cut svo with unleaded say 25% petrol to 75% svo and run that thru a transit diesel engine without the preheater? I have heard stories to that effect but been too scared to try it myself. i believe you can use up to 2500 litres of svo per year, as fuel, before you have to pay fuel duty so if you can get oil at 80p litre it is worth thinking about.

I'm "sarf london" born and bred but moved out to warlingham surrey then to Romney Marsh in Kent. that was not remote enough so now i'm the token londoner in west Aberdeenshire. does that count as country or town?

your movements can be tracked (by the phone company / govt agencies) with any mobile phone as long as the sim card is in and the battery is not flat. even if the phone is switched off.

no hadn't considered the hud son.
how much is the Hud-son Oscar 236 with and without the road trailer?
-
seriously considering one of these mills. anybody own one already? pros? cons? what alternatives should i consider?
-
i run a hakki 1x37. it can take up to 14" dia timber. I work on my own and the best i have ever managed is 20m3 ( into bags not a pile) in one long day. as steve says above you need optimally sized timber (8" to 12" for me). it also needs to be clean to minimise tooth sharpening or chain changes. with an extra pair of hands I could probably manage 30m3 a day split into bags. do not get hung up on weight. measure your output by volume.

A cautionary tale: i went to school with a guy back in the late seventies who was a committed skinhead boot boy. he had "SKINS" tatooed across the top of his shaven head with a large swastika just below the I. he grew up, and ceased to be a skinhead and let his hair grow out covering the tatoos. fast forward 30 years... he had become a respectable member of the community, a local (labour) councillor and company director. when i bumped into him 2 years ago he was as bald as coot. his hair had all fallen out. the tattoo had been "removed" but the unmistakeable outline of the swastika was still visible . Definitely one "story" about himself that he didn't want retelling.

I prefer to see prices exc delivery. I expect to pay for delivery if order value is below say £50. but above that figure I would expect delivery to be free. use the "£50" threshold as a selling tool to drive up your sales. if you need to have an advice line use a premium rate no service to get a cut of the call revenue to offset against your staff cost.
