I found half a flat file embedded in a sycamore that I felled from behind a farmyard. I can imagine the disgruntled farmer breaking the file and pelting it across the yard for it to land in the fork of the branches. Saw didn't like it much either!
-
Cheers cornish chough, that would be great 👍 i found the slower i fed it the worse it was, if I sent it on through the blade stayed true after the cut was made. The more I do the more fascinating i find it, love to see what I've uncovered
-
It's the best i got I'm afraid, always wish I'd documented things better! I wonder whether it was a variation on the pine tbh, much harder than the other though
-
Called Atkinson Walker today and they no longer deal with that type of saw. Bennetts however do and are collecting it Thursday morning. It does have guides at the back of the blade which I've adjusted a few times. I shall play around with it when I get it running again.

Cheers agrimog for the well wishes. I've enjoyed today very much
-
It was a strange smell unlike anything I've come across before? Almost chocolatey (is that a word?? 😀) isn't greenheart poisonous? Definitely not larch and doubtful for Douglas
-
Ah there we go! There were three other pieces that I have no idea what they were? A salmon pink timber that was very hard and slowly grown - 3rd pic any ideas anyone??

If I could figure out how the hell to upload a photo I'd post one!!

Have been cutting some pitch pine sea defence timber today. Another chap had tried to mill it with a band but it gummed everything up so badly he sent it my way to try with my rack saw. I thought after standing in the sea twice a day since goodness knows when it would be lousy to cut but it was surprisingly easy! Chap wanted it for floorboards, very attractive timber! Shame its so wasteful but it got the job done
-
A wonderful looking old building! Shame it's got like that. Croatia is somewhere I've always wanted to go, it looks a very interesting place from what I've seen

Thankyou Graham. The teeth were a bit random when I first sharpened them. I tried to get them back straight but I'm sure i haven't got them bang on so I'll start there, out comes the file!
-
Thanks. I've not long had the saw and it's quite obviously had a lot of work over the years. I have lost one holder and tooth and replaced 4 loose holders and teeth so far. I've mostly cut larch and a piece of oak and been quite impressed with what I've produced. The thing which concerns me is the blade wags a bit after a while. I've tried running it at different speeds to see if it stops it but it doesn't. It has quite a bit of flexion when stopped at that point too. Any suggestions where to start? I thought a new set of keys and teeth would be a start
-
Thankyou. Have spent a bit of time crosscutting logs with a tct in the past. I'll price the two up (considerable I'm guessing)
-
What are the pros and cons of a tct to an inserted tooth?
-
Cheers. Think it has a few issues so am keen to get it as near perfect as possible for an old saw. Have a lot to learn
-
Morning all I've recently gone into the world of sawmilling with a rack saw. It has a 4' blade with 3/8 inserted teeth which is fed with a hydraulic table powered by PTO off the tractor. Does anyone know where I can get new teeth, keys/shanks etc in the UK ? Does anyone offer a hammering service?? Thanks
-
Why on earth would there be any kind of legislation regarding firewood?? Standard volume? Assume this is already m3, moisture content? Any reputable merchant sells seasoned logs anyway! Honestly cannot foresee a day where firewood is regulated. Unless I have the wrong end of the stick! Or log :-D

Thanks for the replies. I can see what you're saying Treedave and appreciate the advice. Don't really intend working for fc or any of the like tbh. Anyone know the date when a bloke trying to earn a living was deemed not capable of being responsible for himself?? Drives me nuts -
Hi Can anyone advise me whether the fmoc training is a must or an option?? Can't seem to find the relevant answers!? I own/use my rig and have no employees, am guessing if I were to contract my forwarding services out then I'd fall foul of this? Thanks for looking

Never mind how many there are! it doesnt say what sort they are or anything! no traceability/dna cert/barcode or nowt!
-
Nasty looking bit of wire there mate! They had obviously run out of stakes when they were fencing:biggrin: What will the boards go to make? or do you just sell them on as they are? Any ideas what they would be worth if you dont mind me asking? Those norwood saws are the dogs! A chap that i supply with timber has one which i was very impressed with when i went to see it in action:001_cool:
