  1. Hi guys, I have a stack of logs want milling in Wigan (North West) I need a mobile saw mill to come to my yard. Does anyone have any contacts? Thanks Lee
  2. If you have any problems sorting with college you are all welcome to use my woodland for climbing and you can all camp over if you wanted? All mature trees and it's located just off M6 Ashton-in-makerfield, Wigan. Lee
  3. I have seen a stenner 56 before, I bet that was around that age
  4. Yes it worked for me when I'd had sciatica for nearly a year it was gone after 2 visits! Worked for other friends and family with problems. Hard to believe when they hardly even touch you.
  5. Froling is the market leader and has been family run for 60 years. Just in the process of having one fitted. ETA was derived from Froling, both are good!
  6. We use a binderberger 40t with 12 way cutting head and we split arb wood so there are lots of mix straight grained wood and knotty, the straight grained splits lovely with little waste but the knotty stuff is forced through the cutting head and come out all shapes. I burn all the small scraps my self. Before we got this splitter we would not even bother wth the horrible knotty stuff as it was too much trouble. If you split straight grain mostly then defiantly go for more knifes if not then consider you will need a LOT of ram power to force the wood through!
  7. I'm also new to milling, I have an Alaskan and bought a Robinson 48" re saw two years ago, I would love a rack saw to break the logs down. A good tip just off the top of my head would be to buy a metal detector to find those bloody nails and screws. Especially if you mill arb timber! Great thread Big j I like your hints, very good ideas and make the job a pleasure ! Lee
  8. Now I've got an excuse to go McDonalds more!
  9. I'm trying to find a bag suitable to fill with this log splitter waste so I can burn them on the wood burner without making a mess ideally thick paper and it might even act as a fire starter! What do you think about filling thick paper potato bags for the wood gasification batch boiler?
  10. Just bought this collino and we all think its great! So much safer, quieter and saves all the bending with the chainsaw! I decided to buy this one because it had the two safety handles so no excuse for any accidents! I will post more pics or vid of it cutting.
  11. This face was in this oak table I made for a friend. Looks like Wilson off castaway!
  12. I have a pc 05 and it looks about the same age, mine is piped so yours may be to, look on the floor and mine has a change over valve and a floor pedal, you may be lucky. The other thing is as soon as I had mine I had to lift the floor as it had filled up with years of mud and bus tickets so much that the levers couldn't operate the spools fully!, proper machine with no flimsy body work! Thanks for the info, yours looks a solid machine! This one appears to be full of oily mud under the floor as there's no underbelly guards so mud can get in and has over the years, I will clean it all soon and find the oil leaks! There's no foot pedal for attachments so will have to get it sorted, not sure if you can buy the pedals for operating piped attachments? I can see on the pump that there is a blanked off bit which is the same as the other parts of the pump which has pipes coming off so this should be it! Where is your changeover valve? Thanks!
  13. I'd like to have a small rotating timber grab on the komatsu just for feeding chippers, probably better than a grapple? Need to have it piped first though.
  14. Here's some pictures of progress with the Hitachi, and there's also been an unplanned purchase of a Komatsu PC10-5 (2 ton) I'm planning to cut the cab off and make a safety cage with canopy as the cab is shot!
  15. This is one we found in our wood Have a guess what it is!
  16. I will certainly keep looking and see what happens, cheers!
