For Husky, Stihl, etc.... Is the chainsaw future battery powered?
kav replied to Saegengott19's topic in General chat
Lightweight, no leads, super convenient, quicker than hand tools?, I'm not knocking battery at all, I think it 100% the way to go. Was just making the point (maybe badly) that year ago when I started you could just about get a drill/driver (and people knocked them) and now look at how good some of the kit is -

Totally. Battery definately the way for small stuff but petrol for cutting etc. Be intetesting to see what the next few years bring -

25 years ago no-one thought battery drills/tool would be the way forward! -
I have a smart pusher for sale, it's handy bit of kit I just don't use it much and trying to rationalise what we have
-
I'll ask the owner of them if I can borrow them and try and get some made up. Super handy
-
Good website too-loads of info
-
Thankyou, much appreciated??
-
If no-one else is keen I'm happy to travel from Oxford. Always nice to get out of the shire Thanks Kav

?spot the hole where we had to did out a nail!!

Bit of cedar and yew from earlier in the week, cut a load of funky stuff but was slack on the photos
-
Yeah, shavehorse(s), clamp the wood with foot while shaping with a drawknife, good old technology still being used today
-
Im guessing it was probally ment for timber-customer had them. I want a set!! Yes there are rollers on the hooks so chain evens out most of the time and it can be shorten down. Needs a swivel in the top hook ideally but really handy and saves sliding slabs
-
Thanks, the big oak and cedar was lovely to cut! (and no slabbing?)
-
Awesome few days milling for 3dWood/Nick Speakman Sculpture. Cut a load of big Oak and Cedar plus a bit of Wellingtonia and some funky sycamore. So glad we had a forklift and also this super handy lifting chains!!

Starting out subcontracting - advice, thoughts?
kav replied to Will Ingleton's topic in General chat
Obvious stuff like tidy kit and unmarked truck, turn up when you say and graft but don't under sell yourself too cheap. Good luck -
Guess the trailer is pricey due to limited market etc? I don't know much about bandsaws but when I cut some pine with a mate the cut was wavey as seemed to be pushed about in knots? SAre you cutting different timber?
-
Nice looking boards and good work trying something different. What about stock piling some wood and getting someone in to mill/resaw it?
-
Yeah mill it! I'll have it if you don't want it ?
-
I get what you are saying totally but it is funny how they won't mind if its ringed up for firewood but suddenly it becomes much more valuable to them it its being milled
-
Monday and Yesterday milling! Great site-terrible weather!! Sunburn then soaking wet?
-
I'm interested in this too as after new workshirts/hoodies. Some of my best/longlived tshirts were organic ones from Howies but I think their print shop needs big numbers to do a run now. I'm currently looking at options with shirtworks.co.uk as I've had stuff in the past from them and are local to me
-
Is it duarable? I might be interested
-
If you need a number for Delabodge i have one

Digging up an old thread here! How did the planer work out. I’m really keen for 1 but as you say, no cheap!! thanks
