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
-
Maybe i do need to buy that super slabber!!
-
Yes. I’d be very interested. 07703192775 [email protected] thanks

Should be ok I guess. Cut a few and see how they drive in, 1 1/2" should be fine. I've always be of the opinion if they are straight then use anything, they really only need to last a few seasons-hazel isn't that durable. I've used birch, dogwood, sawn softwood, peeled willow etc etc . I'm sure years ago folks would have used what they had.
-
Cool makes sense thanks
-
Any reason for the reson for 0 degree or just personal preference? Im on 10 on my slabber
-
How wide can you go. I can get 1.5m on my slabber but I don't think its enough!
-
They are at my yard near Oxford. Sounds like a plan, go to be worth as go as they are fliipin massive!! Butt has got to be 6' diameter and 10' long- took some shifting. We moved them a couple of years ago, not sure how long it had been down before that
-
I've got these big ol lumps of Oak to mill, just not sure if I should spend the time on them or just bin them (some of the other rough bits might go that way). I'd like the challenge but they definitely have signs of decay and are a bit soft in places. Original thinking was to try and cut some posts and boards out with the Lucas (might have to do a bit of mill moving) and work around the soft bits. Or maybe try and get some monster slabs either with my slabber or get someone in with double ended chainsaw mill. Any thoughts?

I have one from Logosol on the bench and did use the granberg before that
-
Yeah i was well chuffed, she is building her portfolio and wants to do as much varied stuff as possible. Had a great day milling and by the time i had dinner the video arrived?
