  2. cool video, if you could drop those stems in my yard would be well handy:001_tt2:
  3. first view,,,looks great, and very robust, he might have got away with bringing the two ends in slightly and then not needing the middle leg, but thats just my thoughts, top job though,:thumbup:
  4. solid bench that ,nice,that`ll see us all out,lol
  5. Have tried both peg and pencryl both not a viable option commercially ,although I wanted to see the end results as I do a lot of wedding stuff,mbut to make it pay on small stuff it's a gamble, some discs split some don't when air dried,even submerged ones in pencryl didn't last,and an expensive test,all in all I,d cut loads and hope for the best,on the other hand if it was a one of for a project for myself I may be more patient
  6. thats a great recycling story if ive ever seen one,brilliant,
  7. Spooky ,I lived in ecclesial rd too around that time,staying in a room in cemetery avenue, on the floor with a mate who kindly put me up,as I was travelling doing summer jobs etc,climbing etc, worked at meadow hall as a security guard to make ends meet, this actually got me my first job as they where impressed with my work ethic ,ie willing to do anything, I applied for a job in Wokingham ,and got it as a ranger,(trainee), from there I built up my own company,etc etc, why not go and do some free work with accommodation just to give you a change of scenery?volunteer etc,might lead to new opportunities, your certainly qualified enough,', Any way fond memories of Sheffield,the foundry,Robinson ales,grindleford cafe and chip butties,,,,good luck neil:thumbup:
  8. Have just fitted one,defo not cheap and cheerful,heavy as to be honest,had it running for about a month,whacked a liner up the chimney and that's as far as I've got,need to add a cowl and a plate at bottom of the chimney,but couldn't wait,last night the room was toasty,so toasty it sends me too sleep,lol
  9. Interesting mate , been speaking to my dealer about one this week,and having read this thread I mentioned the DPF , he also assured me that the problem had been solved? :thumbdown:
  10. strange, never had any staining on any sycamore ive milled only chestnut and oak due to tannins,,,,?
  11. stick a couple of stamps on it mate and send it down to my mill
  12. Good videos, looks like you lose the top board on the trek met due to damage on the roller, like wills video the guys set up is brilliant and efficient.
  13. shame on you Steve,British woods only in my yard
  14. Now I'm after your burrs,,,,especially acacia Or elm ! Send me pics,',
  15. the amount of people who bring to me 1" boards 12"-16" wide expecting me to plane the curve out on my 24" planner is unreal,they look dissapointed when I tell them there`ll be nothing left onve the curve has gone, lol, I always allow forthis when milling with the end product in mind,not that this is relevant james,but replying to duncansimpson really, On a barn I`m building for air drying my timber(now got a mates caravan and loader in)I`m butting the boards right up /touching to allow for natural shrinkage,hence providing me the gap, they so far havnt moved as the logs where fairly dry when milled.look forward to seeing it
  16. I`m with steve on this one,,I had it bad,and the main instigator was my motor bike,and one handed chainsawing, so have cut down on both,I did use a neopreme bandage,but sweats like crazy and itches..
  17. You can tell it's built by a guy with his own mill:thumbup: solid 👍what's on the roof? Felt?
