What is your single most beneficial exercise for Arb work.
Ian Flatters replied to coolie's topic in General chat
I think any martial art is good for your body i do Hapkido, Hanmudo and Judo, the workouts loosen wrists, ankles and most muscle groups. Getting thrown around and hitting the floor toughens you up for when 'that branch catches you in the face:lol:. Also they give you great core muscles especially when sparring and someone kicks you in the gut:thumbup: -
Anyone know of any decent books for DIY benches, tables, etc, etc?

Right i've decided it might be a better investment to buy the 56" mill instead of the 36" as it can be reduced to fit my 30" bar and has potential to be made bigger without me having to buy another mill. Good idea?
-
go on, buy buy buy You must have stakes in his buisness:lol::lol:

Just messaged Rob.

Hi Rob,
Im thinking of buying the Alaskan mill 3 36" from you and was wondering if the arbtalk 10% was applicable for the mill itself?
Ian.

I think its going to be the alaskan mill 36" looks better than the 30" good call Josh. Plus if i E-mail Rob D it says 10% off! so always a winner with me:thumbup:

Looking into buying a mill jig for a chainsaw and have been looking into the logosol big mill basic which is £500 odd quid, so weighing up the other options out there i.e. the Alaskan mill 30" to be exact and it only costs £180. So are the Alaskans a pile of poo? or are they great? P.S im only milling for the sake of turning what would be firewood into a resource.

Great lunge! i hope you added it to the lunge thread? Oh yeah, nice fell.

Hi, im looking to start planking the bigger stems of oak, beech etc if fell to use it as a better resource instead of firewood. I was wondering those who do plank timber what the cost you sell it at to carpenters for instance. I asked a few near me who are all interested in fresh cuts of oak mainly. I don't want to undercharge as such. Any ball park figure would be good for me to see whats possible. Per plank, cube weight, meter, etc If you don't want to post costs openly on here PM me.

Lop it and Scarper LTD.

You've got to look beyond the arb factor its referd to in ann's diary a few times so something like this is worth preserving till its ultimate demise in my opinion.

Device for easy retrieval of Cambium Saver (Friction Saver)
Ian Flatters replied to morten's topic in Climbers talk
Im sure there was something like this in metal a number of years back when cambium saver first hit the market?? -
Nice pics and a good explanation. I think i'll probaly get one now, the cut quality looks better than i expected a bit of a sand and job done. Althugh i would only really use it if i fell a oak, beech, walnut etc (probaly everything)

And for everything else theres Mastercard:lol:
