carving / milling project
harvey b davison replied to harvey b davison's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Hi blue, its for my cousin. She has an ice cream van. Its a jokey thing between us. It started as a conversation about death and coffins, and then i said i could make you an urn shaped like an ice cream van. So i want to do one as a planter, if you get me. lol. -
Petition to get Nigel Farage onto the EU Referendum Debate
harvey b davison replied to Brian S's topic in General chat
When screaming lord sutch created the loony party and made all those big statements everyone laughed at him. What happened, over time most of his policies came to fruition via other parties that cottoned on he wernt such an idiot after all. I believe the same is true about farage, people laugh at him now, but just wait a few years, they wont be laughing then. I honestly believe that farage is one of the best and brainiest politicians out there, and if people had more sense they would team him up with bojo, and steamroller us out of europe. -
carving / milling project
harvey b davison replied to harvey b davison's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Hi all, slight derail from the ice cream van, but is anyone still making (or know where i can get them from), those die grinding attachments for burning eyes into animals. Have been looking at old threads but the only person (norfolkngood) doesnt appear to post anymore. Any ideas ? -
I was looking at these last night for ideas Log Cabin Lodges Co The home of handcrafted log cabins in the UK

After years of saying i'm going to try both, i now have an idea for a simple project. First of all is turkey oak ok for carving. I have access to a large lump of it. (It has been down at least 4 years, just need to cut a block off it, its approx 2ft dia) Out of it i would like to mill and carve an ice cream van, but also have the back hollowed out to be able to use as a planter. Does this make sense ? If so any guidance on how to go about it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

when i can find out how to do it, and when they are fully drawn then i post all the pictures and info up. At college on wednesday so will find more details out then.
-
That is awesome. Well done.

Hi andy, i'm still on with the project. But had problems at college with the tutor leaving, and them not having anyone else to replace them with. Nearly got all my drawings and specs done, but have cheated a little, by copying a lot of info and price guides off the net. What started out as a good project has now become a pain as we all dont know what direction the new tutor will want to go with it.

In that case go for a samsung solid.

when finances allow, might get a machine only ps32 off you andrew for it to live on permanently if possible.

Haha, snap !, here's my match up. The little dolly is now sporting a little carver bar supplied by shavey, and its magic. Not tried it yet, and wont for a few months, but it looks ideal for what i want it for. Well chuffed with it.

Oh hell. Wish i had known about it earlier. I went last year and my two daughters really enjoyed it. I met a nice young woman there as well. Wish it was advertised more.

Stanley Dynagrip. I've just upgraded my work ones to stanley fatmax ones. Hate the bloody metal strike cap though.

If there still around, theres fishlake commercials, which used to be pretty good. They were based out near thorne. which is on the edge of donacster. Where abouts is the vehicle.
-
I use a set of stanley or marples, but dont forget i do it for a living. Like steve says, a cheap set can work just as well. Just keep the edges sharp.

For me it depends on what your making the mortices in. If its rough timber for fence panels and gates etc then chain morticer for definate. If its pse timber then a bench morticer If fine detailing then i use hammer and chisel I have just bought myself some timber frame chisels as well to do large mortice holes, but like steve, i also do it for a living. Its not often i use a router for morticing, but when needed on site, they do come into there own to speed things up a bit. Get a good quality one like dewalt, trend, or my favourite, a makita. cheers

Like the middle picture Barrie.

Snap :001_tongue:Haha, i've found my old phone, complete with all my old numbers. Magic.:thumbup:

Nice tidy work.
-
Cheers bob, thats the phone i'm interested in.

Thinking of getting either a cat b25 or jcb sitemaster Any opinions Cheers
-
Its a fine saw. Big brute, solid and reliable, not fast cutting but plenty of muscle to power through most things. Mines underused so thinking about milling with it.
-
Hey steve, thats quite good. well done.

Hi shavey. As always, you will be my first port of call.
