  1. 33hp super hydraulic. Quieter than older models. Mine brand new and really impressed with speed of cuts, reliability andmost importantly accuracy. Think paid £33k total. Earning steady money. Have you bought one or has yours broken?

  3. think from memory £5k? new of course go diesel! Is yrs not repairable? mine Kubota, amazing engine.
  4. to anyone who thinks the loss of bees is not serious: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” — Albert Einstein No bees, no food : Columbia Valley News for complete article. If you find wild colony, you must ring the local Bee Sheriff (yes they actually exist) and he will be very glad to take it away. I have 1 hive (wild origin) and they have been doing fine. If you are unsure about whether they are honey bees, try google image, they look like wasps with dark brown instead of yellow stripes. (brown/black). They are very docile until you threaten their home, wouldnt you be?)
  5. But the problem being too dry in your humid house (for furniture) is that the wood will swell. Thats a hell of a table at 4" thick! If wood is dried too far below the average moisture content it will reach in use, swelling maycause drawers, windows, and doors to stick for example.
  6. Hello. I am looking for wood recently cut down in the round. I have own transport (40ton) with monster Atlas crane. Also butt ends useful for making furniture blocks. If you have any good quality stuff upto 20' long and 1m in diameter, I will pay cash! No nails please!! email [email protected] or 07887 914894
  7. Is this in the round? i have own transport. can you get any longer than 16'? for roofing application.
  8. I pay £2-£5 per cu ft for oak in the round. (sawmill owner) This £50/cu ft is prime air dried, kiln finished stuff. The problem you have is finding market, transport etc etc. With drying, ps 1" per month in kiln, 2 "= 3 months. What do you want 4" drying for ever for? Cut it thinner and have a use in mind, eg tables. 20" boards at 1", 2" and 3" always useful for furniture/doors. formule for pricing: length (ft) x width (inch) x thickness (inch) divided by 144 = volume ( cu ft) x price pe cubic ft = cost. therefore: @ £5/cu ft, more for sawn!! (this is more like £10-£20) ps 6' x 20"x4"/144= 3.33 cu'ft 3.33x £20 (at best) = £66 Rip his arm off at £80, but make sure he picks it up! even better get him to bring to me for resawing in west sussex! Hope helps.
  9. hi pedro. yes i did think about this a while back but got sidetracked after opening up the alaskan mill page.....i'll give it some more attention this week.

  10. Hi Steve, great forum. Could you set a new area for sawmill guys like me? I am regular saw user but this area could match tree surgeons with sawmill operators when valuable trees are needlessly hacked to pieces? by the way, we pay cash for quality!
