Don't know if anyone has told you but you can be so reassuring at times ?

You do but it doesn't stop the nightmare of have I done the right thing as the country enters a recession

I bought 2 largish wych elms in Feb that now the movement restrictions have been lifted I'm hoping to pick up in the next few weeks providing the owner hasn't got fed up and ringed them up!

It is, it's the B1001 with loading kit, trailer and smart set etc and please don't ask me how much it cost because I'm still having nightmares!

Finally got my new mill up and running and for try out I put an old Elm log on. Nice results and on first impressions I'm pleased with the performance.

Wood boring beetle likes beech, they don't go to far in because it's tough stuff. If you can get the bark off you'll save yourself a heap of trouble in the future

I think I can say this and be certain that I won't be contradicted but you don't have a cat in hells chance of getting a second hand old mill that won't need completely rebuilding for £1000. I sold my 4yr old woodlands a few weeks ago for close on £3k. You'd be better off phoning the local dealers and seeing if they've got anything in stock but be prepared to part with £2-3k for something half decent regardless of spare parts needed.

When I did my solar kiln I picked up some metal encased fans that had come out of an electric generator unit. Don't get anything that has plastic on them and they'll need to be water resistant because of condensation forming overnight. I suggest you check out ebay.

You don't say! And there's me thinking I'm going to get a nice little windfall, oh well back to the day job

Works well on hardwoods never tried it on softwood. Takes some tweeking and getting use to.

Understatement that. I hit a 6" oval when milling Walnut with the bandsaw and it stripped the teeth. Didn't help having changed the blade and turned the log over I hit 4 more nails the same size from the otherside! 6 Nails, to blades f**ked

As he's towing the rig I suspect it's for his awareness where it is as it sticks out. I had similar tied to mine, it helps when reversing.

I've got one, had one for years. You still have to air dry high tannin timbers such as OAk and Sweet Chestnut for about 6 months before kiln otherwise the tannin will corrode the insides of the kit. Built an insulated box using OSB as insulation on it's own is not strong enough for constant use.

He sounds just like the sort of poster this forum doesn't need, it's a pity we don't have twat filter on here!

I suspect, as you've had no reply the answer is no. Most on here sell by m3 or tonne so ft3 is a tad small. Are you after selling or buying price?

Did Dave not get in touch?

If you can get it milled and dried nicely, holds a premium price.

Correct on both counts

Don't know about the grand but the grant is 80% of your profit for the last 3 years divided by 36 paid for 3 months in one lump sum direct into your bank account. However if like me you made a loss in one of those 3yrs it'll be 2 yrs profits divided by 36. It's classed as income/turnover so is taxable at the end of your financial year, free it ain't not in the true sense of a grant. However, I may have got this incorrect and no doubt someone will be eager to point it out if I have!

I got an email to say I couldn't apply until 14th May

In the immortal words of the bard "Bollocks!"

Day rate. No half days and certainly no hourly rate

Just realised I wasn't selling it in this thread oops!
