    Tonight my workshop was burgled. A few power tools were stolen. All my carvings were left alone, several weeks worth of hard graft. I wouldn't have minded so much except that they torched the place. It was gutted and so am I. No insurance as it was considered too vulnerable and insecure.Why couldn't they just have robbed me? Scum.

    Been carving with a pair of 357xps as my normal saws for years and I love them. Obviously have a variety of saws for big cuts etc. The other day I borrowed JohnP's 560XP for half an hour and gave it a good beasting. WOW. Just got to get one, impressive machine !

    Shot blasted? Lovely work btw. Hopefully the arch will survive the woodburner this winter as it's so mild!

    Husky 357XP, my standard saw. Perfect in every way!

    Ithink it looks great! Even better if the height was varied to look like sea waves.

    I'll have a look for pics........might not show much though as we try to make the joints and wood/grain matches invisible Customers moan like hell if we don't!

    The oak dowel is easy, just drill cap and stem to size. Have to do the coach bolt thing now due to injury litigation the summer before last when a 14 yr old climbed on one at an event , cap came off and they ended up with a broken leg....................

    Very fat pieces of oak dowel AND hefty stainless steel coach bolts. I counter sink an oversizee hole for the CBs and pre drill pilot holes. Finally I plug the counter sunk holes with oak dowel that match the grain so it's almost invisible.

    Hi, i'm new here... I'm based in Taunton and am a chainsaw sculptor. I'm always looking for reasonably priced timber, especially oak, weillingtonia, robinia, yew, sweet chestnut, walnut, and cedar. I'm more than happy to take horrible odd shaped knotty stuff which is impossible to split for firewood, especially if it is forked. I'll pay a fair price and can collect from site. If necessary I can arrange a big lorry with big crane, cheers , and glad to have been directed to this top forum by john p, a top arbochap and allround superhero, james 07885 139827
