Yep. Decent energiser and sheep netting.

It is sad event. Not pleasant for anyone involved. 2 things... 1 )I can't remember the distance but think it's close on 3m for the safe distance from 11kv to avoid the "jump" 2) Complacency...always there. The - "I've done t a 100 times before"....always a bad start to the story. Risk assess yes, but complacency is the killer.

I must admit that I thought the same. Maybe the weight saving of the Carbon Fibre is off-set by the "tank guard" ????

That would be interesting. I would have thought the whole oil mix would exclude them from any "healthy" emissions

I'd be looking at en Eggloo or something similar. The house and run are integral and in a smaller garden give you the ability to move it around. The chickens will tear up a little "yard" and turn it into a quagmire. Moving the run ease the burden on the ground and also self fertilises the grass. Win , Win. Echo all other statements re- Avian flu and rodents. Don't leave lots of feed around and it'll be easier to manage. Fresh eggs.....winner!

I use a biscuit joint bit in a router. Trying to make the most of one tool. Look forward to the progress photos. :-) https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-biscuit-jointing-kit-47mm-4-pcs/65290

Had my portek for 8 months and it's magic. All my milling chains 3/8 LP and .404 go through it. I find it easier to set up than my Granberg bar mounted. That still gets used to put a quick edge on in the woods. From memory F R Jones was cheapest delivered.

Hi, Is the vertical cut jig a Chinese jobbie or an Alaskan?
-
Hope it works. Fiddly job but it did cure my 261. Best of luck.

Cut old sleepers with a chainsaw to make a garden retaining wall. Blunts chains faster than anything else I've cut. Ended up using a 9" grinder and metal cutting disc. I imagine it'd be just as hard n your band saw. I'd be very interested in your experience and results.

You've done a M-tronic "reset" on it? My 261C did similar. New solenoid did the trick.
-
i've milled some and the boards were ok. Very light in colour and took oil or stain easy. I've also gut it and dried for firewood and it does ok. Not brilliant but not too bad to mix in amongst other stuff. In the end it's how much time and space you have. The boards will take time to mill and dry. My preference I'd firewood it and save your chains for something nice.

Timber Market TIMBERMARKET.CO.UK -
I have sold mainly through eBay as I don't do Facebook. Gumtree yes, not as successful but no "fees". Just about to try Timber Market as it's a UK thing and not USofA. There does seem t be a lot of "wanted" ads that I have product for. Hopes are high .

I saw that too. Road legal? Under 750kgs maybee's but is it?

It does look good. If he sells it it'll be worth a few squid. -

Wow! Nice result. Good luck.

The roll off is within the last 6-8 inches. As I progress further down the log it gets exaggerated and is nearly a foot. It doesn't' always happen and after all of your helpful comments I believe it is most probably me being over zealous with my wedges. I am sorry that some feel it isn't a big issue. I felt that if the board needs to be as perfect as it could be, so it would minimise the amount of planing and sanding to get the finished article. And Maximise the board length available. Cutting off the waste would mean a diminishing stack of boards....or wasting good board so I could maintain a standard length across the stack. If you get me? Can't abide waste, which is why I try and re-cycle these lumps to boards. I'll hopefully get the chance this weekend to have another go at big lump of Cedar sat on the drive. Thanks to all for your positive insight.

Cheers. No I haven't . I will give it a go. I also think @CDMRhas a good point. I might have been a bit over keen on wedges. They were big slabs and I didn't want the pinch marks from the back of the chain. I'll also try @Will C

Hi All, Recently I'm having a problem where towards the end of the board the cut starts to roll off. The further down the job i get the worse it gets as it's compounded by more roll. I can reset it with a new first cut/straight edge but I'd really like to know what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to focus on keeping both rails flat. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

That spalting is lovely. What did you finish the top with? Osmo?
