Hi Millers, Barring read through the many threads on here from other newbies. Does anyone know if there is a nice "download" - able PDF or something that I might print and take out to the shed with me? Cheers Bob

I have a Hultafors Craftsmans knife. V Similar and sub £5 if you look around. Lovely and sharp, keeps an edge well. Smashing. Bob

Cheers Rob you are a star! Got mine yesterday. It's brilliant and I'm looking forward to my first milling experience. I'll be coming back for an Alaskan if it works out as well as I hope. Thanks again. Bob

Hi Dave, I sent you a pm. Hoping I can get a couple of smaller loads. Ta Bob

I was much the same....I thought bat first then they started chattering/screeching. I only posted as I wasn't sure if I was imagining it.

Last night out the back of the house......that familiiar screeching. They are back... Anyone else? Bob

Here , here. Or is this worth raising with Steve as a Forum improvment. To have an "inappropriate" flag on a message. If enough members "veto'd" the post it would/could be deleted?

Hi Steve, Many thanks.

Hi, When I click on my "ID" on the top right of the webpage it takes me off to a Random Members profile page... I can't currently attach the screen grab. Has anyone else got this? I can't modify my profile without the page. Bob **Edit** When I click on my ID on the post it takes me to the same random page.

[ATTACH]199864[/ATTACH] Ok. My collection isn't huge but I do love my Danarm.... 1955 Mk3 Almost at the stage where it'll run.... Bob

I saw the Swedish Candle stool link and know what I'll be experimenting with in the next few weeks.... :-)

I have a similar construction..... I stack everything I can. Yes it does take a little longer. Very calming and theraputic....Plus I find I can get loads more in the shed than when it's loose. Saying that, I do have a few bags on pallets for the stuff thats just to gnarly to stack. Bob
-
Yes it looks fast....but is that not a problem? Accidents where things get trapped are dealt with faster? My hydraulic might not be fast, but I have the chance to back it out if things look shaky...this has only one mode. Smash Sorry, not for me. If I want fast I'll go back to the reliable X27 Bob
-
I use the sharpening steel for the kitchen knives and occasionally the fine oil stone to keep it tip-top. I also wouldn't compare my X27 with a maul. From my experience the sharp blade penetrates easily then the clever shaped casting and weight of the head muller the piece I'm splitting. Found it so good (efficient) I bought the smaller X17 for everyday......and all day use.

Yup....Balsa is a Hardwood... :-) Bob

Pretty sure I've seen a post in chainsaw forum about this. Look at stuff from Spud

Still on Google Earth. Gives some real scale to the pile... 56°46'56.55"N 13°36'18.11"E

Cheers Spud. I'll see about getting it running then go from there.

This is brilliant, I get this replacing the points, however I am also looking for something that might replace the old shelac wound coil....I'm restoring a Danarm Mk 3 (Villiers 350cc) 2-man saw. Is it as simple as getting one of the smaller induction coils from a saw/scooter/whatever and making a rig to keep it close to the magneto? Bob
-
I made a wooden one with some lengths of 50mm sq wood and some coach bolts / wing-nut etc..I had kicking around. Dead handy as long as the log isn't over heavy. Then the wife bought me a Stihl Metal sawhorse ( 000 0881 4607 Metal Saw Horse)..the chain is handy for securing multiple sticks or for larger lumps. Difficult to choose, although the Stihl gets more use due to having lots of heavier lumps around around currently. Bob
-
Agreed, Stove only...split when green with no real problems. Had some seasoned for 2 years and it was like iron. Gave a nice pleasant aroma when I left a few smaller bits near to the stove.
-
I use another pallet with 1000 gauge membrane stapled to it. Seems to keep most of the weather off. Plus you stack 2 or 3 high using a plain pallet on top of each bag and then have the covered pallet on the top. Bob

Hi, Does anyone produce and sell wood pellets / briquettes in smaller bags. I know a place that sells by the builders bag, but I find them too diffficult to manage and move around. I can move 15/25kg bags and stack and store easy. I'm looking for 20 up to 50 if the price is right. I have the means to collect and move. Thanks Bob Zero -7854146516

One of the wife's relatives, a rag-n-bone man. Was known on occassion to burn roof joists from bombed houses in a similar style. Splayed out across the floor of the room feeding a small grate. Bob
