Good result. Let me know when you've got it and I'll come stand with an apple on my head.

Get yourself a carlton file o plate. Best way to set raker height. -
Nah. Posts didn't budge. Hinge eyes sagged/bent a bit after cladding though. Adjusted them out easy enough. If its a problem in the future a small castor wheel will be added to the bottom of the gate so when they are shut the weight is supported.

Not intending to treat it. Happy for it to grey off. The gates are at my parents house and they don't want any maintenance. Hence the new garage being cedar and the gates larch. They look great now. They will slowly weather and grey off, the only way to prevent this is either continual oiling or a few coats of some sort of toxic varnish every couple of years. You can put clear coat preservative on but it won't stop it weathering. With our climate it would be a continual battle to maintain the way it looks now. Id rather not bother and accept the natural look.

Oh I see. No batten, 20mm x 3mm angle (had to buy that) puddle welded on to the 40mm box. The centre horizontal Strut is 20mm x 3mm box.

When I say scrap. Its my metal collection really. Would never scrap it.
-
M16 field gate hook and eye similar to this. Hooks bolted to the rsj. M16 into scrap made brackets (old heavy angle) welded to box section
-
Thanks guys
-
Rsj i beams. 3ft deep set in concrete. Think they were 5x7. Off the scrap heap. Same as most of the other metal.
-
Any pallet delivery?
-
It's a much better bow.
-
Been making some gates. Never made any this big before. Made from 40mm box steel salvaged from old stillages and 22mm English larch cladding. Quite happy with how they came out.

Buy a reasonable bow from Merlin. If you have land to shoot on and that's all you intend to do then you don't need to spend loads,If you want to buy a kit this would be better thec the previous one mentioned 68" Adult Gent First Shot Kit WWW.MERLINARCHERY.CO.UK Ready to take your first shot? The First Shot Archery Kit is perfect for you. Combining a quality take down recurve bow with all the accessories you need to get started. An archery club could be useful although I've never been to one except in my role as a scout leader.

I don't think it's sapele but I don't know what it is. Helpful I know.
-
That's well priced. Is it all metal construction and good with Milling chains?
-
I'm quite adept at hand filling. But when you come home from work with 6 190 link chains, some with metal damage, it gets rather laborious trying to get them back to prefect with all cutters the same length. Especially if the metal damaged teeth need 4mm taking off. That's a lot of hand filling
-
There is a cheap one in the community workshop here. Don't use it. Prefer hand filling or my Granberg 12v
-
Kevin's advice is spot on for your average town /Village development plan. Planners should consider it but can ignore it too. Government policy rules.
-
Looks good. There will be none of that elm if you move down south you know.

He must mean the new forest. 🤣

The time has come for a new bench mounted chain grinder. Been looking at what's available. Oregon grinders seem to be popular. They have the compact for £60. I assume by the price that this isn't up to much. They have the professional compact for around £200 and the professional for around £300. Then the professional hydraulic but not interested in that. Is there much difference in ability, accuracy and ease of use in these two or will the £200 one do the job? Or does anybody else have any other recommendations? £300 Ish is my upper limit. Will mostly use it for 190 link Milling chains. Managed with a Granberg precission 12v grinder till now but bored of the faff and want something easier. Cheers chaps. Opinions gratefully recieved.

4 days of logging fills the log shed. And while my mates botek was here I got him to line up 3 ash and one big oak for Milling next week.
-
Will post some up later in the week I only have cheap recurve bows though. Nothing flash as I only shot targets at home
-
What area of the country do you want to end up in?
-
A good bow and decent hunting arrow will take down most things. In the right hands of course and those hands aren't mine.
