    Nice. They do look like great tools.

    Looks awesome. What's the length and width of cut.?
  3. muttley9050
    2 years to put a shovel in the ground. When that's done no time limit.

    Hate seeing Robinia as firewood. Beautiful and I believe the most durable of all native species.

    I have no issues with drying Sycamore. Lovely timber. Similar to beech it benefits from being left on the ground for a year to encourage spalting. Table in this photo is a lovely bit of syc. Stays flat and beautiful grain.

    They are reasonably simple machines mark. What exactly can't you sort on it?

    I cut big oaks all the time. 6m x 12" is definately not worth 2k. If only 4 beams came out of an oak it isn't that big.Beams 10m plus get more expensive as trees of beam quality are hard to find at that length. In my opinion the oak trigger is cutting is not really beam quality due to the faults and excessive twisting of the grain. Makes nice slabs but will be difficult slabs to control at 6m long.

    Definately got a sliding carriage I expect the was originally a ratchet mechanism to move t he log sideways

    I thought this machine was belt driven from a stationary engine so no 3ph motor to worry about?

    Your right in some ways but I look at it differently. I already have a lucas so not in the market but if I had the space and wanted something for hobby Milling I could justify this not a all singing Woodmizer. Would take me a day to get it back to mine my dad would help. So no great cost. Evenings when I fancied for a month or two to get it all set up and make or buy the bits required. I would enjoy this process so no bother. Not a fan of eastenders. Is advertised as cutting like a dream and engine is working so isn't broken yet. Looks like a cheap set up for the right person to me but I have been wrong before. I do agree though. Commercially not viable. But many of the things i do with wood aren't really commercially viable either.

    I don't see how that could cost so much to move and transport. Pretty sure I could do it for next to nothing. I appreciate a Woodmizer would be a better choice but a decent Woodmizer is 10k plus. Pretty sure I could buy this for 1.5 k and have it running in my workshop for another grand. Its comes with an engine so no 3 phase required

    Looks a nice saw and a bargain at that price. I saw one similar being used once and wasn't difficult to reset for next cut. Had some sort of a ratchet system. Not sure about this one though. Will be easy to manually push if bed is set up well and in good condition

    If I had to sell mine for that I think it would be cheaper to chuck the logs straight in the boiler.
  14. muttley9050
    Yeah. Seen that. Lots of nice stuff. Looking at selling not buying though. Most of what they have listed as sleepers are 2"thick too. I call that a plank.
  15. muttley9050
    8ft?
  16. muttley9050
    Hi all. What's are people current selling oak sleepers for. 8x4 and a reasonably good grade? Cheers James

    I charge my mate £50 an hour every body else £60. Minimum 6 hours.

    Couple of scaffold poles for rolling heavy slabs with and to help moving logs about

    Poplar

    Might have something to do with the over zealous reduction recently carried out.

    Never use push fit myself except in vans. Never trusted them. End feed solder all the way.
  21. muttley9050
    I always keep a couple of imperial olives and a couple of end feed 22/34 solder fittings in the bag. Real ball ache trying to do it the other way. I wouldn't think about trying to use metric push fit on an imperial pipe. Sweat a changeover to metric on and push fit away. It is possible to sweat a 22mm end feed onto a 3/4 but if you get it to hot it will fail.
  22. muttley9050
    Yeah it's a high lift. If I ever sell it I expect I will make a profit. Parts aren't really available any more so everything has to be made but I like to tinker.
  23. muttley9050
    They're great. Unfortunately they are just not very good at tipping.
  24. muttley9050
    Just hold it up with your spare hand until you have to knock compression back on?
  25. muttley9050
    Bit more than I sold mine for but everything is high at the moment and it will go on and on. Assuming you can't start it. [emoji6]Awesome machine for gravel. Not so much for sticky clay.
