  1. I'm after some trees to cut cladding at the moment. These might fit the bill. What's the asking price?
  2. I'm near Mitton Keynes and may be interested in buying the trunk. Providing I can get my trailer near it for loading.What sort of price do you want for it? What sort of diameter is it?
  3. Yeah that sort of acsess! Trouble then is getting the wood out. [emoji51]
  4. I only have a 24" granberg. Anything bigger gets the lucas on it. I do have a an old 40"? stihl alasksn mill but the tree would have to be really bad access for me to get that out.
  5. Call me to arrange access 07760263686
  6. So long story but not been on here much lately. Family issues etc but mostly good now. Not been doing loads of Milling either but have converted a van into a camper using wood ive milled. Anyway getting back into Milling lately professionally and as a hobby and also getting back into arbtalk. So leafs off talk of panther miles on here lately. Ate they better than the granberg alaskans. Advantages, disadvantages? Think I'll stick with the lucas for big slabs though rather than swinging a massive bar around like above.
  7. Beautiful
  8. Hope it's better than it looks. Keep the pictures coming.
  9. Did this go? not far from me.
  10. If you still need some mark I've got seasoned at that length but it's only 200mm wide. Think I still have few lengths of it. Here's a picture of it. That I turned into 9mm t and g cladding for my camper van roof
  11. I'm interested if it's still available. James 07760263686
  12. Any dimensions in this please?
  13. Escort van doesn't count as car derived mate. Just named after the car but doesn't use the same Chasis etc. Car derived vans are more like the Astra and fiesta vans which look almost exactly the same as the car version without the back seat.
  14. Anybody got a good recommendation of a resin brand to use. Always struggled with air bubbles when I have dabbled with small bits in the past.
  15. A friend has an inside tree that be currently has in a wooden square pot. 4ft square by 2ft deep. He wants rid of the tree but wants to keep the pot. I want to take the tree and hsve been looking at pots available. Is there a rule of thumb about how big the pot should be compared to height or crown spread. The tree is about 10ft tall. If anyone could give me a guess on species it would be great too, we think some kind of fig. I have attatched a picture where you can just about see the pot it is in. Thanks for looking.
  16. Not beech. Something tropical is my guess. Seventh Devil will healing to give his opinion on sure.v
  17. Ryobi are a lot better than they used to be. Not as good as makita. My friend runs a old style hardware shop and he sells ryobi. He has one of a lot of the tools. Over the last two years I have been helping him one or two days a week with a barn conversion. I've had my makita stuff out and him his ryobi. Makita wins on impact power drilling speed etc. But ryobi passes. He has 3 ryobi battery chainsaws and the key is putting a really big battery in them, then they cut well and reasonably silently. Slower than petrol but inside they are ace and outside for little bits they are easy.
  18. Speak to a planning consultant. Let him deal with all future correspondence. Don't get back to them until they get back to you. If they get back to you they will likely give you a short time frame to deal with so best to organise now. If other people have sheds, you are not in a conservation area or an aonb then definitely don't apply for planning.
  19. I would go 5 or 6 mm
  20. No point in asking you the point your making as it's the same point you've made in every post.
  21. You need to make a gasket out of nitrile rubber. Things like Petropatch work as well but not that suitable for gaskets. Nitrile rubber is available in small sheets on ebay for a couple of quid.
  22. How much land will the birds have access to?
  23. How much land will the birds have access to?
  24. J. Your mill is a beast. But its largely immobile/illegal to tow. I nearly always mill mobile unless a local wants something small doing. I usually turn up somewhere in a back garden, woodland or muddy field and cut one to five logs. Cost of extraction and delivery to a mill and haulage back, would well outweigh the savings in sawdust on these logs.
  25. You can indeeed.i have a double ended 3.5ft mill on two stihl 051s. It cuts as fast as the lucas. 3 weeks or so ago I did two days straight cutting 2 and 3 " beech slabs. 10 to 16 ft long and 3 to 4 ft wide. When I was finished I felt great. A day in the Alaskan and I feel like I've had a day on the Alaskan.
