I reckon most of you guys over spec your decking support. Average rule of thumb is A joist needs to be 1" per 2 foot of span plus 1". So 10 ft span needs 6x2 joists. 20 ft span needs 6x2 plus 1 support purlin mid span. So decking which comes 20 ft or 6m from wall I would use 6x2 joist with a 4 X2 wall plate fixed to wall, support mid span either post or purlin and wall or support at far end. 18 or 20mm boards need 400 centres and 22 abd 25mm boards need 600 centres. Build quite a lot 8m diameter round yurt floors for school classrooms (not decking but ply and carpet or hardwood) and domestic decks. 8m yurt floors I use 6x2 purlins at 2m centres with supports every 3m max with 4 x 2 as top joists. Could use bigger purlins and loose mid supports but this brings it off the ground too high.

I may be interested and also in the cedar depending on size. Will consider an offer and pm you. Hard to offer on walnut without seeing an end grain cut at the root plate though. -
I just offered 1.50 so reckon I've pinched ut from you all. Suckers
-
What size log do you need?
-
Looks good but seems like a lot of posts to me. How far apart are they?
-
I'll put a link up for you later when I'm near my laptop.
-
Are you asking how much you should pay or how much you could sell it for.? What is it sat on top of it?

Spuds/apples etc are easy. Used to make the chamber from 110mm pipe and the barrel from 40mm. Nice and long. Sharpen the end of the barrel and just push the spud onto it like a kids toy spud gun. Use a stick to shove it down. And fire. Spud nicely lubes the barrel on the way in.

Made several of these over the years but usually run them on hairspray.

Nice work mark. -
I have a few 051s that I use with a 24" mill and a 30" bar. Pulls lovely in a 22 "oak although I never use it as it's hard work Compared to my lucas mill.

Saw this one today and it reminded me of this thread.

Looks like a 2 or max 3 tonne load to me. Don't think it's worth me driving there for the leftovers. If you want it mate you take it but if you don't let me know and I'll pop down for it.
-
I'll meet you there with my pistol, can you make it for dawn?
-
That would land you in court for unfair dismissal!
-
Well explained. Of course being a tonne bag it's easier to work out how much it weighs compared to the volume it holds!
-
If ncs doesn't want it I will come and grab it tomorrow. I'll pm you my number. Cheers
-
Is it millable or firewood?
-
I wish I was heavily reliant on a salary of 190ķ. At the moment on heavily reliant on whatever I can earn on a self employed basis.
-
Rob you are a legend. That bar is just what the doctor ordered. Hope you weren't cutting with it when it snapped though. What do you want in exchange for it. Cheers
-
Definitely would like it mate. Cheers
-
I might be interested. What do you think the weight is of the millable section? Is it wellingtonia or coastal? Cheers
-
Couldn't you just use a hole saw abd drill through. If you wanted the back sealed you could glue a plug in.
-
So from what i can gather ,27rx is 5 skip or hyper skip. 27ax is skip tooth version. Does anyone know if this might be what lucas call 3 skip?
-
Cheers. There is an obscene amo on unt of adjustment available the lucas slabber so don't know that tension will be an issue. I did read of someone using a standard granberg ripping chain on a lucas slabber and apparently it nearly ripped the carriage out of the side of the mill. The last loop I bought off lucas I seem to remember costing about £230 so there is some scope to experiment. Don't fancy a 190 link chain snapping on me though.
