  1. 2 giant mog loads of chip now delivered. Thanks Jeremy Arbwork
  2. Do you honestly sell one tonne of hardwood logs for £35 including delivery. That's nuts.i can't buy cord for that.
  3. Had this problem with an 051 and i was advised to check all screws in the recoil casing were present and tight. I already new they weren't as I thread was bad. I fitted an insert In the thread and the recoil wa much better.
  4. To get it tipped you will need the tip specs and any decent saw doctor can do it. It's often easier to keep tips for these specialist saws as doctors are unlikely to stock them. If you tell me where your based I might be able to help. What's the max width and length of cut on the mill and what's the asking prce.
  5. Have you got tips for it. Does the saw come with a grinder for sharpening. Where are you based? Much better off learning to do it yourself Imo. I can help if you answer above questions.

  8. If you haven't sold it give me a pm and ill buy it off you.
  9. Nice tree. Better left standing but I'd buy it if I was closer.
  10. Nice boards. The larch looks to be exceptional quality. Look forward to seeing the finished result. Will be starting milling for a green oak frame on Friday so looking forward to that too.
  11. 8 dollars a board foot is roughly £6 for 1 12th of a cubic foot so a cubic foot is about £72 in Brooklyn. I wouldn't have expected to pay much more than that here. Maybe £80-90.
  12. Hopefully it's will be mine and e will be enough to keep the job going. .
  13. Ok. Went yesterday for a 4 hour drive to look at a parcel of oak as i didn't trust the seller new what a saw log was. Glad i did as the pile was 85% firewood. I'm getting pretty desperate for some oak right now. Small parcels and single trees are fine. I need around 6 tonne of minimum 4.2m to build some trusses. I will need alot more but not as urgently. Please let me know what you have or if you have one coming down. Many thanks James
  14. Bump. Still needed.
  15. We have the betting on our log shed and it seems to work well. Keeps all but the worst driving rain out.
  16. Thanks. I have 3 051s I use for occasional cross cutting of big stuff . I have a 30" bar for them. Just wondering if you run it on anything bigger.
  17. Carbide tips on this one screw on.
  18. I'm hoping i wont need another one ever. Carbide tips are replaceable so short I'd catastrophe it should be good. I was tempted to try and find a friendly Australian to send me one as I bet they don't cost anywhere near that much over there.
  19. So here's what I've been waiting for the last few months. The planer kit fir the lucas mill. It has to be the most ridiculously priced lump of metal i have ever bought, but it does allow me to plane and thickness boards that are 1.8m wide and 6m long. Cost £1050. And to top off being voluntarily ripped off, i went to assemble it and the bottle of loctite is empty. Not dried up, never had any in it ever. Still,moans over i have some, lovely wide boards that i will be planing up soon and i will report back when I've done it.
  20. Nice one Clive. What do you ask for one of them?
  21. What's the biggest bar you run on your 051 and How does it pull. Thanks
  22. Need to tip some blades now as I only have one left so I will make a video and create a youtube account. I'm no David bailey though. I have just bought some different teeth and am going to try a different method of braising so we will see how that goes. I did make my own jig yes. I will get some shots of that in the video. Will probably be next weekend before I get a chance though.
  23. Cut lots of dimensions. The big stic was lovely and clean so we cut that into mostly 1 1/4 and some 2"boards. Some of the other bits weren't so good so they became 4x4 and 8x4 sleepers for a garden project. Wrecked 2 blades that day hitting metal so 10 teeth to replace. I re tip the blades myself so not too bad. I give the customer one free blade and charge £7 a tooth after that.
  24. Only this one from early on. The pile obviously grew alot bigger than This.
