Hi Mark . To post a link just copy and paste the url (Web address) into the post. Cheers

Looks alright for 1k. Pretty the sure the picture of plank is some old slightly twisted seasoned plank thar he's put on the mill for demo. None of the timber around the mill looks freshly milled to me and there is no sawdust to be seen.

Certainly is a lot of money. I just use a file in a guide and a granberg precision grinder if there bad. The only advantage of this I can see is it might make it easier to sharpen my lucas slabbing chain while still on the mill.

We have some end grain cobbles here around 100 years old very worn and half of them replaced with brick where they are worn but still stunning. Think the cutting and laying of them may be a little time consuming for this job. I was thinking along the lines of a deck , problem is the design keeps changing in his head. We may vend up Beith some walls yet. The customer is becoming a friend. A firewood dealer who i have done probably 10 days milling for in the past. Sleepers mostly for sale and to landscape his garden of the house he's building. Managed to cut 78 8x4 4m sleepers in one of the days. Was pretty chuffed with that. Thankfully it's all on day rate and he will be helping so price doesn't really matter. We're going to sit down. Over a beer one evening soon and get the design down and cutting list made. Just thought I'd check if anybody had any tricks id missed for green oak flooring. Alec do you see a problem laying the boards with a 1 or 2 mm gap so that as they shrink you would end up with a sensible 5mm gap an then it would just need some extra screws putting in when dry. I'll be milling with a lucas so no problem taking the beams and quarter sawing the boards out of the whole log. Cheers

Ok I'm doing a job for a guy who has a few nice oak butts. The job is mill them up and build a smallish open sided garden building out of the green oak. basically a social building fir bbq etc. He sprung it on me today that he wants to put an oak floor in too. He has enough butts. But we haven't milled any of it yet. Buildings the structure is fine. So my question is if you had to put a rustic floor in out green oak, do you think it's at all possible and how would you go about it. I have explained that it's a no no but he seems keen to try. Cheers James

Oh dear

Hi. I have a job in a couple of months time that will require an 8 wheeler load of decent quality oak saw logs, although I would happily take an artic if preferred. I'm based near Milton Keynes so the closer to there the better. I can sort my own transport or uou can include it in your price. If you can help please get back to me with price and availability. Cheers James

I had one some years ago. Took me about 4 weeks till back to work and 8 weeks till I forgot about it. Light duties Ok after about 2 weeks. But none of them in my job.

Well it said on the radio today that over the weekend country file had the most ratings. 8.5 million compared to second place War and peace at 4.5million. So not everyone agrees. I Think it's more popular with the townys.

I've got 3 working 051s that all run lovely. Can't believe someone would pay £100 for a non runner though. What do you think a good runner us worth?

This is what I use although wikabor is good to. Cheaper if you buy powder though can mix with water yourself. http://www.boron.org.uk/Boron_shop.htm

Some nice spalted beech. Too good for firewood.

Nice bench. There's shops near me that would sell it for that price but pretty sure I couldn't. Where you based gobby and what Co op

Thanks guys. Think my dad's going to go see a demo. Will put my thoughts up if they end up buying it.

Hi. My folks asked me what I thought about this chipper so thought I'd ask you guys. Purely domestic use up to 50m max and largely just garden odds and sods off their land where they can use the chip. Opinions or better options welcome. Cheers 15 HP Electric Start Petrol Garden Chipper

As Alec says brilliant for bench legs inside. Rubbish for bench legs outside. Definitely worth protecting from insect attack though.

J b weld not suitable for fuel tanks but petro patch is.

Got the saw running pretty good now. Thanks all who helped. Ringed one ash log with it to tune the h screw and a few times the idol seemed high but then after a few seconds it drops again. Just got to decide what to do with it now. I don't climb so don't need a topper. It probably owes me about £ 100 . Don't know what it's worth. But it will be sat in the workshop for now. Thanks all

Do you do this with chain brake on or does it have to be off. Chees

Yes definitely a walbro. No limiters on screws now. Doesn't mean there never was. Found settings fir what I think is the same carb on a rc boat forum so will try them later.

Thanks. Just had a play and pretty sure problem is carb settings. My carb doesn't match any in the service manual .The carb I have is wt 319. 622b Both screws were only 3/4 turn out. I've had a play and can get it running better but either with a really fast low idol or low revved ropey sounding top end. Think I will watch a few videos on carb tuning and try again later. Advice appreciated. James

48" alaskan £320 this one £85.

Please can we get a review when it arrives. Cheers

Interesting. Never considered tanka before. It's a similar price point to the echo, do you think it's the better option? Do you offer full spares support for it. Thanks
