Pics to come tomorrow.
-
Ok I collected it yesterday. Looks like a nice brown oak but unfortunately it is infested with pin hole borer so it maybe firewood yet. Will play around with it later in the week and get some pictures up. It may be a rather large log for firewood pile. does pin hole borer reduces strength significantly. Might just rip it up into fencing material if the infestation is too bad?

I spray boards with borax if there nice and susceptible to insect attack. But I rarely spray anything on oak as only the sapwood is really at risk and i don't want that anyway.

Tickets bought. How do i find the raffle forum? -
Just bolt it to a longer bit if wood and clamp that. Just don't hit the bolts
-
That's a good price Johnathon

Heard on the radio the other day that since the bag tax tesco issues 80% less bags. Got to be a good thing. I always take the time to visit my butcher as his meat is miles better than any supermarket and his £ 1 hot sausage rolls are off the charts.

Anyone ever seen a grown man cry?

You can get gadgets to locate trackers so where ever they are they will be found and removed. -
4k for spares or repairs. He's nuts

Nice video and lovely workshop. Is that just standard polystyrene your plunge cutting on?
-
Location and pics of tree would help. I may be interested as would others ,depending on quality and location. If it's a decent saw log you may get £100-150 for it so it wouldn't cover removal. Rot in ash can be terminal though.

I'd use oak as I prefer the end grain.
-
Ok. This is the only pic I have. Somebody emailed me saying is it worth milling them and can I quote. They described them as hardwood logs. This is all I know. If it is oak then there is a lot of sapwood. I have asked him for more info. Thanks for trying anyhow.

My other vehicle is a 4x4 Or James betteress construction and timber services.

Cam someone give me a second opinion on what these butts are. Thanks.

Any reason not to mill Ash that has been down a while?
muttley9050 replied to Ghettoblaster's topic in Milling Forum
Ash can go over quite quickly when down but 18 months should be Ok. I'd evaluate each log individually for signs of decay before I commited. -
Isn't it funny that you don't even have to check the names of the trolls. You already know who they are. This site doesn't need them. The desperate position of these people is not of there own making. They are running from despots, civil war and foreign planes bombing there houses. Grow up some of you.

Impressive videos on the link
-
They look interesting . Do they seal to the eyes. How much is vision reduced?

I've had to fit those slates before. Proper nightmare and stupidly heavy.
-
What is going on there
-
Natananko 330 for me. Never gets bogged down in the cut.
-
I agree with most of that but slates are definitely not tapered.
-
Ok. It's mine. I will collect it at the end of next week and get some pics up for you all. Think I will dimension cut the top and bottom and get some nice slabs of the middle. Be a good chance to tune up the lucas slabber which I've been reading up a lot on. The last time I used it on a 5 ft beech at 4 m long the chain was diving in the cut a little. The far end was 6mm thicker than the near end. Keen to get it setup perfectly.

I was concerned drying process would of created shake around the centre. Bet it hasn't dried much though. Think I will collect it and see how I get on. Don't know about bats sorry. Felling contract had nothing to do with me. Cheers for advice
