Tree felling gone wrong !! Tree hits feller. Uh-oh
muttley9050 replied to hazzygawa's topic in General chat
That video really surprised me, never saw that coming, the video angle made the rope look really short, and a glitch in the video made it look like the truck was blocked by a fence. I guess some people do things 100% right and just get unlucky. -
With linseed oil I can never get a satisfactory long lasting finish in less than 6 or 7 coats. With poly x or uv protection oil, the same is achieved in 3 coats. Saving you time and oil.

Where can you get a grant to lay a hedge, and whos eligible? Also on a newly planted hedge, how many years would you wait to lay it, got a fair bit if 8 year planted mixed hedge dog rose etc. That I figured was too young but getting quite tall, what should I do with it? Cut, lay or leave. Thanks James Sorry to continue hijack

I'm not a carver but in my experience, ash with the pith left in will always split.

When I was in Cambodia years ago. We went to a scary firing range ran by pissed up military. You could shoot pretty much any weapon u liked, including bazookas. They told me someone bought a cow along once and blew it up, maybe true, maybe not, but reckon it should keep your crowd interested.

It will be fine mate, better than the landfill,but have a look through em as decent ones will make £1 each easy.

Works out cheaper in the long run!

Well said pat, its surprising what you need and what's just getting sucked in by consumerism!

+2 for osmo poly x, uv protection oil is good too, but I prefer poly x

I do a bit of smoking, use the planings from my thicknesser, which I dampen a little, always use oak or apple. Apple is better.

Pretty sure its Paul hc's mill, sent a pm to ask but he hasn't got back yet.

My saw did it when the bolts on the cover were a bit loose.

Yes mate the house is there still. Went to a auction last sat of furniture maker retirement. They were giving the stuff away, stocked up on pippy oak , yew ash and a pallet of oak burr, average price was about £5 cu/ft. Wish I had more storage. No cedar though, that would have been nice.

Doesn't sound very free to me!

Why do you care that much what firewood you burn, we regularly burn apple and hornbeam and its just another log on the fire.

Live in winslow near Milton keynes. I might take you up on that offer. Flat out for next few weeks, but will drop you a pm at some point soon. I'm trained in site carpentry, first and second fix, but anything more is self taught. The bench and table you made I could make to the same standard, and is my kinda style. but I lack the finesse for the sideboard. Some tuition would help there, but im undecided if I want to make that style of stuff. Saying that I love the craftsmanship, just not the classic style. I do crave knowledge in all things wooden, living or dead.

A hammer should work! But does it matter for firewood?
-
Im thinking about doing a course myself, how much did it actually teach you, or is it just about the quals?
-
It's for a remote receiver for hands free operation. Or is it for an auxiliary engine to make it as good as a stihl.
-
It needs to be used, not left to rot! Hopefully someone will collect it.

Who you calling pastie!. Picture was taken in June a couple of years ago. Probably not a situation that you arb types suffer with, but that year having worked outside all winter, my summer job was 100% inside. Only time I saw the sun was when I took a trip to the bushes for relief. Unfortunately the same this year. Should finish my current inside job in early august, ready for the winter outside. Better hope this hot spell holds out for me. Still I only work 3 days a week now so its not too bad this year.

I've got two lime butts, what would be the favourite dimensions to mill for the carving market?
-
What do you want lime for, not great for milling is it? Do you sell it?
-
Loving the leaf bench! Any chance of a pic from the back?
-
What do you sell your cedar for big j?
