No you got that wrong mate, i may look like a hippy, but i just cant afford a haircut on my pitiful builders wage. As for the berlingo wish i had gone charcoal powered, but when i heard about global warming, thought solar powered was the way, how wrong was i. Im currently converting it to foot power like the flintstones. Do you know where i can get the feet from?:dontknow:

I see ya point there mate, my truck gets used to its limit moving mixers, whackers, scaffold etc + hand tools. Small jobs sand is collected and knocked up on wagon to save clearing up. But a massive difference between small builders and big development companies. To be honest I'm annoyed with modern construction. Hence the reason I'm on an arb forum not a construction one. Wood is my passion, construction pays the bills. For now anyhow.

I do like a bit of generalising, but not as much as I like laughing at all you lowly arbs with your rusty wagons and tools, got to go, off down the tailors to get a new back pocket sewn on my jeans as my wallet no longer seems to fit!

Why is it all arbs assume all builders are minted?

Good article on chainsaw milling in Living Woods mag

Looks a good article thanks for posting. -
As above looks like they may go cheapish and could be of use to someone. timberbay_sawmill | eBay James

Nice job, but I too wonder about squareness, and how easy is it to align the 3rd and 4th cuts parallel with 1 and 2. Lovely looking scotch latch there:D
-
Thanks rob,id like to order one and a precision grinder, how do i order one with the extra foot? Cant find that option. Thanks James

Thanks guys, can't look at old battery as everything electrical on it is a shambles. Will go for a 110 or 120ah battery. Will see what deals I can find.
-
Not really an arb truck, but my Bedford cf 1981 2.3 diesel has some electrical issues. First thing I want to do is put a couple of new batteries on it. Not sure what batteries are best to fit, or how to work out sizes etc. Any advice greatfully received. Thx James
-
I had to google it too!, not sure capable of either suggestion, ive banned myself from chainsaw juggling till i get my cs31 and i dont have a musical posteria. Any more genius guys?

Oh yeah, half crippled knee at moment so jumping and dancing around a no no. Think outside the box fellss. Cheers

Hey, for some reason or other I've lumbered myself a talent show to attend with compulsory participance. Done it before, was a laugh, but I'm stumped as to what to do. Could be anything, last time I made a false leg and did the Jake the peg song. Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks James

Do you have the woodchuck tools in stock, id be interested in a dual. Also when i buy a mini mill, how much guide track do you get. Thanks James

Needs milling, big js post worth following up. Get some pics up. Far to rare for firewood if its nice?
-
To the original op, sorry for the hijack. Here's a couple of pics of the haul from the days milling last week. Still a few cube of odds and sods to treat and stack.

The problem of the extra weight of quality. Think the shed on this site is probably a no no. But I am looking for the right bit of woodland to buy, a shed there would be possible, but security would always be an issue. I could park a trailered bansaw at home, but would only be outside under a tarp. Security isn't much of a problem, but I wonder how much this would shorten the life of the saw? Oh decisions.
-
I completely get everything your saying, it all makes sense. I guess big sawmills use bandsaws coz they can. There staionary, so have plenty of handling equipment, I have none. I also don't have asmuch lockable storage as id like and a bandsaw mill is gunna use some up. If your mobile milling its easier to setup on log or in woods with out other equipment. I'm not disareeing with your opinions but am questioning if a swing mill is more suited to me right now.
-
Well done mate, I take it was a sucessful start to the show season.
-
Great work mate, can we have some work in progress photos of the new job, would love to see how you achieve such a high standard.
-
Clip on slabber is only £1200 extra and will cut 5ft wide boards. But im still very undecicded. As isaid in another thread a swingmill will fit in my current lockup, a trailered bandsaw mill would not.
-
Id be interested to know why you think that a bandsaw is more versatile? I do appreciate the waste issues, and the price!! The one main advantage for me right now with a swing mill is it will fiit in my lockup, a trailered bandsaw would not.
-
You can quarter saw straight out of the log with a swing mill too, i reckon id be a fair way through the milling by the time you had yours quarter sawn. But without getting into the whats better, swing or band mill argument, there is something about swing mills that fullfill more of my manly urges than the alternative. James

I may be interested in a couple of months, i will consider this as one of my options, but a peterson is my current favourite option.
-
That's interesting clive, did s load of inch 5 year ago and they came out ok, so we will see. They are very clean boards from a straight grained tree so im hopeful. The Lucas is delinately the way forward for big butts, very tempted in a Peterson myself right now, but May hang around and see if a used one comes up.
