    Here you go, attach to your drill. Soft contour Sanders, great for bringing out highlights after burning

    Arbsafe is a great resource no doubts there. It's got me thinking though, if you get robbed and the insurance pays up for replacement, where do you stand if your original kit is returned to you? Would you have to inform insurance company/pay back some/all of payout?

    Gustharts sell them still I think mate

    Jonathan, can put a link up to their site, products please? Be interested in a small manual set up. Cheers, Si

    You could get in touch with Duncan Kitson, he's a chainsaw carver in Anglesey who has a hydraulic set up. Sure he would explain how he runs his saws.

    I just wanted to share a pic of the bench in its newly landscaped surroundings. Shouldn't be too long before the fairies move in 😉

    Well from my perspective, I run modified lo pro chain on some of my carving bars on bigger saws 026,036 and sometimes 066 I also run it on a lo pro 42" bar on the 066 when milling over 30" logs, the thinner kerf negates any obvious loss of power running a bar in excess of 36"

    Haha yes Dave, I got caught up in the fantasy. I think I might be a little girl trapped in a man's body Door furniture is for dolls houses, got them on ebay mate

    Hi Rob, I think it's worth my while trying these as I run a few saws on lopro off the standard 3/8 rims. A couple of questions, is the internal rim fitting the same on stihl 026,036,066? And as I'm not sure without looking, some are stihl drums and some are Oregon, do you have these rims to fit both types? Cheers, Si

    Latest bench for two little girls. Had a great time carving this, I even put in a remote controlled light inside the door opening

    Sweet job Rick 👍

    Hi Rick, Bought it over a year ago but only now experimenting after initially trying it out. Trees sell word of mouth, fb, and a few retail and galleries. I do our kids school Christmas fair too, donate a nice one for the raffle and keep all sales, did really well last year, hence the new styles to keep them coming back 😉

    What about getting some tungsten tipped chain? I did some work few years back on a railway bridge restoration and the firm who did the bridge construction sware by it. The timber wasn't greenheart but some tropical wood hard as stone. Only problem is it would be standard tooth profile rather than 10° milling profile.

    I don't think it's meant to be any quicker, it's purely to get a better finish on milled boards. Using standard chain for milling will leave a rippling/wash board effect on your planks which means more work planing/sanding to get a smooth surface.

    Hi Bill, burnt, sandoflexed then skimmed over background with saw to clean it up 👍

    Is it steel construction? If so would be more cumbersome and likely to ebonise oak once the paint wears off. Just guessing though, never seen one in person, can't really fault Alaskan mills personally.
  21. wisewood
    Yup 👍
  22. wisewood
    Whereabouts?
  23. wisewood
    Get as big a saw as you can warrant. I think most folk use an 880 but it really depends on what diameter you're likely to mill. Small stuff you may get away with a360 or equivalent. You may not be aware of this but you lose about six inches of bar length when attached to a mill, so your 16" bar could not pass through a log bigger than 10" But basically the bigger the saw the less tedious your experience will be. I don't have an 880 yet but can mill anything up to 3ft diameter with my 660

    You clever sod 😉, fantastic that mate

    Blends in really nicely with the surrounding trees 👍
