  1. Forgot to say, you'd need to grind the heels of the cutters back so they don't hamper bore cutting. The smaller tip radius kicks the heels out. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Unless you change your sprocket to run carving chain you'd have to get a quarter tip carving bar to run 3\8 lo pro. Depending on which make of bar you'd be looking at min. cost about £ 80 with a loop of chain. Cannon or sugi probably £100 with chain. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Hi Jon, Min 36" diameter, up to 42" ish:-) and min 8ft. I'm after something with a root plate ideally mate. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

  5. Sorry, cleared in box now Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Davetaz, rough dimensions to be 36 to 42" diameter and min length of 8ft. Alec, cheers Rover has messaged me over that mate. Fagus, toxteth,stubby, 😂 Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. I've been commissioned to carve another hollow tree house but the customer wants gnarly branch features off the trunk. I was thinking of utilizing a windblown and up ending it so the root plate forms the branches. Only problem is I don't have one. If you are around north west area and have something suitable please let me know. Cheers, Si Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. That sounds like a more accurate test Rob, personally I just want to know how it compares with my current set up on a 36" If I can get this current job finished I will hopefully get a spare day next week to experiment :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. I've just got one of the GB 42" bars off Rob to run on my 066. Should give me around 36" clearance on the mill. I've not had a chance yet to mill with it but I want to do a time trial between 42" lo pro and a 36" standard 3/8 I have had a quick trial with it off the mill and found it was very grabby. It ran like it had another 20cc. I expect it will behave better in the mill. Wouldn't like to hit a nail with though! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. Just a little update on this, I finally went with trestles and scaff boards. Two rows of three trestles, four 10ft boards wide each running down each side of the tree and then five or six boards spanning across the front. Works well and easy to dismantle and re erect as you go. I'll put some pics up again once I'm done. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. That's great! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. I've been looking at getting a 3120 but it seems husqvarna only do solid nosed bars as standard. Not just still who are behind the times. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Great job, ease back into it bud. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. Cowabunga! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. Been doing a few of these in the lead up to Halloween. I might do some hollow ones next for either lighting or candles. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. Looks good mate but I suspect cost of wood and haulage to me would prove too costly. What sort of weight is it? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Puts some pics up mate Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Yes Gus, maximum span for 38mm boards its 1.37 m 50mm boards up to 2.44 Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Yes, I did the sheep and her lamb that looks like a piglet:-) I've got some pics but half of them have a blurry spot from a rain drop. I thought it was on my specs not the lense doh! It was a tough day, I'm still aching but good fun and great company. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. I've got the triton one, pretty good but yes I clipped the metal once. I'd like to adapt the legs so that you can tilt it or back or forwards a little. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Thanks everyone :-) See you next week Dave Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. Thanks Ray :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. First bench done for a local sculpture trail, telling the story of what the first farmers had to do to create farm land on the coast. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. No worries, just have a go mate. Not sure on the APF yet, I'm on the reserve list but I may head down anyway. One of the best ways to learn is by watching them at these events, YouTube is pretty helpful too. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. Cool, love the tail fin:-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app
