  1. Hi the 3 denotes 3/8 pitch and I think the P is for picco, so should be 3/8 picco/ lowpro.
  2. That is very nice! I'm needing to make something to store wood in and may be even work in in bad weather. That would great for me if I could get permission to go that big. What would that cost in materials ?
  3. Yes that's the one, thanks for the clarification I guess he doesn't come across that many nails.
  4. If it's a new chain you could try and get someone to break the chain and replace the busted ones.
  5. Recently seen this chain in person, the guy using it is a wooden bridge engineer/builder. He really rates it as he is always cutting very dense tropical hardwoods. The main sections on the site I was on were from a wood called "ecki" not sure on spelling. He said normal chain will blunt in minutes, as said earlier they can be sharpened with the green grit wheels. He's hit the odd nail and lost a couple of cutters but just had them removed and replaced instead of buying a new loop.
  6. Lovely job, can we see a bigger picture please?
  7. Hi Macpherson, it's oak and 2.5M long Thanks, Si
  8. Oak otter bench/ sculpture/ climbey on thing for kids. This is the other one for a picnic site at the Crook O'Lune, Lancaster.
  9. Thanks Dee for your praises, no offence taken by me or Kim I would guess
  10. Thanks for the comments, nearly finished the second one. Kim you might be right mate, I've yet to carve a badger.
  11. Cool, I'll have to get a 150 now. Is there an end to this spending?
  12. True but then I'd lose the added option of running .325 Toonie or quarter tip that is the question. Answers on a postcard
  13. I'll have them trees down in no time, lickity split!
  14. Looking mean fella, I still love your pheasants and no that's not a euphamism:sneaky2:
  15. Rob, would it be worth you getting any shorter toonie bars? I'd prefer to run a 16" on an 026 I think rather than an 18"
  16. There's loads I'm sure mate, plenty of talented folk on here:thumbup1: Might be worth posting on the milling, woodworking and carving forums. I'm up for it if you want to consider me for the challenge. Cheers, Si
  17. Thanks for explaining that, think I've got it now Is there a contemporary hoppus pricing guide for species of woods?
  18. Can you elaborate please? My head is not working tonight. Can you give us an example of working this out on a hypothetical log please?
  19. Finished this one today, bring on the next:001_smile:
  20. Looks nice that Russell, hope you haven't split all of it
  21. If you need a lift milling next week, let me know as I'm not back into the gardens full time yet, so more then happy to help if you need it. Thanks Russ, but I'm carving in Lancaster for the next couple of weeks mate.
  22. Thanks folks, some interesting reading to be done. The elbow has improved greatly so far:001_smile: Done a bit of work but not picked up a saw yet. the compression elastic sleeve has made a big difference. I'm rubbing in anti inflammatory gel even though there's no swelling but the ganglion has sunk back and is no way near as sore to prod:laugh1: You've put me off the cortisone route, so exercise and painful massage is my new pastime, as is pain killers and whiskey!
