try milling some old beams from ebay.

this one always moves me to tears, i think even more so now that my own father is gone. [ame] [/ame]

very powerful...

due to another thread i've decided to see what others consider a moving or touching song. here is my first. [ame] [/ame] please add any video of a song that you would put in this field. it can also be a relaxing song that is just really good too. .

after listening to harry chapin's original version a few times i'm starting to change my mind about my favorite version. [ame] [/ame]

why don't you want oak then??? should last nearly as long as robinia.

what's an ostrich doing in norfolk???

i might know someone who can supply square ekki posts. he is selling 8' oak 3x3" posts for £8 i'll see what sizes he's got...
-
looks like a car seat to me...

firstly you mill it into boards of varying thicknesses then you can either cut bowl blanks from them and seal the edges or you can leave as boards and cut blanks once dry. as a turner i like thick stuff so 4-6" but you can easily cut 2-3" too.
-
look at my first post on page one. you can see how i do it.
-
yep, it's a great song and that was a good version but prefer ugly kid joes.
-
ok, thats basicly what i was going to point out but bobh has stopped me needing to. there are many ways to turn dan but there are some basic principal that we all stick to. i don't have a camera to film how i turn a bowl but peruse youtube and you should find plenty.

if they are green wood then i would have said no more than £20ft3. put on a premium for a wide board and another because it's elm and say £40-50ft3. i would not expect to pay more than £200.
-
not heard of many people using sweet chestnut as it can mark fairly easily. i would suggest something a bit harder. elm, oak, ash, beech, maple, robinia, hornbeam and cherry are all good flooring woods.
-
why not make fence posts from something that shouldn't rot... robinia, greenheart and ekki will last a lifetime...

Young sycamore with rough bark?
se7enthdevil replied to Island Lescure's topic in Tree Identification pictures
i'd leave it a couple of weeks so we can see what a leaf looks like. there are lots of maples that have rough barks so it may be an odd one. -
formulae for selecting the length of a nail?...
se7enthdevil replied to SteveA's topic in General chat
during my apprenticeship days i was told to think in thirds. the plank you are nailing should be one third and two thirds goes into the wall. 65mm or 2 1/2" should just about do it though i reckon. -
ahah, the woodworm screw... that makes more sense now, as has been suggested try taking lighter cuts for softer woods and try different sizes for different woods but i find the best way is to measure the shaft of the screw between the thread. oh and you have heard of 6.35mm drill bits. they are called 1/4":biggrin:
-
perhaps i misunderstood you? to what are you referring to with the sizes?
-
you can't cover up stupidity, if you could we'd all appear intelligent.
-
not got one myself but it's probably a 1/4" required. equates to 6.35mm, as you've found out 6 is too small and 7 is still roomy.
-
as far as i am aware the reason they are upended is simply down to a staining where the sticker is when stacked that penetrates deep in to the board rendering them unusable for decorative purposes... if they are straight then they should not warp that much but you can stack them if you keep an eye on them and i read somewhere of a company using plastic stickers rather than wood. i do not know if the sticker staining happens only with KD timber or if air drying gives the same result but from memory the plastic was to be used in the kiln. i have a few old books i've bought on the bay and will leaf through them to see if i can find anything relating to this subject.

sizes and pics would help
