    i have an 084 that i don't use. bought it to use for milling but haven't found the time. it was refurbished by spud and converted to aspen. it has one 3' bar and chain.

    any euc is a spectacular firewood and the bluegum i've burned lasted for hours on the fire gave out tons of heat and left almost no ash. as a woodturner with a stove i've burned more species than most be it exotic or native and it's at the top of my wish list for firewood if i can get it.

    it doesn't mean it's not up there beau, they just didn't include it. there are so many other hardwood species from all over the world that are not included in lists like these. don't other countries have these sorts of lists? and if they do where can i find them? i'd be interested to know calorie contents for african and south american species myself...

    not burned too many softwood species but i would have thought that yew must be high on the calorie list. would larch have more?

    yeah i've been fairly busy, i've been working on the beard for three months:lol:

    i'm interested to have it for turning but can't take too much, two pallets worth maybe. my neighbour might want some for firewood and i could ask my sister if she can take some for more firewood. pm me your details and let's see what we can do.

    the moss covered log looks like a bit of ash all day long and the second could be a bit of sycamore but i'm not so sure. is there a chance that the second one is liquidambar?

    the turning clubs will only want the top half of the tree and usually only the bits that have the branches on to make nice looking bowls. the base deserves to be milled in my opinion and at that diameter should make good timber, as long as you keep a good supply of lubricant on the saw it won't gum up that badly.

    still doing skittles too. .

    just for reference, i'm 6'3" the pole is 4" diameter and 12'6" tall. .
  11. se7enthdevil
    well i finally got the damn thing finished, it's now in hastings waiting to be used sometime over the spring or summer months. .

    chains and straps can break if they want, check this expensive one out. [ame] [/ame]

    it does take up a bit of room though stuart but the ease of changing the bin is great and you only get 1-2" of fine dust in the bag after 6-12 months. this is the extractor, Axminster Hobby Series FM300BC Extractor - Chip Extractors - Dust Extractors - Machinery | Axminster Tools & Machinery and here is the cyclone Omni LARGE Dust Cyclone workshop pre filter separation wood dust powder plastic | eBay but they are out of stock at the moment. they are also available here but are more expensive, Toolovation - clever tool merchants that cyclone was the best £150 i've ever spent... here is a bigger picture of my setup. .

    is that a bandsaw in a workshop or a bandmill?

    this is all relative in my opinion, to anyone losing weight i'd say don't lose too much as that can be just as bad. as a big fella i just don't want to go over 18st, i have a BMI of 31 according to that machine at the doctors but it doesn't take into account my physicality and i'm sure rugby players, rowers or body builders are in the same boat. i'm 17st at present and 6'3" but am broad and strong. not sure if anyone can watch this link but if it works i wonder if i count as a chunky monkey??? http://www.hudl.com/technique/video/view/KzhBsCm7?e=7487994

    let us know some specifics once you've seen it and we'll take it from there. is the tree down? can you see the heartwood? it will be very dependant on that.
  17. se7enthdevil
    i'm a one man band and can assure you that lathams will deal with anyone mate, i buy from them and it can be as little as £50 or £5000. obviously small amounts you need to pay for delivery which is £50 from memory.

    anything where outside is concerned as it is very durable. also makes excellent joinery wood. i'd love to make a table out of it. mill the lot into 1 1/4" and 2 1/4" boards and turn it into tables and chairs...
  19. se7enthdevil
    that is the dogs ging gang goolies mate, top job. :thumbup1:
  20. se7enthdevil
    it's finally over fellas....:thumbup::thumbup: it didn't go to court (couldn't be done with that) but eventually i got them to pay an agreed sum which works out at 89% of what i should have been paid. i'm happy with that as it means i'm back in the black and i'm considering this as a late birthday present which was on the 9th so can now forget about the whole damn thing...

    i thought these things were on the not wanted nasties list??? it's only a matter of time before they escape and we find out just how damaging they can be. Giant African Land Snail / Pests & Diseases / Plant Industry / Divisions & Offices / Home - Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services have i got the wrong species?
  22. se7enthdevil
    measure the heart diameter as well. it looks a bit 50/50 to my eyes but once the sap is milled off then there is at least some good colour there.
  23. se7enthdevil
    what does the bark look like??? if it's dark with tight furrows then it could be either hard maple or norway but if it has a cream tint then it's field maple. i've only ever heard of sycamore being a problem to dry and don't believe this applies to any other acer species.
  24. se7enthdevil
    assuming you are referring to our only native species of maple the field maple? i have had field maple milled and i dried it in stick the normal way and had no problem with any staining once planed up.
  25. se7enthdevil
    i hereby ban anyone from posting that bloody video...:lol: as big j says, measurements and pictures with a location and how easy or difficult access is would be great.
