The picture would be much appreciated! I think I'm going to chisel the whole inside out because I enjoy it lol Just depends on how big the box is I guess. I want it fairly large I guess. I might make it out of ailanthus because I like the grain alot. Just have to check the moisture to check its dry!
-
Oh I didn't know it had any use. We have lots of dry stuff all shapes and sizes. Pictures to follow this evening
-
According to old Chinese herbal treatments ailanthus (tree of heaven) can cure baldness. But is it good for anything else? Discuss
-
Lovely advice much appreciated Think we have some nice sycamore around. Can anyone tell me if ailanthus is good for anything?
-
Thanks for the advice mate. I have bits big enough I was thinking about even making a chest out of some really dry wood. What wood would be best?

Hey Thinking of starting a new project while something else I'm doing is drying out. The other half has a lot of watches ring etc so I'm going to make a box to put them in. Probably only made out of lime or something. I'm going to chainsaw a cube out of the wood and use my little pocket planner (which I love) to create the desired effect. Then cut off the lid and then chisel out the middle to create the box. I want the box to look rough, not badly made but like its been done with a draw knife is anyone knows the effect I mean? Any tips before I start my project? Thanks

Yeah real story there, unfortunately he only started his business this year, work was just picking up and boom, gone.

This is actually a friend of myn, he was up a 80ft oak finishing a reduction when his rope became tangled on a branch. He sent his apprentice lad to go get his climbing kit to climb up and release his rope. The boy runs back and says "The fu***ng vans gone!"

Already seasoned wood?
-
Brilliant thanks mate
-
Hey I have some cut wood that I'm going to make into chopping boards and some disks for coasters. I have a belt sander that I've been using to sand some bigger wood but how do I sand smaller pieces without them flying all over the shop? Without a vice.
-
So much more to wood work than I thought
-
Good idea maybe I will do that lol I was under the impression that a butchers block was a solid block of wood
-
Brilliant, very helpful thank you. I have some very nice seasoned ash in the yard, what do you think on a butchers block?
-
hello mate nice to meet you! I will buy a bar and chain as well as the mill if I do get one I think so you suggest a 30" one. I will probably not buy a grinder straight away and use my extreme sharpening eye
-
£40 in October. Sold if I can
-
Some nice serving boards I think
-
Thanks Simon appreciate the advice I'm going to be casual doing it so slow progress is no problem how do you keep your chain sharp?
-
Maybe one Friday we can sort out half a day and you can plank up to your hearts content and so can I free wood is always great right?
-
Awesome thanks guys

Hey Rob, Been told your the man to talk to in regards to milling. Looking to buy one of your 24" Alaskan mills I have several 064s I can use to power it and I have bars but I would need a ripping chain. How much am I looking at? I don't want to spend fortunes (other half might kill me)
-
Will probably just buy the ripping chain as it will probably be easier! I do have four 064s now so I could also do that! Well I live in Brentwood, but the yard is in Greenwich, south london. LONG story but I would obviously be willing to give you wood for a go but greenwich is about 40 minutes away!
-
Very very skilled mate, beautiful box there
-
The 24" Alaskan mill looks good but it's absolutely vital I buy the bar and chain aswell?
-
What do you plan on doing to those disks?? I would love to make a butchers block with some ash
