Think he is wanting bit more!! Ideally wanting to know what kind of treatment to apply mick. If he aint careful he might just get some cuprinol fence spray in green on there!!
-
OK guys need some input here!! Have painted / treated the summer house wood work and now boss is unhappy that the shingles are looking tired ! What can I treat them with? They are over a inner ply board roof structure. They are not leaking just grey, weatherd and too me look great! But boss says otherwise!!!

One of our old customers had a old style but new barn extension and they used elm boards, however I recalled they where French import. If I recall, you had to pre drill holes before nailing, otherwise splits like a bitch !!! Will try and get over next week for that beech, surprised it warped under the weight of Oak in the kiln!!! Hopefully salvageable

Yes as mentioned, get the HD filter kit.

Looks a bit burry too, worth a shot once the dirt isoff!

The biggest wych elm in these parts ain't be know where near that size. 25ft and 24" tops, mind you it was 22 yrs ago I last saw the tree in a field !
-
As far as I can recall, wych elm don't grow that big!!

Many millers prefer the older saws with the low down torque. If getting an 880 I would drop a sprocket size, speed ain't everything! Here in action by 070 on a 900mm beech. I save the 090 for bigger trees

You won't get any colour until its sanded quite heavily as it looks like its been bleached from the sun for some time? Until you do that, keep thinking about its final use.

Newbie: Is it OK to drill through replaceble nose?

Sounds like a dust allergy that some timbers cause, much like Oak causes rhinitis.

Have found out that the gazebo is constructed of redwood. Currently looking dull and flat. What oils should make it look better and reinvigorate the look of the wood?

High maintenance days are gone mate, had to sell the Caterham, couldn't get much chip in the back

You never paid me that much, and more useful by a good margin than Kevin

Need to tart up some cedar shingles for a client on there summer out house dining area. Currently just looking tired with a little lichen growing on them but unsure if need treating with anything? They look fine to me, but I know they will want them doing I also have some seating to run down and re oil. Suggestions please:001_smile:

Given as you say cutting beams, why on earth are using a 50" bar. Not surprising the wash board finish as the chain must be slapping up and down!! Unless of course your cutting 50" square
-
They are not as fast, but they where not manufactured for that. They eat torque for lunch when running 60"+ bars when the 880's just give up. How many 088 have you seen in the rain forest? I rest my case. An 090/070 run 7 tooth sprockets but can be upgraded to 8 or even 9's if your in it for speed. There where several on arborsite used as hot saws!! Bit ambitious at 900 as one sold other day for 450. Bargain. Should of bought it really.
-
That it has stubby, not in that video but in the other, I cut a full bar width slab off going down the grain on a 50" oak and lifting the rear handle with both hands and giving it some "serious grief" and she kept on pulling like a landrover

Some big butt porn for you Jon

Looks like white rot in there too, fire wood!!

I loved my 023, my wife did her cs tickets with it. Gr8 chipper saw too. Until some local a$$ cleared me out of all my kit
-
The last two trees of 36" in have done, oak and beech and 7ft long where all around that 11 minute mark. The beech I milled two years ago was also 11 minute ish.

Nice mate!

I milled some 3ft beech The other week and I used my 070. I would not of wanted to cut it with anything smaller ie a 660. More poke the better. It was hard going!! The other week I did some 42" oak and dragged out the 090 and again I wouldn't of wanted for anything smaller. I do recall a member having issues with his 880 with the bearings melting and I went along and finished off for him Get the biggest saw available if 3ft will be a regular occurrence
