that's a question all by itself I will tell you the truth, not the wife. she lies I presume you mean bar length on the 090? its a 48incher just going to get it tach tuned on Friday. initially thought it was an crankcase issue of slight lumpiness, but appears incorrect carb settings.
-
Ummmm, I am thinking it might be a tad fiddly with the Alaskan though? No? in my post, I should of said benches not tables, but yes the lady wants a coffee table too!! looks like I am going to need to get that milling chain for the 090!!!!!

two weeks we had to fell this nice old oak as an insurance job. so initially I was to clear all off site, then it was decided that the customer was going to get someone in to price it to take away for milling. Long story short its still on the lawn as the guys never showed up! so the overall length is 22ft, with the straight clean trunk runs 12ft before the knotty bit starts. we headed there today to grind out the stump and it had split real bad. now when I felled it, it pinched my saw so there was obviously a lot of tension within. the lady would like me to mill it (possibly) and make some tables. to me, it looks like a lot of work for possibly not a lot of useable timber. thoughts please gentlemen simon

You must be cutting some crap old wood!! In the past 15yrs i could Probably count around 25 times ive hit thingz. Over that time span a metal detector would if been extrVagant!!!! Good luck
-
thanks but just in case some wanted the answer, I did as I thought and sanded with some fine grade wet n dry and it removed the tackiness so the ladies could rest there posterior whilst looking at the garden simon

no no that sort of tacky!!!! just finished a bench yesterday for a customers open garden this afternoon. I was hoping the Danish oil would of dried by now, but is slightly tacky to touch. whilst I've sat on it and its ok for me, how could I remove the last stickiness. I though a light sand with some wet and dry? garden opens at 2pm!! thanks, all

if it does the job you intended, who are we to judge or criticise it looks functional:thumbup1: Simon

after reading this post, and Alec`s advice on the 90, it is now converted to aspen as of today, complete with a new 48" chain and my ebay bar!

my now running 090

to save your saw when milling, do not turn your saw off until it has cooled to normal working temps, just leave idiling for a few more minutes.

don't intend to buy twice, but I wasn't looking for £400 pound tools either!!! but what Muttley has linked, is within reach. thanks, simon

As per title. max depth of timber is 2" and the hardest is likely to be Oak at that size. don't wont to spend a fortune (just bought a new camera ) what are me options ? secondly, looking for a more flexible sanding option. I have a 4" belt sander which is great for planx, but looking to sand up some bone Oak for a chair so may be intricate places, but I don't wont multiple tools if I can help it. Suggestions please? thanx, Simon

how to bring out natural colours in wood
Big Beech replied to MissAdventerous's topic in Woodcraft Forum
some work from today, an Oak table /bench just had two thin coast of boiled linseed applied. I will dowse it a few more times, then will apply some Danish oil, depending upon its final use simon

Well, finally managed to complete something that was hopefully worthwhile this weekend! this board was from the initial Burr Oak I milled. After several hours sanding, and lifting the grain and re-sanding I finally started to seal the grain, which was a relief! so have at this stage just applied some warmed boiled linseed to it. It has been bolted together with four 3" carpenters mate screws and I have seasoning above the AGA an Oak dowl split from a log in my log pile. had dressed it with a draw knife, then will see final finishing with a spoke shave. this will then be used to plug me holes in the tops. Anyway, I am well chuffed

Interesting read chaps. Always wear a standard mask but thats it. Rob and Alec, what or how should i go forward with Aspen in the 090? As its in a final put back together stage i dont want to fxxxk it up!!! Rob, the bar was for the 90. @ £64 off ebay i dont mind if it gets toooo hot!
-

-

Unused 070 or 090 do not exist or are extremely unlikely to be found outside of collectors hands. That one is an imitation chinese knockoff. There was one one on the ukbay for 900 a while back. Avoid at ALL cost!!!!
