  1. i would really love to steve but... i cannot afford it atm.
  2. found one! Used Thicknesser HEAVY DUTY Planer/Thicknessers in Murwillumbah, NSW Price: $18,000 <210765>
  3. where can you buy them?
  4. dont use any old friction style blocks and or cutters, even if you are paid to take them they are extremely dangerous because the cutters fall out in use
  5. the planer is a Jackson Kitchener from the states. i was speaking to a local fencer today that came across a larger planer thicknesser abandoned in the ruins of a workshop somewhere in the hills:laugh1: this sounds too good to be true!
  6. before and after planing. they will need drying so they may come back to go for a second run in 3-4 months
  7. i have a 610mm planer thicknesser so the boards are cut to its capacity. the boards are coming off the saw so clean and straight you could sand them down with little effort:001_cool: i will get some photos tomorrow, they are lovely boards!
  8. hello i have an order for elm boards at 50mm x 600mm by 3 meters (2''x24'' x10') in length with one waney edge the logs have been cut for over 4 years and the guy wants the wood planed to the finished size i have never really milled any hardwood before so what would you charge per cubic foot? thanks Graham
  9. when you start drop me a PM because its very important how the logs sit before they are split. good luck!
  10. he already has:thumbup1:
  11. heard about something similar but the blades were mounted on the crankshaft of a russian tank
  12. nikko sterling night eater 4x16x50 on a tx200 is a machine. i think the scope is the platinum version and so far no problems, had the setup 8 years now? the nikko gold crown scope the gun came with was basic and restricted the performance of the gun
  13. i think what you need is a heavy metal tank on legs that you light a fire beneath. the top side of the tank has a lid with an air tight seal that bolts down or locks safely. when the creosote is heated its viscosity decreases and expands (quite like a container of petrol left in direct sun light) and will force its way through a dry pine post, add a block of tar to the mix and you get telegraph pole quality that will last for 40+ years in theory:001_smile:
  14. why cant you pressure treat with it? there are specialist suppliers in the north with supposedly genuine products
  15. design fail, i would replace with a longer pipe that would be pushed and pulled instead of twisted, if space allows
  16. bob, dose that iveco have the rear axles turned upright with the drive hidden safe in the chassis like the urals or is it the normal layout?
  17. to be fair they have taken £250 off the asking price. saw it was on market book couple months back
  18. sorry its for milled hardwoods
  19. I have discovered Big J's kiln thread:lol: Would a permanent kiln for drying timber mainly for own use require planning permission on my croft? Is a kiln classed as a forestry diversification similar to an ag building. It would replace disused buildings with a similar foot print but slightly higher so i can get a telihandler inside, i would be surprised if any of the neighbors objected. i really cant have two insulated lorrys in the garden although they are portable? I have a polytunnel but that will destroy wood in the summer and two shipping containers will cost the best part of 3.5k for clean ones that need insulating and a concrete pad(poor drainage), im just as well building something decent. estimated size around 30' x 16' x 10' internal kiln dimensions with an apex roof to about 16' max whats planning going to say? Thanks Graham
  20. im currently running the 350 amp rated at 13.2kva on the 20kva gen and seems to be happy enough. i think these welders are designed to have a low power consumption to make them more versatile. planning to run the 500 on a 100kva. is there a way of protecting the generator from high currents, there must be generator powered welders on ships, oil rigs etc. better drop gensetsteve a pm
  21. I can see your point so had a look at the brochure and the 500 amp only requires a 28 kva and the 280 amp requires 7.2 kva power supply. i hope running the welder should be trouble free found a company called Westermans that specialize in these old beasts, but they are not open on sundays:laugh1: http://www.westermans.com/downloads/kemppi%20multisystem.pdf by inrush current do you mean instant very high load?
  22. anyone know where to get a galvanized chassis for an old Mitsubishi pajero lwb?
  23. hi, as title can you run a kemppi pss5000 with a generator with TIG on AC for aluminum and DC for stainless? i know the smaller ps3500 kemppi will run MMA no problems but never used anything else with the generator Kemppi Pss 5000 Ac Dc Tig Mig Stick 3 Phase Welder | eBay thanks
  24. give your self a blast with an air line, 10bar gets almost every last bit off even from woolly socks
  25. it took me 20 hours to cut 2 timber joists made from 8 individual timbers for a roof as they were on display from inside and the joints had to be perfect
