  1. Good thread. I'm just using a Black n Decker workmate at the moment and it's a bit small to be classed as a bench! Are you thinking roundwood legs, and what wood are you using? Cheers, Steve
  2. Sounds like they would do well to advertise on Arbtalk. Cheers, Steve
  3. Was about to say, "that looks amazing!" and now it's gone, and now I feel But, Thanks for sharing. Would love to have a tree like that in our meadow.
  4. We've had the fire running every day since the OMFG! gas bill. Cheers, Steve
  5. Haha, me too! Roundup on offer in case you get thirsty: Roundup Ready To Use Weed Killer Spray 3 Litres - Groceries - Tesco Groceries
  6. Who tested it on the mice?.... and what happened to the other 50% that survived? Did they have other affects, like, like, like, like repeating things in an un un un unusual way? I think Monsanto is the work of the devil - as is Tesco. I suppose I do believe in some things. We shop at Lidl and sometimes Aldi - they have an aisle of dreams, for men & butch ladies. They have cheap gadgets, and cuddly things like slippers & neoprene pants. It's just how I imagine heaven to be!.... Oh no! I bet they sell Roundup!! Must find a safer shop!
  7. Yeah, agree. Arbtalk is such a great learning resource, I've learnt & still am learning loads. I'd also like to make charcoal on a budget. Like that video... sounds like a rocket stove. Cheers, Steve
  8. Who knows? Can't trust the manufacturers, can't trust the environmentalists.
  9. Yum! Caaaake and eat it, great idea! Like that

    2014 550 xpg

    Been using my 550xpg today - has been starting on first or second pull. Very happy with it and glad I didn't get the 560xpg (which was a serious consideration). Cheers, Steve
  15. Ah, okay.... Steve is after a six pack. I get it now!
  16. Haha! That's quite a....errr, posh hippy curriculum vitae!! Still, woteva, don't make me wanna use chemicals, innit.
  17. Always wanted to be a road gritter! **drooling**
  18. In a nutshell, what is a Paleo diet and what is the purpose of being on one? Cheers, Steve
  19. I've read a few mentions of applying god knows what chemicals to trees, etc from members on arbtalk and thought I'd post this link.... (a French research into the toxic levels of the chemical things you may have been using). I'm no expert in these chemicals.... we don't use any of this toxic stuff. Cheers, Beehugger Steve Have a read or glance.... thoughts? Garden & Farm Fungicides, Herbicides & Pesticides Far More Toxic Than Originally Thought | Permaculture Magazine
  20. Just had a check with my feather edge and it's too narrow (at 4") to do what I'm wanting.... but here's a couple of rubbish quality photos to show what I'm thinking: A 6" wide beam would mean I could run the right hand v-guide on the outside of the Alaskan (vertical) mini mill without interference. The Alaskan (horizontal) Small Log Mill would run along both of the v-guides so it's not tilted. Simple but cunning eh!?...
  21. Nice idea. I imagine there would be a bit more wiggling (leaving a slightly wigglier finish) compared to the standard v-shaped guides supplied with the Alaskan (vertical) mini mill. I've half thought about fixing the 2ft v-guides straight onto both runs of a ladder/ or an aluminium rectangular box section may work better (about 6" wide by 1" deep). Good to see the various solutions cheers, Steve
  22. Just found this chap using an aluminium guide... csm1.jpg Photo by tswoodshop | Photobucket

    ?...another thread that isn't arb related. Haha! Wonder where this one will end up!....
  24. Looks like a good and simple way of fixing, simple is good! Is it best to mill the top of the log first, and then do the sides? Cheers, Steve
