    Not made any pegs yet but I have got a nice collection of wibbly wobbly oak branches, here's some of them....

    Mostly nice n sunny here today, had a few showers and one of them was very sudden almost like flicking a switch....within a few seconds it went from being really calm to full howling wind & lashing rain, weird.

    Hadn't thought of that.... I'll apply to the Planning Department to turn it into a toll bridge, and put a sign up: Wood mice: 50p Foxes: £1.50 Badgers: £3.50

    Snap!...

    We've had a few big oaks snap off at the top, like this one. The main trunk looks fairly, er, simple! without so many branches.... what are the chances of getting regrowth?

    Thought of this thread when I went for a walk through our woods today and found this amazing old oak that fell across the brook (must have happened many years ago). There's no sign of the roots being exposed... it looks like it twisted the bank of soil over. The original lower branch is now the main canopy! ....the old canopy branches appear to have rooted themselves as well and are growing happily. The photos here don't do it justice, but hopefully you get the idea. Cheers Steve

    Wow! Nice to see an honest seller on ebay, could do with more of those!

    Haha! Hilarious.

    Haha, that's great, good share. I was waiting for a vertical plunge cut at head height.

    What are you bumping for?
  14. SteveA
    Ah that's good - and hopefully not the last load due to ending up in the ditch.

    Blimey, is that section of the road covered in slimed green leaf mould? Best take an alternative route if you can. Could be worth alerting your council highways dept to inspect/ steam clean.

    Good that you are thinking of safety, I'm sure StihlBen will let you know what you'll be needing to wear, and maybe he'll have some spare PPE for you to wear? Don't worry about being a bit overweight, ground work will sort that out! Worth keeping a check on ebay, etc for used gear.

    It's crazy that there aren't more companies making or supplying them. .... I contacted Milwaukee technical department a while ago to see if they'd be interested in working on some kind of bandsaw for milling, but they didn't seem to be that arsed.

    Darn, I did think of you....was hoping you could sort it out Rob! Do they have to be CE marked? I think a grand is at the upper price range for what it can do; but then again, it does have more moving parts compared to an Alaskan mill. In theory it could pay for itself pretty quick. The RipSaw is exactly the thing I was trying to explain to the guy who's selling the circular saw bench (SilverClaw)... I think there's a huge market for something like this in the UK. Proof is in how popular the Alaskan mill has been.....

    Got a portable chainsaw/bandsaw for sale mate?
  21. SteveA
    great to hear this, and credit to you for seeing beyond the ranting & for giving him a second chance.
  22. SteveA
    Good pile of hard work there. What did you use to split it all? Cheers
  23. SteveA
    Haha! Thanks mate. I've started a new thread for the Ripsaw thingy.... you are welcome to hijack it!
  24. SteveA
    Been looking for anyone that makes chainsaw to bandsaw attachments and someone here (thanks Alec) mentioned 'Rip Saw' Ripsaw portable sawmills - welcome It looks like a perfect side partner to the Alaskan chainsaw mill. - Rip through the big stuff to get it down to size with the Alaskan, - and do final dimensions with the Ripsaw Thoughts on this, and any other manufacturers, UK importers interested??.... Here's the RipSaw in operation on youtube.... [ame] [/ame]
  25. SteveA
    Exactly, perfect, just what I want!! .....waddya mean I can't buy one here in the UK????? This deserves a thread of it's own! (Sorry difflock, i will stop hijacking your thread now).
