  1. Hi I will take some photos next week when I am next at my storage ,and I know I got it a few yrs ago but its always been in a lean to and had a cover over it when not in use I always looked after it and yeah it has less than 20hrs on the clock and ripper 37's are around £400 so I think £3500
  2. Hi everyone ,so thinking about selling my mill even though I dont want to ,my health isnt the best fractured my spine before christmas so lifting big slabs is out ,lost our yard and everything is in storage ,I love sawmilling but at almost 60yrs old setting up another yard ,I would need lifting kit like a forklift ,yards are so expensive around us so yeah as much as I dont want to sell it I think its prob the best idea if I can sell most of the Mahagony and Utile I have it would give me enough cash to buy a nice classic Bus or Truck to convert and do some travelling , so Whats it worth its next to brand new hasnt got 20hrs on the clock and I have 6/8 ripper 37's they do have some surface rust but are still brand new looking on line a new HM130 Max static is £4,198 so what do you guys think less than 20hrs on the clock and bands got to be £3750 ,as always looking forward to seeing what you think. Cheers. Gobby Punk
  3. Hi I have the Woodland mills hm130 max and it’s an ace machine the only downside is you can’t easily ad hydrolcis like the Norwood but hey if you’re a handy bloke I am sure you could like I said I love my mill
  4. Just relax read up practice and you will get there ,I failed the first time but I had 10 teeth out the day before 😂😊
  5. 2 ladders is not as much of a ball ache as you might think I have done it a few times just ease the mill over the join and away to go ,good luck with it
  6. Hi I will take some tomorrow
  7. Hi everyone I have 5 nice lumps of western red ideal for carving if anyone wants them I am in Shaftesbury Dorset, loosing my yard or I would have kept them but everything has to go

  9. Oil it for sure ,Osmo is good stuff
  10. If the instructions are given to to the dealer for Pre Sales set up then that’s what they should do no ifs or bits or don’t be an Echo dealer
  11. Hi guys in myself I feel ok but get super knackered quite quick ,but the thought of not making stuff isnt on so a massive down size ,if I can find somewhere for the sawmill to go that would be amazing but all the units to rent round me are stupid expensive ,and like I said if anyone wants to come and have a rummage please do .
  12. Hi Spud I have so much clutter I would be there for 6 months honestly if anyone wants to have a rummage please come and have a go I have lots of small stuff, odd bits and unusual boards , vintage speakers, work benches, steel cupboards and obviously it would be great to get something back on it as I would like to find a small unit and just make small stuff and not sure about the HM130 and the 2 ft planner but will let you all know. Thanks for all your good wishes that means a lot Cheers. Mark
  13. So as a few of you might remember I am loosing my yard and now it looks like I am not well enough to carry on with the big stuff I have been in and out of hospital my kidneys were only working on 20% they said I have Acute Kidney Injury due to a load of IV antibiotics the hospital gave me for a nasty infection in my leg , had to have a kidney biopsy and on strict Light duties only for a few weeks, so closing down and most stuff has to go , big work benches ,pillar drill , loads of boards etc etc
  14. Get the Biggest saw you can and just use it for Milling leave it set up on the mill as much as you can as others have said its a faf ,if I was going to to buy another set up it would be The Panther Mill and an 881 but then you could probaly get a good used or entry level Band Mill for similar money and save your Back .
  15. It does have a value but for some reason it’s just not very popular it’s only a Pine but I have made some nice stuff from it and sold a fair bit but we had the Whole tree and probably have a third left after a good few yrs
