I will router a recess for the mirror and use CT1 to fix it in place but then if the timber is thick enough I will use like glazing bars in the back and if its tall mirror I will put 2 or more going across and some of the truly big a heavy ones will have a backing board .

One piece of funky rubber flooring sealed along the edges and for the sink spray with thinned car lacqure it will waterproof it I looked into making a wooden sink ages ago but just aint had the time sadly

Hi yeah always after Butts for milling ,nice boards though ,just bought a 1953 Commer Q4 so no buying boards for a while need to sell some boards .

Hi Bob that looks very similar to the stuff I just got and it looks like Butternut Walnut ,its only the 3rd Walnut I have had but the other 2 were that nice dark brown colour ,the shape of the nuts are different ,if you get a chance goggle Butternut Walnut and you will see what I mean . Cheers. Mark

My chain came by mistake so when I spoke to Laurence from Chainsaw Bars I just decided to keep it and even though I have only used it a few times its been cutting fine but could be the bar but I did clean ,dress sharpen etc before I went .

So thanks Andy I was trying to find out what people thought about this Walnut I had never heard of Butternut Walnut till today so I will ask again what do people think ,I had an old bit of English Walnut in the yard and comparing the bark they were so different, I will be so chuffed if it is Butternut as its ment to be very stable and good to make stuff from

So some more photos and we have been doing some research and think it may be Butternut Walnut

So those boards are still in the back of my van in that photo I will take some more when I unload them this afternoon

So probably not the best photos but just wanted to show how pale this Walnut is and keen to hear peoples thoughts

Yeah will have to watch that vid ,its a very pale colour though very thin sap wood band ,my mate has lived next door for almost 60yrs and has had Walnuts from it will borrow the girlfriends iphone as my phone isnt compatible with arbtalk photos

So I havent had the Alaskan Mill out for like over a year and this weekend just gone went up to Upminster to mill a Walnut tree that came down in my mates next door neighbours ,ran a file over the chain as it had not been used in a while but it just wasnt cutting right real hard work and a real bad finish ,so did the cutters and rakers again and still very slow cutting so I was wondering if the Hyper Skip just didnt like the green Walnut it was also so so pale I will get some pics up as soon as I can having a lazy morning as I worked all weekend and I my shoulders ache like F##K .
-

I kinda like it but putting big grooves round the butt not good a strap attached not a hook but totally like the idea and I have 2 of those jacks at the yard will have a play when I get a mo looking into attaching a pair of numatic wheels on the top of a sack truck to turn it i to a trolley for moving logs off wet grass without making too much of a mess

Hi I have done quite a bit of resin work and if it was me I would take a sharp chisel to that resin on the top to expose the crack again ,we were having a hard time filling cracks on a heap of coasters we made and we phoned Easy Composites and they advised a thinner viscosity resin but cant remember what one we also use a 2ml syringe to inject the resin into cracks works real well ,good luck and do post some pics of the finished slab. Cheers. Mark
