What so nobody near me has any sawlogs
-
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

Yeah get a roofers torch and a few boards and just have a go a stiff brush then oil ,did quite a lot of burning on chainsaw carvings and a summer house I like it but brushing is an important part of the process just like fractle burning now cladding done like that would be super cool

Very soft and just doesn't last rots very quickly ,Lime for anything inside and Cedar , Doug Fir for outside obviously there are more timbers you can use ,Grinling Gibbons his carvings in Lime are totally stunning well worth a look . Cheers. Mark

Hi mate the box is about 7ft tall and the same wide and about 10ft long will measure and take some photos tomorrow and I have an Arrowsmith kiln unit with all the drying schedules so hopefully just hang it on the back wall and way to go

Nice saw but what do the military want with such a machine

When I worked in my tiny workshop in my garden I would always leave it till 10am on a week day before I started up my saws and never on a sunday but I have older unwell next door but back when I was 18 ish we lived just down the road from 2 churches effing every sunday morning woken up by the bloody bells so is that an issue ,I am not into church nor are a lot of people so where do you draw a line noise is noise we have people down the lane from us and most sundays they cut fire wood for themself dont bother me I think if you want or need to work on a sunday fine if the job is near houses a quick door knock on say the weekend before to let people know and get their heads round it is good PR .
