So I ordered myself a carpentry bar from Chainsaw Bars and while browsing through the special offers I see 2 of these Zomax saws for £100 and a matey of mine was going to buy 2 so before he does thought I would ask if anyone knows what they are like . Thanks. Mark

Begginer at Wooden Crafts- best types of wood to use
gobbypunk replied to Jzarty's topic in Woodcraft Forum
Hi Jzarty what sort of jewellery are you going to make if rings and bangles you want a nice hardwood Elm ,Greenheart ,Holly all make nice rings I will post some pics of the rings we have just done ,be catefull of those ring/bangle cutting drill bits I had a bangle cutting bit snap in half and half and go flying if you some off cuts posting just cover the postage and I will send you a box full of interesting timber we have loads of small bits of Holly,Elm ,Yew etc and do post some photos of what you make. Have fun. Mark -
Load of crap where do they get these people from ,top notch kit but that coffee table the legs just looked wrong and that aeroplane planter was going in the right direction but up close was all lumpy ,and that matey cutting Burr Elm by hand one min he was hand sawing and the next time you see the bit of timber its all planned up I know its Telly and they can only show so much but just be honest and say other processes were used ,just like that other TV thing Britons Best Woodworker ,What did you guys think of it ?

So I just had 2 saws in the shop with new petrol problems and the mateys in the shop were saying that the only surefire way around fuel going stale and jelly like etc is to use an Aspen type fuel but at £20 for 5 lts its expensive so Why is it so expensive I would use it all the time but milling with it would be soooo expensive so what can we do as an industry to make things better .
-
Shame you are so far away or I would have come and helped but if you already have someone who knows chainsaws then if he has a saw big enough a chineses mill is not that expensive so you could just get one and have a go .
-
So if you dont mind me asking how much was that box ,as I was offered on very similar bot a whole intackt box with double doors on one end in nice condition delivered to my yard for £550 that kinda looked like a good deal what do you guys think
-
Good luck following this with interest .
-

Its the "very valuable Black Walnut sketch "again I still laugh when I watch that cartoon,back to the green oak furniture if there is enough just make it out of 6x6 peg it all together as long as they dont want to move it it should be ok and look stunning could even put casters on it to move it around hope you get the job and photos of what you make if you do . Cheers. Mark
