    Had this Holly sawlog in the yard for some time; it had got buried at the bottom of a pile I’ve finally worked through but when I put it on the mill and took off the 1st slice I was glad it got left as long as it did…I’ve never seen Holly spalt like that before, pleasantly surprised!

    I have always had this when milling on my own the weight of the saw tends to drop the cut for the last few inches try leaning on the inner mill frame I think thats what Rob D said to me but it only happens when milling on my own hope this kinda helps

    So sorry for no pics it just won't upload from my phone ,and can't get the app on my new phone bloody crap
  21. gobbypunk
    Hi guys so I haven't posted any pics of what I have been doing for a while so thought I would, this is Atlus Cedar that quite likes the Litchenburging ,now I can't decide to put some glow in the dark resin in it or not going to cut it up and make a box out of it like a small treasure chest . Hope you think it's cool . Cheers Mark
  22. gobbypunk
    Nice work bench and looks like a cool location ,but you cant beat the Welsh countryside
  23. gobbypunk
    Oh well no worries ,there is a nice Treka Saw ,and this totally mad thing its like an Alaskan bandsaw ,that you can then stand on end and use like a workshop bandsaw totally cool but not very wide cut cant remember what make it was .

    I would go with Muttleys advise get an orbital sander and maybe some wax polish remover ,Strip then Sand 120 grit up to 400 should do wipe off with spirit then apply a finish , Colron do a good water based lacqure that is hot coffee cup resistant I have tested it .

    Hi if you are still looking for a sawmill there are a few different ones on ebay at the mo and it may be worth giving Chris Pierce at Woodland Mills a call he sometimes knows of a used Woodland
