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

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

Nice work bench and looks like a cool location ,but you cant beat the Welsh countryside
-
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
-
I have the Woodland Mills HM130 Max and its ace but the Norwood you can add Hydrolics and a log moulder so you could mill your lumber change the mill head for moulder and crack on and build a log cabin,garage etc I asked Woodland if they would concider doing similar but as yet no go thats the only advantage I can see
-
So the small strips of woodland that I try to manage are Ash, Sycamore and Cherry ,the Ash that was felled before die back arrived are now sprouting from the root plate at the mo they are only whips but its looking like they may be resistant hopefully ,so we are keeping an eye on them and I will obviously keep you all informed .
-
Good luck with it ,what part of the country are you in as there is a sawmill near me they have been there for ever and they have 3 Stenners so should be worth talking to them ,they are called Ridleys and they are in Ansty Dorset.

gobbypunk replied to JohnDeere7197's topic in International Arborist Forum
So I have had big dogs all my adult life always clean up after my dog but cats nobody cleans up after cats I have a house that overlooks my yard and they have a cat who likes to use the sawdust round my sawmill as a toilet I never see the little B#####d and there is not always time to sweep the sawdust and why should I its my yard so yeah I think Cats are much worse -

I am having a hard time with photos since I got a new phone that I can't get the app on so bear with me as for prices how much would a 5.5mtr long 1 mtr wide and say inch and half thick of Oak cost so bearing in mind how rare this timber is I don't think £800 is expensive but hey ,so hopefully there are now some photos of the Black limba and Utile ,all I am trying to do do is put some of this stunning timber with makers who will make something cool with it ,help a friend and maybe make some cash
-
