Um somewhere up the Valleys out of the way but it would have to be the right place workshop /sheds and be able to live on site even if its a double decker bus would not be the first time, used to have a bright pink decker with a cafe/bar downstairs

Ha yeah import costs ,have you seen the Jumberjack mortice and tenon cutting bits very cool but cant get them over hear apart from on amazon in the US 140 dollas a set on amazon f###ing £720 what is going on thats just mad

Hi mate how's you I was thinking about cutting the Burr out or milling it flat as it would make a stunning resin table
-
What would you do with this bit
-
The last of the Mullberry 2 and a quarter inch boards hope you like them I think they are stunning just hope they don't split will get the banding kit out

Just getting to grips with the banding kit

Hi I have the Woodland Mills HM130 MAX and after a few teething problems and I expect everyone gets them I totally like it 30inch wide cut it does take some getting used to coming from an Alaskan like you its day and night so much quicker less faffing around the only thing if woodland mills did upgrades like Norwood do so you could get the basic mill then make some cash buy the trailer, that they do but then hydraulic log lifter, turner, toe boards etc as I am totally happy with my new mill but would like to add to it and I don't have time or welding skills to build it myself, but that's the only down thing I can say

Hi Spuddog ,Santapod aint been there in yrs and yrs used to love the run what you brung weekends some real interesting contraptions used to turn up ,sorry for the derail.
-
Hi mate no not sold any yet I have a big shed on the Est I look after so tempted to air dry then kiln dry the unusual timbers ,worth more cash that way but we do have a big Wood Fair in Agust so I will take a load there and if anyone wants some,just working on a flyer and website we have a nice professional photocopier so flyers will be cheap.
-
I will use some of it for the big garden benches we make and not sure about the rest very similar looking to cedar of lebanon

Finally got some pics of the Blue Cedar finished yesterday

Nice job I bet you are chuffed you should be how long did they take -
A totally good idea I saw a low tech thing like that on ebay once using scafhold poles but could not find it again ,I would totally be into getting one or why dont we all get together and make and sell something I have a big workshop with welding cutting milling etc could make us a heap of cash

Nice framing how long did it take

So yeah skip chain worked a real treat got to admit I was surprised at how well it went through the Cedar until I caught the very edge of the coach screws holding my ladder to the 2nd log but not many cutters to sharpen ,the Atlas Cedar is so heavy compared to western red Bloody caught my bad ankle with one of the boards that slipped thought I was heading to the hospital when it first happened but was lucky it just hurts like F##c ,will try and get some pics of the boards up . Cheers. Mark
