  1. Get the Biggest saw you can and just use it for Milling leave it set up on the mill as much as you can as others have said its a faf ,if I was going to to buy another set up it would be The Panther Mill and an 881 but then you could probaly get a good used or entry level Band Mill for similar money and save your Back .
  2. It does have a value but for some reason it’s just not very popular it’s only a Pine but I have made some nice stuff from it and sold a fair bit but we had the Whole tree and probably have a third left after a good few yrs
  3. So has anyone seen one of these and if so if it was cleaned up what do you think it would be worth
  4. I have an insulated fridge box with an arrowsmith kiln unit in it the box cost me £500 happy to take £450 for the both my mobile is 07449736569 . Cheers Mark

  8. Hi Jon ,not sure I think I can find storage for my important kit and to be honest we have so much TAT it would be good to just start again so defo going to find another yard and we have 3/4 people who are up for sharing so all those cast iron feet and gears kitchen cupboard handles that just take up space can go and hopefully we will feel lighter all round ,you have seen how cluttered we are ,so I have mixed feelings and like I said as long as we keep our essential kit a precious stuff the rest can go . So if anyone wants a bargain we have cool metal Vintage Pidgeon hole cupboards £100 each ,all the off cuts can just go for free .We just need to find a farmer with a cheap barn to rent
