More questions ,so in all my yrs of milling I havent ever used Borax never had much of a need to I have been quite lucky with not getting mould on boards until now some of the Monkey Puzzle has grown some very impressive mould its as long as 2inch on a window cill I made from some green monkey puz ,its in a barn but now I started to use some from the first lot milled and its a bit green in places so I thought I would get some borax ,so my questions are do you just paint fresh milled boards ,will it make any diffrence to boards milled say 9 month ago that have mould . As always Thanks for your thoughts and advise

The ripple faded out sadly but still nice boards
-
Hi those ripples are so cool but now looking at the butt I will get much wider boards if I spin it but will prob loose that ripple ,what to do

Hi guys is it worth timing the odd shape from the branch Union before I start milling
-
The parts only arrived on thursday ,Friday and Saturday morning were spent moving a Mullberry tree that took some digging and after that my ankle hurt all day sunday so no I am not just sat around moaning .
-
Oh god mate thats so sad ,what to say F##c kind of sums it up our thoughts are with you and your mates family .
-
Hi yep thats the next job they arrived mid last week just have not had time yet hopefully tomorrow .Thanks everyone who has suggested what I may be missing .
-
Hi Andy no everything people have suggested I have given a go new bands ,gone over with spanners ,levelled rails twice ,and a grand a day thats just a laugh you are the one who keeps saying that it is user error and its easy to set up But you are not willing to come and Show me how Easy it is unless I give you money I just dont have but I just dont want to argue either come and easily put it right for the bragging rights or please just stop running me down All I have ever done is ask as I did not know .Hi Les yeah my thicknesser is 3 phase we got a Transwave Converter ,works grate
-
Hi I have been looking for like a 10/12 inch planer thicknesser but only have a small budget ,one will come my way soon
-
Hi Les thanks thats kind ,the bloody thicknesser a bolt snapped off from one of the chain shafts ,I spose thats what you get after 30 yrs of not much maintenance
-
Look sorry Andy as I have said many times what am I missing and obviously if one of our kind hearted Arbtalkers had the time to come and help me of course I would give them what ever I could I have been asking what am I missing ,I have always said its a learning curve and thats why I have always loved arbtalk as most people are always willing to share knowledge and so what if I am new to band mills I am more than up for learning what is so wrong with that if you are so certain its user error why not come and put it easily right and I will gladly eat a big plate of humble pie .

Hi Andy I am sorry but I do have the basic machanical skills our colleague at our yard is a HGV mechanic so yeah we have the skills and I was not asking somebody to do it for me I was asking our arbtalk comunity if somebody was up for helping me ,I help people all the time ,no I am not a sawmill engineer ,would it not do your head in if you had just spent 4 grand on anything and you were having issues with it ,I would not expect help for nothing but a grand ,where is my after sales care .I know its been an issue for a while but how do you think I feel I just want to be milling timber
-
Nice would not mind some of that
-
I am just wanting the same finish as when I first set the thing up and I can feel the whole thing shake ,it is not what I paid 4 grand for bloody issues ,sorry but the Woodland Mills page on FBook is full of people saying oh the teck people are ace came and helped and all we get in the UK is nothing from them they should have some sort of back up not everyone is an engineer ,sorry its just doing my head right in Why will it not sort its self out what am I missing or not doing I just want to get on with milling
-
Hi guys so after getting over a chest infection ,back to my mill finally got it all level again and still getting funny groves and the cut just isnt as good as when I first set it up been through all the nuts and bolts ,one thing though in the book it says to slacken band tension every time you leave it to avoid flat spots on the band wheel as it came all set up with a band ready to go do you think I have a flat spot I have looked for one but nothing obvious ,and Woodland Mills dont have a mobile engineer in this country so stuck trying to sort it myself its doing my head in I just want to get on and mill some timber do any of you guys who has a Woodland Mill fancy coming and having a look with me . Thanks Mark
