    Thanks guys ,God there are so many diffrent oils to choose from ,I normally buy cheap and cheerfull for my old diesel van so looking for a good quality oil and it aint cheap but yeah as its brand new then got to look after it ,I do wish the lean to that my mill is in was bigger will have to extend it in the spring and think of a way of putting a movable front on it to keep the weather off the mill ,that lean to is where I fell off that bloody ladder and did my ankle in .

    Elephant

    gobbypunk posted a topic in Milling Forum

    So I just visited Stephen Culls website to price up some new bands for my mill and F##k me theres a picture of an elephant by his woodmizer now thats the best way of loading logs onto the mill I have seen ,I will have to ask him about it in the morning when I order some bands
  19. gobbypunk
    Wow thats expensive I just downloaded mine for free someone on hear yrs ago put up a link its a good book ,but just doing it is the best I had one go on a mates cut like half a slab the got myself an 880 and 4ft alaskan and off I went obviously I made mistakes but loved it from the start even though I dont use the alaskan much any more I would never get rid

    Hi I have a winch and its still in the box used it once and like Saul says I rather have the feel of the mill going through the log as its not always full revs sometimes you need to go easy to get round a lump in the log or you hit a hard bit one thing try and get a way to easily raise the log so as you come past say the middle point you are not on your knees killing your back I got an old doctors bench with a hydrolic jack in it its a bit of a faf to get the log onto it but saved my back its up for free if anyone wants it as now I have the hm130 I dont do much alaskan milling saying that I have a big willow to do ,its going for cello backs . Cheers Mark
