  1. Yep I totaly agree I had most of the parts to make a hydrolic lifter but it was turning into a massive ball ache so I left it ,been trying to open a buisness account with the Natwest that has also turned into a ball ache ,I am going for a bounce back loan to get a tractor or loader ,better than forklift as I can use it to collect logs.Talking of collecting logs I have an old trailer in my yard on landrover wheels it needs work but if anyone wants it for free come and get it I will take some pics today
  2. What we could do with a somebody or firm who could come up with a hydrolic system that could be retro fitted to most makes of bandmills ,so people with the smaller mills could upgrade ,I would totaly buy a set up that I could just bolt together .
  3. So I now have the bearers chem fixed to the floor in my lean too and hopefully tomorrow I will get the track squared up and screwed to the bearers and the saw head on the track ,cant wait . Cheers Mark
  4. Yeah same as if you want it all to be the same you need to sand all of it then osmo or teak oil ,osmo is bloody good stuff if a tad expensive
