So when I broke and dislocated my ankle I looked into all sorts of supports and there was one that I cant remember what it was called but it was like an exo skeleton that could be worn in a normal boot ,sports injury sites are the best places to look ,try an exersise ball when you are sat down at night to build the muscle

The same 2/3 inch if you have a fair bit why not mill some 4 inch for table legs ,elm is ace
-
Just get the biggest saw you can an 880 if you can that way you will not come across that nice big butt and not have the saw to deal with it
-
Hi everyone ,thanks for your thoughts I did put the boards by the woodburner to try and dry them enough to put the orbital sander on them .
-
As it getts colder chainsaw trousers could come in handy to keep you warm but if you havent been told you need them I wouldnt worry
-
Um no not painting the undertaker needs the finished thing for tuesday lunch time I have trim to hide all the joins so I dont need to be that accurate just screw and glue as long as it looks ace its getting burnt in the end ,hopefully the furrow zombies didnt visit in the night
-
Hi no not seasoned but still odd like I said never seen a board do that and now more of them have gone like it,will defo keep an eye on the zombies
-
Hi everyone, so sadly we making a coffin for a close friend, out of western red, the board in question was sanded to a 120 came in today and its developed some furrows I have never seen a board do that before, twist or crack yes, just thought I would see what you all thought Cheers Mark

Oh thanks mate I love Elm I was given a rather big Elm board by an old boy I know who was retiring he actually gave me a whole heap of stuff ,what I need is some 3 or 4 inch square Elm for some chunky table legs .
-
Hi thats a dificult one its worth what somebody is willing to pay for it if yoy have to fell it and deal with all the brash then its quite a lot of work before you even get to the milling stage you could offer some of the planks and some fire wood from the stuff thats too small to mill thats where I would start will you have to remove all the arisings
-
Hi Eggs ,swearing is obligatory when moving heavy things it seems to help ,but now its pouring with rain hear oh well will just get wet
-
my new mill arrived late this afternoon ,packed right in the back of a lorry no forklift so we unload all the other stuff then the pallet is too big for the doors one way and too lo g the other so we ended up cutting up the pallet to get it out of the lorry ,what a shower of shit I spoke with some woman from the company yesterday and she knew the score ,but hey its hear will start building it tomorrow
-
Hi the company is called DB Schekner not sure of the spelling ,they tried on monday to deliver but it took till yesterday and a load of phone calls from me to get it delivered today hopefully they didnt even let me know they had tried to deliver F###ing crap but hey it will be hear today and milling by monday .
-
So the shipping /delivery company is a massive global shipping company ,they tried to deliver my mill in an 18tonne lorry on monday and it was only today they ring me leaving no name or number to ring back so I ended up ringing 6/7 diffrent numbers before somebody rang me back so now its coming tomorrow hopefully
-
Hi yeah I am up for some of that as well ,why dont we all share it
