Picked up a nice big butt of Walnut yesterday cost me £50 and £100 for the hi ab to come and move it ,now have a few nice lumps waiting for my new mill decided to install a curtain from an old curtian sider lorry on the front of my lean-to in order to keep the rain off my mill all these things delaying the build up of it though doing my head in but I will get there

Hi Andy thanks I was kinda thinking that myself but its always good to have another opinion I have some anchor resin and some 6inch brackets jobs a good un ,so looking forward to finally getting my mill up and running ,but loads of things keep delaying me off to collect a big Walnut butt this morning. Happy Days

So started to assemble my mill today and I have treated 8x2 bearers for the feet and these bearers will sit on my concreate yard ,do you guys think I should put a bracket or screw them down to stop them sliding as I roll a log up onto the mill or do you think the weight will keep it in place Cheers Mark
