Hi what type of mill do you have ,there is a good book by Will Mallof I think and its called chainsaw lumber making ,but thats about it there are books on what timber is good for what but honestly just doing it is the best way to learn I dont think there is a definitive guide book and if you are near Dorset I could do a day or 2 with you

Yep like that I would love a chain morticer did you oil it

Ha ha ha of course I have even had a crow bar in there for more leverage and still no go
-
Oh dont know the Wadkin people were not that helpfull and I am still waiting for the sparky to come and wire it up and maybe the power rise and fall may kick in not looking forward to having to dismantle it
-
I know exactly what you mean I have had loads of days like that I just have a trawl through the internet looking for something I like it dont always work
-
Hi mate its both it has a switch for rise or fall and a big wheel on the side I was wondering if when its pluged in will the rise and fall work
-
I have given the big hammer a go and it still didnt fix it
-
So back to my big Wadkin the rise and fall doesnt work right I have removed all the bits of crap wood that was stuck ,sprayed all sorts of lube greased everything and it still woulnt work have any of you dismantled one
-
One thing I noticed how come you havent stickered your planks I know it must have taken an age to move all of them .
