  1. So I phoned this company that sells Borax and the quote I gets is like £100 but I am sure on an old thread somebody was saying get it from ebay for like £15
  2. Funny its also used to make kids slime
  3. I don't know why I just haven't been able to get into the build like I normally do maybe it's just not chunky enough
  4. Hi guys it is Borax to treat mould on boards just had some monkey puzzle back from someone else who milled it and let it all go mouldy funny as the boards I have milled haven't gone mouldy and all from the same tree As always your thoughts are appreciated

  7. Hi so at the Estate I look after the boss has baught a new saw a Husky 445 nice saw except it keeps throwing the chain off, even like the second time I used it, I did notice the bar has a tiny bend in it if its on the bench flat you can just notice it but after all these years working with saws I don't think it's this that's causing the trouble as always keen to hear your thoughts Thanks Mark

  12. Hi Laz you could always put one in your garden ,this one is going in a garden thats why I used an exterior lacqure hopefully it will not just silver with age
  13. Hi Laz might not have but I have done a big mirror in coast redwood it really likes the litchenburg I will try and take some pics but its tucked out of the way so it dont get broke
  14. Hi guys so I look after a small Estate a couple of days a week and we just got a brand new husky 445 and the bloody chain keeps coming off any ideas what's causing this issue looked at all the obvious Thanks Mark
  15. Hi not in the workshop today but will take some pics from underneath tomorrow so you can see whats going on ,the customer sent me theses photos that just showed a big table top and legs similar to mine but the people who take theses photos are crafty as they never show the fixing points so you can see how its done then people who dont make things have no idea on the ballache when they give you an image and say Like That please ,but hey so glad you all like it ,and it will defo pop when we put the finish on ,got some water based exterior lacquer from Wood Finishes in Yeovil a 2 part system an impregnator that has a fungicide in it then the lacquer its bloody good stuff and the guys at Wood Finishes are really helpful . Cheers Mark

  17. Hi hope you all like our latest table Giant Redwood with a western red stretcher almost 4mtrs long
  18. Hi have a look on BPI Auctions and Bidspotter ,both have liquadtion stuff etc
  19. Hi my 880 can be a fussy bitch to start sometimes and you just dont want to flood one I always were a leather glove to start it its bitten me back and almost taken my fingers off ha ha but it sounds like a small 2 stroke motorcycle when going especially when reving it up , I would defo say mine sings not like my carving saw but its defo got its own tune I bet I could tell one going at it down the road ,like others say the colour on the spatk plug is a good tell tale and also check the air filter on my last 880 that got stolen it had the older filter and it would fill up with sawdust quite quickly making the saw a bitch to start the newer ones have a different filter and ad they dont make them any more it could have the older filter it dont take long to unscrew the case and give it a quick clean ,good luck with it and do look after it as they dont mske them any more and I exprect they will be be like rocking horse shit to find . Cheers Mark
