Funny thing well not that bloody funny ,it was spot on in my workshop no wobble ,sturdy and all we did was dismantle it take it to its location and when we rebuilt it there is a wobble ,going there today to sort it out did my head right in why would it move on a short van journey

I will have another go with the winch soon ! I have some monkey puzzle that’s too big for the woodlands ,one pain though is when my workshop got burgled they took my 880with a nice Sugi 4 ft milling bar and now the only 4ft bar I have is the hard nosed bar that came with my first 880 and for some reason solid nosed bars are crap for milling the chain tension is all over the place you can almost watch the chain getting slacker as you go through the cut ,and as I don’t do that much Alaskan milling do I get a better one ,no shows ,or demos this year at all by the looks of it so struggling a bit .

Sorry for the photos being upside down don’t know how that happened, I took the winch off as I felt that I wasn’t getting the right feel for how the saw was cutting if you know what I mean,with a winch it’s just full throttle all the way ! I don’t know that’s just what I think others may differ

Hi all hopefully here are some photos of the Oak that I have just miilled
-
Hi ,well at least I am not alone , and the matey that I was doing the milling for is a posh banker so he was well chuffed and his oppo was getting paid just to chat and help with moving the slabs that were bloody heavy even at two and a half inch ,back this morning and wondering how much the boards have cracked as all he did was put some crinkly tin over them I will post some photos later let’s hope today goes better
-
So On Friday did my first payed alaskan milling job since my accident what a palaver the saw fell off the bar ,put it back on the chain comes off ,bloody puts it back on the wrong way round and on top of all that it was some of the hardest Oak I have ever milled I ache all over today welcome back to chainsaw milling ,but the boards are ace I think I have some photos on my mobile if so I will post them when I get a mo , I am back there tomorrow morning to finish the log probably only 2/3 boards to mill cheers Mark

Hi I found a arbotec turbo plane is good for hollowing out bowls if I get time tomorrow I will post a picture of the bowl I made with one out of some pear wood
-
Hi I have hollowed out some treasure chests from elm logs using the tip of the saw ,taking out the chainsaw marks takes ages
-
No idea what timber that is but Nice work how did you hollow them out was it on a lathe
-
Yeah pleased with it a bit of a faf cutting to the shape of the beam ,those beams are 16/18 inch Elm full of woodworm holes but you can’t hammer a 6inch nail into them with a lump hammer goes in about an inch or so and just bends rock hard in the middle

Hi guys yeah I have been doing some research and you can build up an allergy to sawdust over time and WRC is an irritant so it said on this site I was looking on.
-
I have a tree book somewhere will have to dig it out and see what it says just wondering if anybody on here had developed an allergy to WRC or any timber after yrs of using it
-
Hi guys have any of you heard of anybody developing an allergy to WRC , I have been using it on and off for yrs but yesterday by the time I got home both my fore arms were bright red itchy as F##K and lumpy defo an allergy and apart from a new British Bulldog and I have always had dogs ,I can’t think of anything else that I might be allergic to . Cheers Mark

Shame I would have liked only 1 or 2 of those butts any chance of milling some of it on site
