Hi yep same as everyone else I would want a refund

Hi yep I have tried transplanting fungi from beech with to beech without and it didn’t work but burying the end half way in wet sawdust seems to work also just leaving a few boards under your bench again covered in damp fresh sawdust seems to work ,I had a chunk of beech under my bench totaly forgot about and cleaning out under the bench and uncovered this chunk scraped the sawdust from it and wow ,an old boy told me you can cover the boards in sawdust wrap in black plastic and leave and that will encourage spalting it’s just a matter of catching it before it’s rotten,have an experiment. Cheers Mark

Hi I think that size would be an Alaskan job
-
Hi guys so can I get the band that snapped re welded or is it scrap ,still wondering what I did to make it snap
-
Hi yep all set up as should be and yes snapped at the weld as I am totally new to band milling it’s all a learning curve that’s for sure I need to spend a day with someone who has been using a bandmill for a while I think
-
Hi yep get someone to mill it with an Alaskan especially if you have a mate with one ,bring it my yard and we can have a go no problem. Cheers Mark

Hi mate I have some cedar that is quite dry but very rain wet it’s an off cut that has been left in the rain ,Doug Fir I could cut green but I doubt that’s any good,and I have some western red but it’s not that good quality, I think you should still have my number give me a ring Cheers Mark -
Hi guys ,so today I was offered for free a big Scots pine ,but all I know about it is that it’s sappy and sticky ,but is it worth getting to mill as it’s free

Hi ,staining holly what a waste the colours in holly are ace ,it does have its issues when drying, but I have been quite lucky and have made some lovely furniture out of it ,it’s one of my favourite timbers it’s a creamy/grey colour and it just doesn’t come along in sawl log size very often. Thanks Mark

Hi sorted the Walnut sorry no photos yet it was blowing quite a bit and still is going to loose a roofing sheet from our toilet building
-
I was thinking about taking my iPad with the cartoon on it to show the matey
-
So we have all seen the ‘very valuable black walnut tree ‘ cartoon so tomorrow I will be in that cartoon in real life , I met a retired woodworker the other day and after chatting I said I would drop some off cuts in for him to try and help him get back doing something as he isn’t well ,so he points me over the fence into a neighbors garden and there is an ok walnut butt so dropped my card in , so one of the first things the matey says to me is how much is it worth, I am going to have a good look in the morning I will take some photos but what to offer . Cheers Mark
-
And as for a load of elm well defo not hear in Dorset you would be lucky to get one butt
-
Hi Steve, the pedestals are the same so the table top can just drop in as it needs to be quite easy to dismantle and store ,as the client wishes I will take some photos of the pedestals tomorrow so you can see what I mean .

Hi thanks for Hi mate thanks for the pictures,my ramp set up was based on the woodland mills set up but I quickly realised that it is crap and after looking at your pics I might have to re work my set up ,but I may have a deal on a forklift if it works out fingers crossed and thanks for the last 2 photos showing the bridles Cheers Mark
