I guys I've had this butt hanging around in my yard for 5/6 yrs, I was nicely surprised, I am thinking a dining table maybe some resin down the middle of the 2 boards

Ho yeah being off your feet is a nightmare when I broke and dislocated my ankle I was off my feet for 4 months off work for 6 , it will be 2 yrs ago on the 8th ,still gives me grief but hey at the time it was 50/50 if they were going to have to cut my foot off , good luck with your operation and do try and stick to what they say . Cheers Mark

Hi oh yeah I have the whole 40ft tree to mill ,one question though I am finding that the mill head is catching on the edge of the log and trying to space it further in from the dogs isn’t working that well I don’t want to loose the waney edge what do other people do . Thanks Mark

Ha ha ha ha ,but funny enough it does work upside down,it’s my design skills, I should be working at NASSA.

Hi guys Happy New Year,just a quick reminder I am still looking for some sort of 3 phase power being either a converter or a generator. Thanks Mark
-
Hi Mr Witt what size leg are you . I just measured the inside leg on them and it’s 29/30 if thats any good Cheers Mark
-
Nice bit of Elm ,how come I never get any it’s my favourite
-
Oh I was expecting some pics of the monkey puzzle but they don’t seem to have worked ,I will take some more tomorrow
-
Hi its a bit hard to describe so I will take some pictures tomorrow, but very similar to the Woodland Mills set up I sort of copied it
-
Hi guys after bloody ages finally had a proper go with my hm 130, my ramps worked but need fine tuning, totally chuffed with the mill, and those monkey puzzle boards are cool, can't wait to get back at it Cheers Mark

Hi I think we should concentrate on banning things like nuclear power ,depleted uranium shells ,fracking ,old rubber factories in the former USSR ,before bloody fireworks.Geo engineering poses a much bigger threat than fireworks,spraying heavy metals into our atmosphere creating man made clouds shutting all the greenhouse gases under a blanket of cloud causing temperatures to rise even more if we do not put a stop to geo engineering we could end up with a cascade event and then we are all Fu##ed

Hi Mr Hooker ,same as the bigger the size the longer the leg I tried one pair on and the knee pads were around my ankle ,Hi Witt the trousers I have are Sthil Dynamic front protection and size 36 almost brand new in the box with the patch material Happy New Year. Mark

So guys how long is too long to leave D Fir before it becomes hard to cut ,a matey of mine has left a pile of logs in the woods for about a year and now wants me to mill it for him ,is a year too long ? I think you are going to say yes it is but thought I would ask those with more experience than me Thanks Happy New Year. Mark
-
Hi it sure does have many variables,but what I first asking was does anybody have a big and deep Alaskan or Panther Mill ,that is up for coming and helping me to quarter this trunk as I don’t want to free hand it . Happy New Year. Mark
-
Sorry Andy as far as I understand quarter sawing you cut the butt into quarters then take cut from the flat bottom upwards then turn 90% cut upwards ,there is a diagram on hear somewhere,if I remember right you want to box out the very heart of the butt as that’s the most unstable bit . I think that’s right Happy New Year. Mark
-
If I free hand it the first cuts through the middle will probably be shite and if done right 4 boards at least would be almost 2ft wide and true quarter sawn English Oak 2ft wide with quite a bit of brown in them should be worth quite a lot , and made into furniture would be stunning.
-
Hi I really don’t want to free hand it ,Steve it’s 42 inch diameter
-
Hi guys ,so I have an oversize Oak butt in my yard that I would love to quarter saw but my Alaskan is not big enough and I just can’t buy a bigger ,deeper set up for one butt so does anybody out there have an Alaskan big enough that’s up for coming and helping me Mill it . Thanks Mark
