My fabrication skills are not the best but stood up to the lump hammer test happy days

Finally here is the monkey puzzle
-
Hi I will try again with the pictures
-
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
-
Hi guys thanks for your reply’s it was woodlots but when I looked on it most of the posts seemed to be yrs old ,it was just doing my head in trying to remember it’s name
-
Ah. Cool guys I think it was woodlots I will have a look Thanks. Mark
-
So I was reading a post somewhere hear on Arbtalk a while ago and it mentioned a different forum that people sell timber in the round ,planks etc but I can’t remember what it was called ,obviously it wasn’t as good as ours but It’s doing my head in not being able to remember what it’s called any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks and Happy New Year. Mark

Hi guys I went for chaps for milling and carving as I am short and plump and kept growing out of my trousers and at £80/100 a time it was getting expensive, I still have a pair of Sthil trousers almost brand new if someone want to make me an offer on them , I will look them out and see what size they are. Cheers Mark
-
Cool thanks,our forum is a font of knowledge it’s F###ing Ace
-
So I am thinking I am going to have to watch some vids annealing !heat treat ,I have obviously watched forged in fire but that don’t teach you much ,annealing is that just heating it up to soften it ,how do you know when it’s done ,sorry it’s all new to me
-
Cool as , I will have to look out for a cheap gas forge , I do know a blacksmith but he’s a coke head so unfortunately very unreliable, so a question in the image of the knife made from the rasp would that have needed to be heat treated after shaping or not Thanks Mark
-
Wow Lux that’s amazing such a talent, I have never had a go at forge work but would definitely love to try my hand at it ,I find it totally fascinating .
