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 .
-
Hi not got one myself but my matey that looks after my saws has one and says it’s only a cheap one but it’s ace and a mechanic mate has one so apart from recommendations from my mates that they are totally worth getting I can’t help with what make to get ,good luck though Cheers Mark
-
Very nice work ,the Damascus pattern is cool as ,do you plan on making them order, as I would defo like one .
-
Hi that bracket is a bloody good idea I think I will do something similar,we have a Sip mig welder and it’s almost brand new everyone who’s seen it tells me it’s a good welder I guess I just need practice.
-
What do you charge for that then
-
Hi Mr Rough,I would totally be interested in seeing what the boards from that Beech turn out like do post some pics when you Mill it Happy Christmas. Mark

Hi Johnson’s nice trailer,wish my fabrication skills were that good my welding is not pretty,one thing since first looking at the woodland mills ramps and then making mine the ramp slots in and then rests on the mill rails and I was wondering if over time the small spot on the mill rail would deform somehow effecting the run of the saw head ,I was thinking about making a small something to deal with the issue or do you think I am over thinking things . Thanks Mark

Hi Andy why not get a winch ,there is a good vid on the woodland mills site of any easy set up it’s what I have done but yet to use ,hopefully I will get a chance on Friday if I do I will try and take a vid and post it . Happy Christmas Mark

So Mymill is on a trailer, and I have a spare set of axels so I was thinking of extending my trailer to take a track extension and a hydraulic power pack for a log lifter as soon as I get some rams so not only do I want to make my own track extension but log lifter as well ,have any of you made your own hydraulics,as it’s a total new thing to me could I use the mill engine to run them some how or would I need a donkey engine,woodmizers only have the one engine or yet again would I be better off just buying some hydraulic log lifter ,it just totally does my head in how much these big companies charge for things that most of us with a little help could make ,so Mr Forest if you want to get together and have a go at making some extensions come on down we have mig and tig welders a small bender ,all the kit to make them but unfortunately my welding is crap,can you weld. As always keen to hear your thoughts. Happy Christmas. Mark
-
Yep I think I totally agree
-
Ah thanks Agri I haven’t yet put the callipers on the rails but now I know the rails are bloody Chinese imperial that I have never even heard of ,I will probably just buy the woodland one ,and there was me thinking a few days with my mate doing some welding and I would have a mill extension. Thanks guys Happy Christmas
-
Hi doobin , I was just looking on woodland mills web site and for my hm130 the extension is £360 plus vat ,and for some angle ,box sections and a few other bits seems expensive to me ,that’s why I was wondering if anybody else had made their own .
-
Hi guys so thinking about an extension to my mill bed to mill longer butts so my question to anybody who has done this did you just buy an extension from Woodland Mills or did you just buy some angle iron and make your own ,making my own is kinda the way I am thinking about going,but as always keen to hear your thoughts. Thanks Mark

Hi ,oak and sweet chestnut,but not beech ,we have a bandmill and an Alaskan Mill but we are in Dorset but if you can’t find someone local it would be a cool busmans holiday,we could do the boardwalk as well as the milling P M if you get stuck Happy Christmas. Mark

Oh yeah I know all about spindle moulders I have one I have used once in 6 yrs I would like to get a 4 sided planner hopefully when we get 3 phase one might come along cheap.

Hi what did you use to do the tongue and groove was it a spindle moulder?

Hi guys reading this thread with interest and I noticed that someone said any fruit wood is good for bows I have a quite straight bit of plum if that’s any use ,I will take some pictures of it tomorrow! I would like to have a go at a bow myself but I have so many things that I already want to do so if it’s any use it would be cool to see someone do something with it Cheers Mark
-
Yep nice flooring I bet it looks stunning when done ,how long did you dry the boards for,before you machined them ,hopefully I will be posting loads of milling pics now I have my mill set up just need the band guide bearings,Nice floorboards , I could do with some,we live in what they call Social Housing and just threw the bathroom fitters out ,the flooring they did is 1mm thick ,a F###ing joke ,sorry for derailing your thread .
-
Hi plus I would need £1250 spare to buy it with but unfortunately I don’t
-
Hi we have a big oak that we are going to do just that with I will post some pics when we do it .
-
Hi Thanks well spotted but I really don’t want to pay that kind of money it’s more that the machine cost me ,hopefully something will come up .
-
Hi just down the road from me is a small yew forest that apparently was planted for bow making ,obviously nobody’s managed it for that for yrs and yrs,if I get a chance I will take the dog for a run there and have a look,I know it’s miles but if you want to come and have a look then no worries
-
Hi no it’s not a factor trailer but now having seen those photos I might be able to do the same I will have to have a look at the trailer. Thanks Mark
-
Hi yep Stephen Cull is the man or if you are near Dorset try Davenport Saws
-
So guys how do you clamp your mill to the trailer when you are taking it to a job I have been thinking about how to clamp it but thought I would ask others what they do Thanks Mark
