Hi so doing a bit of a clear out at home I came across a big bag of T Lights ,and obviously at the yard I have more off cuts than I know what to do with ,so does anyone hear make T Light holders do they sell are they worth buggering around with I dont like them myself but if I can make a few quid or would I be better off giving them away ,just thought I would see what everyones thoughts are . Cheers. Mark

You could try drilling a hole up the inside of it in the middle it may release some of the tension inside on relief carvings we used to carve slots down the back to stop cracking .

So what will happen with those Greenheart beams that were pulled out I dont suppose there is any chance of a couple of them coming down south I would love enough to make a dining table its one of my fave timbers

Its a real shame that they are not worth the time and hassle that old kit is so well made my big thicknesser is older than me and is still going strong .

Got to be worth a grand just for the saw I dont get this it aint as powerfull but hey,I have an 880 with only 5/6 hrs use on it got as a replacement after we were burgled and there is no way I would let it go for under a grand but thats what I think other people will think different but they aint perfect like me

Milling Greenheart the only timber my 880 and Alaskan bounced off normally the chain will feed itself into the cut but Greenheart I had to kinda propper make it cut into it but when it was in the cut it wasnt too bad ,comes up real nice put through a planer .I would defo have a go at milling some more but not enough to build a house though but a nice dining table would be cool

Where to buy 1inch spacers / firring strips
gobbypunk replied to hamilton32's topic in Milling Forum
I was lucky to get a heap of 1inch pine shelving come out of a doctors just in the skip ran that through the table saw but ran out of that now so when I am milling Cedar I will cut a few inch boards and leave them dry they work out ok but its bonkers how many stickers I have cut ,if I came across some recycled plastic at an inch thick nice and cheap I would be tempted to make some out of that but would need to be cheap ,there may even be a company somewhere that has something like 1x1 plastic off cuts now that would be cool -

It might be worth talking to your local demolition company to see it they have any old houses coming down or sports halls etc they may let you reclaim the boards ,there is an add in our local face ache marketplace for reclaimed maple flooring from squash courts £10 sq meter I think .pallet wood floor would be cool but it takes ages to de nail and sand nice maybe a cheap thicknesser would be a good buy we did an off licence for our mate from pallet wood took an age but looked ace

At the Est I look after we have a Honda 4stroke strimmer and its over 20yrs old and we only kinda look after it and that revs real well hardly uses any oil and is totally the best strimmer I have ever used for sure ,so I spose they could use a similar set up in a saw I wonder why Honda didnt but hey if it aint broke why try and fix it

A long time ago I looked into teaching Chainsaws with my mate and as far as we could find out and this was from where I did my ticket if you have the ticket yourself you can teach one to one but things may have changed

Hi not sure where all the Chainsaw Carvers have gone I dont hardly do any since I broke my ankle real bad all the off cuts on the floor make it kinda difficult sadly but not sure where everyone else has gone.
