That looks like a nice bit of kit but bet it’s expensive as it’s wood mixer ,I was offered a 4ft wide planer thicknesser by someone on hear a few yrs back but didn’t have the money unfortunately wonder if he still has it , just sorted a deal on a 25 inch thicknesser but can’t have it till November and will need a 3phase converter or genny if anybody has one they don’t want.

Thanks mate , I have just ordered some nylon bushes for the uprights on the saw carriage as it’s quite wobbly only £30 so I think a service and new bushes,bearings,blade then it’s just a learning curve. Thanks Mark

Hi I think we should get in touch with the minister for trade and say hey we want the same tools available hear ,I remember it was the same with crash helmets, the Simpson Starwars was tested to drag racing standards in the US and at the time were stricter than the road safety standards hear but they were banned now they are everywhere even that bloody guy the Stig has one .

So like quite a lot of you I expect I watch Building Alaska and shows like it ,on a few of them I see them using power tools that are just not available in this country I just seen a chainsaw attachment for a circular saw for cross cutting big beams ,why is it that we can’t buy things like that hear .

Hi the first thing I would do is remove the bark there is an ugly wood boaring beetle that loves oak bark and sapwood ,and the general rule of thumb is an inch a year plus a year so 3 yrs for a 2 inch board but depending on what you want to make a shorter drying time may work

Hi Mr Slabber ,no the joinery can be a simple as you want or are able to do !you could just use coach bolts and screws ,you can get black coach screws from eBay and make a feature of them easy peasy
-
Yep sticky as and heavy but amazing boards , I have a load of monkey puzzle that I got a few months back can’t wait to Mill the rest of it ,the sections with the branches are worth it but the rest will probably be quite plain,there should be some photos of some shelves I did for my daughter in the woodcraft forum, so I would say get it and mill it .
