Hi guys, so I have a new 880 I sort of ran it in then its been used 10 times or so, today milling some field maple I noticed chain oil leaking from the tension screw is it just pumping a lot of oil and as its a hot day the oil is thin so leaking or do you think I have a problem, not taken it apart yet just thought I would ask Thanks Mark

Hi guys, so after milling some of the monkey puzzle my bar and mill are covered in very sticky sap, white spirit wouldn't touch it soap and water wouldn't touch it I don't want to just scrape it and put horrible scratches on everything so any ideas Thanks in advance Mark

Hi I have been using it an d so far so good I haven’t yet given anything a good whomp with it yeth jit works ace with chisels, Hi Steve what one of those woods you mentioned would you choose for a mallet head Cheers Mark

Hi K, naw as the head is the wrong way round I will just use it till it breaks then make a new head that’s the right way round , and then put some bands round it if I need to it would look cool with bands round it though ,brass may look cool with the green heart , I would like an old Lignum bowling ball to make a mallet head out of ,or some iornwood Cheers Mark

Or if you can get it use greenheart it polished up really nicely and they use it for pier pilings so is ace in and around water a carpenter I know made a spiral staircase out of it that descended to a swimming pool it was stunning

You could always resin coat it and then no worries you could use what you like

Looking good it’s going to be ace when done , liking the gantry crane I could do with one of those in my yard

Hi Jon that’s what it looks like I will end up doing we do have a big wood burner in the workshop so it will not go to waist, but it’s quite rare so thought somebody might want it especially for Free
-
Yes but have you ever seen gangs of bright red worms , worming their way across your yard , I know it’s bloody stupid but it’s been bugging me for yrs How do the little buggers get there
-
But how do they get under logs sat on concrete
-
Oh no don’t make it into 2 inch big chunky coffee table just cut off enough for 2 legs hidden casters so you can move it , big mortise and tenon joints it would be ace
-
Ha ha ha but I don’t want a house full of worms bloody dropped the iPad and it bounced off the coffee table it still works at the mo but not sure how long it will last
-
Alright I did say it was stupid I will take some pics , bloody dropped my IPad and cracked the screen real bad, that was stupid as well need another one if anyone has one they want to part with
-
So at the risk of sounding totally daft ,here goes ....so, my yard is concrete so why, if I have to move a log that’s been there for a while (especially upright) why are there always worms underneath??? I never see stealth worms wriggling across the yard, they don’t live in the bloody log so where do they come from??? how do they get there??? are they really an alien intelligence that’s mastered teleporting, just waiting their time to change shape and take over ....or am I reading too much science fiction???
-
If you ain’t going to be happy with it don’t use it or you might always think why the f##k did I use that it would make an ace coffee table
