Hi guys , my new partners at my yard are just undertaking a D Fir timber frame build and I am interested in what he is doing he has a 6 mar span and is trying to use 6x2s but he has 3 joins that are just bolted with coach bolts as soon as I saw it I did say to him it wouldn’t work now he is trying to brace it up with like 2mm strips of steel , in my mind he needs to start again with some bigger beams what do you all think is there like any guide lines for timber frame work , if it was me it would be like 4x6 at least .

Hi I think that’s a good idea , one idea a fellow Arab talker mentioned to me when I had my accident was like an insurance type thing hear on arbtalk say we all put in a tenner and then buy some saws and invest the rest when one of us gets burgled or has an accident then there would be some help , like a saw to borrow until you can get a new one etc you get the picture what do you think , back to the monkey puzzle my mate who runs a sawmill is probably going to help me with it if I am lucky I might even get it milled on a woodmizer in with the deal
-
Hi Jon already asked a mate who has a hi ab lorry if he will move it for me just waiting for him to get back to me , I just thought it would be nice to share .
-
Oh god yeah the other side of the country almost , shame , hopefully someone will be up for it.
-
Hi guys so nobody wants to go shares on this monkey puzzle, bloody hell I really thought somebody would pitch in so it doesn’t get ringed up for firewood
-
Oh yeah will be totally looking after myself, last week after I got over the sawdust in my eyes , I then had some bug sitting on the bog throwing up in the bath , but better now thank F##k

Hi the best person to speak with is Rob D from Chainsaw Bars he is a font of knowledge on bars and chains . Cheers Mark
-
Hi look out for chain tension issues with the solid nosed bar I had loads of probs until Rob D recommended a sprocket nosed bar then way to go no more chain tension issues , but good luck and have fun , milling is ace when you first turn over that slab and see what the grain is like F###ing Cool as , do post some pics Cheers Mark

What are those goggles from Sthil like I will have a look for them , one thing Optrex is sort of expensive and don’t last that long , it’s mostly whitch hazel and sterile water , it would be cool to make my own but how much whitch hazel to mix in anybody know a herbalist
-
My Airshield pro is the dogs bolox for keeping shit out of my eyes and lungs , it was just a quick helping hand didn’t even think , but on the mend , I was just wondering if I am accident prone my girlfriend is saying I have more mishaps than anybody she has ever known, so I got to wondering what mishaps everyone else suffers , Thanks guys
-
I do normally wear my air shield even when using the table saw , only just turned around to help my mate , and don’t worry I will look out for tank transporters
-
Hi guys , I must be one of the most accident prone people in the whole country , in the workshop on Friday wax polishing benches all day , helped a mate run some ply through the table saw 2 small strips woke up on Saturday itchy eyes , and a little bit light sensitivity, went and moved some rubbish for a friend by the time I get back from walking my dog at 4:30 ish my eyes were bloody killing me hardly slept over 2hrs waiting in A and E Sunday morning , bloody scratches on my eyeballs , gloopy cream to put in my eyes , a bit better this morning , but ordered to stay off work, Is it just me or do any of you lot have things like this happen , my ankle, stuff in my eyes a few times or am I cursed was I Atilla the Hun or somebody like him in another life and paying in this one ,A very fed up Gobby

Hi everyone sorry was trying to take some better photos but my phone went flat , one day I will get it together with technology but obviously not today
-
Here are some better pictures hopefully
-
Hi total bargin as long as it all checks out , I know it goes without saying but start it up before parting with any beer tokens
-
Hi yeah I know what you mean, I now have both the 880 and the 076 it would be cool to do some massive double ended milling but don’t know if I can justify the expense on a bar I would only use a few times
-
Hi I have a 076av for sale I bought it from Bill on hear after my workshop got done over but before I could use it I was lucky enough to get a brand new 880 so the 076 has just sat in the cupboard under the stairs it has a 110cc engine ideal for milling p m if you are interested, I am in Dorset coke and have a go if you want no worries Cheers Mark

Thanks Drew , I have just been given 2 new microwave transformers so as soon as I get a chance I will remake my setup and see if I can produce a big long burn I will try and take a vid of it happening. I also have to warn everyone this Fractle Burning, can and will totaly F##k up your day if you get it wrong , be careful and defo DO NOT hold the rods like you may see some very stupid people mainly Americans I think doing . Will post some pics and a vid as soon as I get a mo Cheers Mark

Hi guys here is the coffee table almost finished, it's just had its first coat of asmo hope you all like it Cheers Mark, sorry it looks like the photos are upside down
-
Hi pay the quoted grand and tell him to get F###ed
-
Hi guys one thing I have been wondering is most of these fractles are quite small if I was to connect 2 transformers together would they go twice as deep and twice as far imagine a big bench or dinning table with fractles stretching all the way in one go keen to hear your thoughts Cheers Mark
