Funny thing is though my dog is only on guard dog mode when he is in our van anywhere else and he is just a big soppy

Hi we have a SIP mig with an argon mix from our auto spares shop everyone who has used it says it’s one of the best welders they have used , I am not good at welding sculpture I can do , and I find it an easy machine to use , my mate has a warrior inverter mig and that’s a lot harder to get on with , if you are near Shaftesbury Dorset come and have a go see what you think Cheers Mark

gobbypunk replied to AndyChalmers's topic in Milling Forum
If you have the cash defo buy it you can always buy in saw logs for cladding , and if you keep it in good nic you can always sell it on when done but I bet you don’t milling is addictive , I have been trying to get the money together for a mill but not had a good year , go for it good luck -
Do you think it may be the weight of the power head as I have noticed a very slight bow and taking the weight off the power head solved it , just a thought Cheers Mark

Funny all these negative comments I am sure I have read posts on hear with people saying it’s ok for furniture and has cool grain pattern I am sure I have seen some photos of some stunning looking boards of turkey oak , be cool to slab a few boards to see what it’s like then carve the rest into a bench .

Hi guys how many of you like me suffer from white finger , quite a few I expect so I have been using anti vibe gloves ( when I can find them Ha ha ) but they have now worn out and I have been looking at getting some new ones but price ranges from a £10 to £50 and they don’t look that different so before I buy any thought I would find out what everyone else thinks , or buys Thanks Mark
