Yeah something like that would be a god send in my yard for sure but everything I see like that is stupid money
-
Yeah was thinking OSMO UV or a water based lacqure ,wax polish would be cool but it would take so long to do
-
Hi yeah first cut all the boards the same width,then thicknessed then surface planed one side then orbital 120 grit then half lapped the edges so by that stage the edges only needed a quick go with the hand sandpaper so in all a big job and cutting round the plug sockets and windows was a bit of a ball ache ,but not sure what finish to go with .Glad you like it a bit of a shame it didnt get many comments though
-
With a bit of notice,Paul Courage at Hazelbury yeah we know he can be a funny bugger didnt speak to me for yrs but all good now.

Hi Jon where did you get them from should have asked me for some but a shame you didn’t have time to pop in ,our cladding is Coast Redwood so it’s very pink and white but not sure what the treatment to use on it

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 .
-
Hi not used that one but have other Arbotech attachments and to be honest they just aint that good ,the Ball Cutter is crap and I think we have another 2 things they just stay in the box ,if you want I can take a vid of them in use or if you are

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 -
