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

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

Hi Bill , that ladder looks like it has a bend in it and there are not many wedges between the ladder and log this might allow the ladder to bow as you put weight on it, might be the cause.

The thing is the F###ing plod have time any money to pot up at where the speed limit changes coming into my village , it’s a small village no boy racers so the only reason I can see for them to be there to catch small builders , average people doing a few miles over the limit , I have a description of the van a name of a suspect and still nothing from the plod but if me and my mates catch up with this little c##t and give him what he deserves I run the risk of getting nicked , it is a sign of the times we live in more stuff getting chored , but if the pod can’t or wouldn’t do anything about we have to have the right to look out for our expensive tools somethings got to give how many of us on hear have been robbed , too many anyway rant over but I bet you all agree with me
