Hi guys , as the title says my workshop got done over my 880 sthil and Alaskan Mill , 5 other saws all my power tools , and when I phoned the fucking old bill they wouldn’t even send anybody to do fingerprints apparently from central government only dwellings get fingerprints done , why do I pay my tax

-
Yeah I like those rails some adjustable spikes in the middle would be good , one thing I noticed was he had both hands on the mill so what was holding the throttle on .

Hi looks similar to the grandberg ones that Rob D sells but they bolt onto the bar , I have one and it’s ace for my longer chains , good bit of kit .

Hi is that just a celotex box outside to the elements

Hi I always do the stem first working upside down , then turn it upright and shape the top bit start quite big as it will give you more wood to work with getting it to a shape you are happy with , take small cuts off so you don’t make a catastrophic mistake, good luck Cheers Mark
-
Hi same as Bill , do you have a grinder with a backing pad and like 24grit discs if not I would defo get one , good luck Cheers Mark
-
Are they getting the bear done ?
-
Hi , I have total freedom to do whatever sat down , standing up , with cubs all up to me and the butt will get delivered to my yard , I was thinking if I do a laying down or on all 4 legs it would be a lot easier to move , standing on hind legs a crane or slew to move it but all fours just a tractor . Thanks Mark

Hi guys I have been asked to quote for carving a bear out of some redwood it’s about 17/20ft tall I haven’t done anything that big before I was thinking £2500/3000 would you say that is about right , as always I appreciate your answers Cheers Mark
-
Hi guys I think it maybe what James pepper pop said as the butt is quite fluted and if the mill was running on an upward curve , but will obviously resharpen , dress the bar etc and let you all know how I get on Cheers Mark
-
Hi guys no the bar hasn’t seen that much action , would a slack chain cause my problem
-
Hi guys , I was doing my first bit of milling after my accident milling some western red got the first cut done ok then on the second the mill started to rise up from the face of the log , at the power head end I have never had this happen before ,as always your thoughts are appreciated Thanks Mark
-
Same as above where is it and what do you want for it Cheers Mark

I was thinking coast redwood , I was in a garden the other day delivering a bench and they had one bigger than the one in the photos a real gem it’s not often I wish I was a climber but that one the view would have been amazing . What’s the plan for the boards what are you going to make Cheers Mark
