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
-
Thanks guys ,fucking police wouldn’t even come and fingerprint , and the woman said look on eBay etc I thought that was there job catching burglers , but don’t have many photos of my kit but got serial numbers from my 880 , if anybody on hear has a spare milling saw , please give me a shout

Hi guys , that old saying it never rains but pours is so right , just getting over my accident and get a phone call this morning from one of our colleagues our workshop has been done over , my 880 and Alaskan 2 sthil 024 , the list is long all my f##king kit , rang the fucking old bill and hear have a crime number would not even send anybody to fingerprint apparently they only attend if it is a dwelling , gutted my insurance has lasted as I just didn’t have the cash after not working for 6 months don’t know what else to say at the mo still hasn’t sunk in properly

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 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

Sorry Sir just on my way. Ha Ha Ha ha the best reply so far

Some are the same hear , I had A very safe park up in a car park of a closed cold storage unit I was living in a convenient 7and half tonne box lorry , I kept an eye on the garage at night and the garage kept an eye on my truck in the day when I was at work , then one day an Irish couple pulled their caravan on and their kids were all over my rig a couple of hours later more arrived trying to block me in I had to threaten to drive through a caravan to get out of there , so no not all travelers are nice folk just like people who live in just please don’t judge first not every traveller is a thieving scum bag just like not every black person who lives on an estate sells crack . I Do think we should just close this topic enough saiid I think
-
Well said Eggs , but I haven’t had been called Gobby for the last 30yrs for no reason, Time for a cold one I thinks , waiting for my mate to come and give me a lift to look at a new van coming back from the first show I have done since my accident in January got some orders on the books and my van blows up must be due some good luck soon Cheers All

I Tell you what guys I am getting totaly fed up with all this F###ing Shite , I still class myself as a traveler even though I live in bricks It really really saddens me to hear all this narrow minded bullshit Nobody F###ing ever bought anything from me and had a complaint can’t you all just wake up and smell the coffee , it’s the government, the bankers who are having us all over every day . Take a look in the sky at all those long lines that look like noughts and crosses the sky never looked like that when I was in my 20,s they are spraying heavy metals, chem trails , slowly insidiously killing us our kids our planet , we should all be sticking together to try and live together work together play together give it a try who knows you might learn something, This will probably be one of my last posts I thought we had a community on hear how F###ing wrong was I
