Hi folks, finally got a few spare minutes to share some pics of the bench I made from some Cedar of Lebanon I was lucky enough to be given. I'll finish it off with some pegs when it gets sold but until then I need to be able to take it apart to move it. Hopefully it won't be too long before it finds a good home so I don't have to lug it round loads of fairs!

Hi guys the thing is I prob have all or most of what I would need to to do the work , and the thing is I have room in the yard but not inside so I need a waterproof box and just thaught it would do until I can afford something better as I need to be able to dry my planks any other very cheep ways of getting a box sorted I am all ears Cheers Mark

Hi guys I a while ago I got myself an arrow smith drying unit and have been looking for a place to build a box for it to go in but no space in my workshop and I just cant afford a shipping container or an old freezer box , so was thinking about using an old caravan board over the windows cut a big door in the end remove all the stuff inside , way to go , now the question is do you think it will work , it will be some work but should all the bits and pices I will need , looking forward to your thaughts Thanks Mark

Nice big saw coool , but a sprocket nosed bar should be a must , I was getting alot of chain tension probs with my 880 with a 4 ft bar with a solid nosed bar until Rob D sorted me with a sprocket nosed bar (thanks Rob) just passing on my experiences , good luck milling is addictive Happy Christmas Mark
