    Hi Chainsaw milling isnt hard to learn how to do and a small log mill will not cost you loads Rob D on hear is your man for those ,you can go down to an inch or two and then resaw if you need smaller and it is good fun milling but be warned its addictive , post some pics of your builds when you get going on them good luck Mark

    Hi Mike no I cut the ends to length then measured and cut out the slots one by one then with the back slotted in I carefully shaped the ends with my carving saw , the sanding took the longest if you get the slots nice and tight there should be no need for screws or pegs of any kind . Thanks for all your kind comments and do post some pics of yours if you do one cheers Mark

    Hi it all depends on how much money you want to spend you could get youself an alaskan mill I expect you already have a big saw so not a big outlay if you are anywhere near dorset you are more than welcome to come and have a go on mine to see how you like it , Rob D on hearis your man for alaskan mills and rippingchains , give chainsaw milling a go and if then you want to step up to a mobile band mill maybee look out for a good used one , but be warned milling is addictive , P M me if you want to come and have a go Cheers Mark

    Hi All! Just finished a job for St. Andrews School in Salisbury, which gave me the opportunity of making some nice chunky rustic furniture as they wanted a bench, a prayer box and a big cross (C of E Primary School!) to go in their new outdoor chill out spot. Each piece is made out of a different type of wood - the bench is oak, prayer box is spalted beech and the cross is cedar of leb.
