Can you not get bands made up the length you need ,Stephen Cull The Blade Master may be able to help as it goes I have 3 new bands that dont fit anything I have if you let me know how long you need them to be I will measure and if they will fit yours you can have them also try Davenport Saws Yeovil they may be able to help a mini ripper 37 if such a thing exists would be good for green timber sorry cant help any more than that

My mate will do chainsaw carving in shorts and crocks but he is mad ,any use of a chainsaw you should were PPE I dont always but it can go so wrong so quickly if I am doing a lot of chainsaw work I will put chaps or trousers on but just cutting 1 log in half not so much but it always gives me the gibies

So answered my own question and yes any timber can be used but Cedar is the preferred choice and its not Sugi Ban Mia like I thought its Shou Sugi Ban .It will be the new year before we are ready to have a go. We have been given a couple WRC logs so hopefully all good will post some pics of the build.looking forward to building this Tiny Tiny House
-
So we just bought a small trolley thing and going to build a childs size wagon type thing ,we have some coast redwood for the cladding and was wondering if we can do Sugi Ban Mia on it or is there a certain type of timber only . Thanks. Mark

Some bow ties a bit of resin and a metal frame underneath and no worries
-
Those boards would make a stunning table and at that size you could just leave it outside to crack and move and it would just add to its rustic charm

Hi sadly carvings will crack but using a timber that’s less prone to cracking try western red cedar or any cedar or redwood relief cuts kinda only work on carvings you can get get away with doing it or on relief carvings as you can put them on the back ,if you are going to paint your carvings use a wood stain instead you can get it in all colours,Keep at it try different products and timbers and you will find the ones that work for you but a lot of us carvers do try and use Cedar as it just doesn’t crack as much as other timbers saying that I have the first Bear I carved he is in my front garden and he is done in cedar but had one crack down his belly another trick is leave your finished carving before treating it let the cracks appear then try and work them in with the texture if the carving will allow for it I must get the carving saw out haven’t carved anything for a long time

-
So I had a load of Redwood sawlogs and just the one started to sprout and grow so does anybody know if I can just cut the bits out of the log and plant it just like a cutting from a spider plant

Hi Saul hows things ,I have some Black Limba if your client is into guitars its ment to be real tonal and ace for instruments I have 6x6 beams of it but can happily mill it into thin boards if wanted ,just thought I would mention it hope you are doing ok I also have a big Cherry Tree to mill as soon as I get round to it
-
I like the Granberg one I got from Rob D yrs ago for those big milling chains and I have a cheap grinder from Lidl that my mate gave me I use that for knackered chains but my go to is always a file with a guide
-
Yeah the old bill are just useless unless its sending out speeding fines our workshop was broke into we had time ,description of the van and that was quite unusual and still all we got was sorry we dont attend comercial break ins any more ,and as for the insurance company I would ring them and ask if they want to sell it to you as the storage and security charges are starting to get quite high and you are concerned that it may get stolen again if they sell it to you cheap then I am sure somebody on hear would have a deal with you or they come and get it either way you get it gone
-
Some will be on show and if I have enough I may clad some of the walls inside ,I want it to mainly built with reused / reclaimed materials
-
So I should be getting a big old trailer base to build a living wagon on I have some 3x2 CLS for some of the framing but not enough but I should have some Coast Redwood left over from a cladding job ,now I gave never built a wagon before so the only question I have is can I use green timber for the framing or will it move too much ,its not going to be your run of the mill thing its going to look like it just came from a Mad Max film on the outside got parts of a 1950's bus to use , but real nice inside once done it will be for sale I will take photos along the way ,wish me luck as I prob will need it
-
