Fake Major Brand Name Sawmill Advice Please
gobbypunk replied to akslocombe's topic in Milling Forum
Does the mill work has it been deemed safe to use could you not tidy up some of the welds remove the sticker and sell on , you could also go see the bloke who sold it to you and advise him that giving you your money back would be very good for his health and well being , I hate con men , could you not just use the saw just a few options I could think of I hope you get it all worked out do keep us posted on what happens Regards Mark -

Just wanted to show you one of my recent chainsaw carvings - the limb had cracked off a 600 year old yew and the customer wanted a chair carved out of it. He's decided to put it in his conservatory now to preserve the wicked colours of the wood. Cheers for looking!
