10t riko trailer, the bed is about 4.5m, some wiggling to get this one on

That's the spot. We'll see how many we can get out before we make too much mess
-
Also a bit of English burr. That won't be going for chip! VID_20191018_151828.mp4

To follow up we've started knocking them over and I'm certainly enjoying felling between the rain. Here's a few pictures from the first week
-
Thanks. I got bored very quickly trying to look them up. ?
-
I found these beauties. Can anyone tell me what they are. I know nothing! Thanks
-
I'll have a closer look at the chain. That is how it was cutting with a box fresh chain tho. I figured it would be chain related but wanted your opinion. And the granberg sharpener is on my 'to buy' list. Thanks

What am I doing wrong? When slabbing with my Lucas mill I get a ripple left on the surface of the boards. This is with a new hyperskip chain from Rob d. It was the same after I sharpened it. It cuts nicely in other respects, I'd just like a smoother finish if possible. Should I take the chain from 10 degree angle to 0 degree? Or slow down in the cut? Or just live with a bit of extra sanding. Thanks for reading Graham

I'm just hoping to save a few trees from the chipper. The site is arranged and we are ready to go so if anyone wants some or knows of anyone else who might get in contact. We can load or arrange haulage on smaller loads if needed. I'll post some pics next week.

Thanks, very kind
-
I know this has been talked about before but we have a lot of turkey oak to clear, some cracking 3ft dbh stems. Is it worth trying to market a few lorry loads as cheap sawlog? (Does anyone know a company that might be interested?) Or should the stems just go with the chip. The site is in Surry
-
So dug up a laburnum stump and it had a reasonable burr on it. Any suggestions on what I should do with it? I don't have a lathe big enough to turn it cut could get some nice small planks. Or it's up for grabs if anyone really wants it
-
I'm also interested to hear how you got on with it. Graham

Thanks for the input guys, it has helped. But as I don't have much milling coming up I'm going to ignore the problem for a month and sort shipping to either Bennetts or Tewkesbury when I'm less busy. Some great info shared though so thank you for the input ?
-
I made it up. I just lined up two straight edges at floor height then table top heigh (all laying flat), layed my leg timber over those and put a pencil line on it. If that makes sense. Then copied it for the other end. 5 by 3 inch timber seems to be a nice chunky size for legs to me. The design was copied from something is saw here on arbtalk ?
-
Thanks for the kind comments. I'll be honest, I cheated fitting the top! I just used some 50mm 5mm thick angle iron and put some stainless steel bolts through the top and the legs. The boards are 3 years air dried but I knew they would move when the table is inevitably left in the sun so I didn't bother with anything fancy. I'll try to get a pic up soon Also the bolts mean the table is easily disassembled if it needs moving as it is well heavy

Thanks for the pointers. I'm in Sussex, I think your right,shipping them to Ireland would be counter productive. Powertools and fixings are the local company who can re tip any blades but I'm not sure they are the best to use. South East saws were recommended from someone else who has used them and could collect from my parents in Kent which is a real benefit. Also Ernest Bennett saws were recommended by fuelwood. Tewkesbury saw sounds the best, but don't cover my area for collection. Fuelwood recommended using branded Lucas tips, but no one I've spoken with seems to be interested in this idea, I have spoken with all the above companies (except Bennett) and all want to use their own stock tips. This is the first time I'm doing this. So I'm just hoping for a bit of first hand knowledge from you guys so I don't have to do it twice. Thanks for the input
-
Hi guys, I need to re tip some of my blades. There's a shop fairly local but just wondering who do you use? Mine is the 10 inch cut with 5 tips
-
A bit of redwood today. Nice 900mm slabs and plenty of dimensional stuff
-
My friends moved to a new place with a massive patio so I made a table for them and it. It's rustic and simple but turned out ok for my first piece bigger than a coffee table. 2.6m long, bit over 800mm wide and 50mm planks on top
