Anyone interested in milling this Butt end is 4 foot wide, 8 foot long then another 8 foot length and a few smaller logs Customer wants to keep some of the timber so is willing to pay to have it milled I felled the tree for them but it’s a bit too big for me to have a go at milling it ! Thanks Will

It’ll look the same again in a couple of years time

Is that an old Jonsered?
-
Definitely someone pulling too hard
-
Will do. If it is does that mean a new bar? I’ll try and get some pics tomorrow

Cheers rough, I thought it was my sharpening! Might have to invest in a grinder, need a shed first thou! At the moment I only have a outdoor workbench
-
Milling some oak today, it’s a bit rotten but hopefully be some usable timber. Why am I getting a rough finish on the cut, is it the way I sharpen? Saw cuts fine across the grain!

Turning old wood from a shed into neat firewood
Will Heal replied to NS2002---'s topic in Firewood forum
Used to cut up a lot of wood with nails in it with my dad, we just used a saw horse and chainsaw try and spot the nails first! -
I would go with the 170, nice simple little saw, I had no problems with mine, I used to use it for hedgelaying

Anyone fancy milling an oversize log South East Wales?

Don’t think my 2” Alaskan would cope with that [emoji53] -
Having a barbi tonight, if I had my way I’d cook outside most of the summer

That old Jonsered, skip tooth chain on a 36 inch bar and an Alaskan sawmill. Biggest boards there are 24 inch wide
-
Was hopingthey might become splated but probably not. Need to cover them from the sunlight and paint the ends as well
-
That saw milled the lot. Good old saw!
-
Milled these beech boards up last week. I haven’t stickered them yet but was wondering weather to bother, maybe I’ll get some nice spalting?

Looks like their are pros and cons to which ever way you deal with brash. But leaving it onsite in piles is good for wildlife, and perhaps cheaper for the customer than a long drag. Some interesting points on this thread though
-
I’ve been thinking about this recently as well. Piling the brash onsite is the the best option as it rots down slowly and realises carbon slowly, it also creates anature pile good for the bugs, if you can’t then a bonfire is carbon neutral as you are not burning any fossil fuels, taking the brush away on a trailer then nature piling it would be next best but who has the space in a yard for that, taking it away on a trailer and burning it of site is probably releases less carbon than chipping and removing but you’re not supposed to do it, chipping onsite saves a bit of diesel carting it home. We need to make chipping and removing the exception, not the norm
-
Thanks for that, I’ll let him know
-
Pictures might help!

A friend of mine planted some lime trees a couple of years ago and this year they have developed black spots on the leaves, he would like to know what it is and if he can do anything about it, Thanks Will
-
It’s only a medium sized ash, basic rigging gear could be just an old climbing line, use the trees crotches for friction or wrap around the trunk. That’s as complicated as it needs to be. You could add in a pulley at the top so you can pull cut branches up if need be

Background to the HSE decision on two rope working
Will Heal replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Training & education
So this means that when I’m climbing and pruning a small apple tree in Mrs miggins garden I will need to have two anchor points at all times and a third when I’m cutting? What is the point of that? I’ve been there done this when I worked for SSE and it just frustrates me and other climbers. It should be the climbers choice if he/she wants to use two lines -
If your planting them that big I wouldn’t have thought they need a shelter, that is a different way of planting trees but if it work then great [emoji106]!
