I'm sure it's been mentioned in the past, but I've searched and can't find any links for a company in the UK who produce their own blades to fit a lucas mill (10"), as opposed to using genuine ones from Fuelwood Ltd. Can any one help out? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Arbtalk mobile app

It looks pretty fast growing by the ring spacing, which would have me suspecting turkey oak or similar, but take a cut and sniff Sent from my GT-I9505 using Arbtalk mobile app

Today's work, a fantastic Burred oak butt , 58" diameter milled to 6" slabs with bog all room to spare on the lucas mill. The outer slabs looked like all the cats in the neighbourhood had danced all over them. The centre ones only had a few 'paw print ' marks. The JCB loader was on its nose trying to lift it. - We were on our knees trying to get the slabs on to the forks getting them off .

Aahh that makes sense. I've been educated again. Shaun Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app

I don't understand why? Surely its more flexible just turning the bucket round as we've been doing for years. If you need a loading shovel its normally for speed and capacity, - why start with an excavator Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app

The chain's still there, just hard to spot as its now rusty brown in colour.

Picking up rounds with tongs in each hand way more efficient than one log in both hands. Always a positive grip on logs. No resin covered hands.......... I'm a new convert from the sappie that often pops out when your really heaving hard and ya end up sat on ya are hoping that no one saw it !

Yep, you'll get the lucas mill through 1.2 gap Sent from my GT-I9505 using Arbtalk mobile app

Hey it's just shown again, but noticed some script missing. Turned screen on its side and there was the rest of the words including the sure thing rate now option. So your pop up isn't sorting itself out for screen orientation ! Shaun Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app

I keep getting a pop up box this morning, asking me to rate the app. Asks me if don't want to, or if I want to rate later , but doesn't give a rate now option . Seems a weird couple of choices . Never seen this one before, but disappears on next click so not an issue. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app

My 066 does this same scenario, but at all times. The stop/choke control rod is worn and doesn't operate the half throttle position properly. With a bit of jiggling I can get it to almost work, but I usually end up applying the chain brake, resting my knee on the top cover to restrain the saw, and squeezing the trigger whilst pullin the starter. I must invest in a new control rod one day !!! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app

Dragging, compressing stones into the bark and branch unions, pressure Washing and more sharpening add time and cost to the sawmillers bill. Better to keep em clean in the first place. Keeps me happy which keeps the client happy. So you've heard about our rain? - a very particular type indeed !! Shaun http://www.sawmilling.ie

Carlos, obviously we've both suffered helpful west cork fellas dragging trees about and making life hell afterwards. The "ooooohh no, don't do it" response just leaps out. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app

Believe me , if you're thinking of milling , the last thing you need is anyone, least of all a farmer dragging sawlogs about. Any sort of digger lifting the bulk of the log cleanly is far more preferable to spend hours sharpening because of mud and stone encrusted logs. Well meaning farmers with poor log handling techniques are the bane of my life. Diggers on site make my job a dream. Shaun Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app

Cripey, wish I could even stay awake til midnight these days. However did we manage to dance all night, most of the early morning and still do a day's work afterwards. Oh the speed was good then! ;-);-) Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app

There's five years of my life missing from my memory for some strange reason! I know I had a crazy mad time though. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app

I'd certainly be interested to know how you get on with this idea/project. Ive been bouncing a similar idea around for a while, for a loading carrying unit for sawlogs into my lucas mill, with good off road capability and to look as ugly as possible.

I really hate being shot in the legs with stones or brash chippings, especially the ones with thorns still attached, and on lighter growth the guard does help to act as a sort of cutting anvil rather than winding it into a rope and then killing the blade speed. So a nuisance though they are, I prefer a guard in place. My blade of choice though is the 3 legged mulcher, as heavy a blade as the machine will spin. Mass is the key for destruction.

Following on from this on a very slight derail, does anyone have any good tips for blade guards. Smashing through light brush, gorse and briars, cracks and fractures the genuine , plastic guards on my 43cc kawasaki with annoying and expensive regularity. Any suggestions for good durable ( and cheap ) guards ? I've already tried the thin flimsy metal jobs that twist around the shaft and feed themselves into the blade.
