  1. this was just a small oak log that we chucked through it just to go to show that it would have been chopped up for fire wood and got £10 for it but we milled it up in to a few 6x1 by4 foot and now the price has gone up on it to either price of the oak boards or to whatever you make out of them i will try and get some videos up i cant find any on my computer at the mo

  3. im on about the woodlands mill
  4. hi i have a company that sells firewood and we also have a sawmill which often leads us to going out collecting felled trees that usually are spotted from our van and also a few companies have been asking us to remove the felled timber on their sites . we never fell trees just cut them up on the floor and put them on our trailer or van. my question is there a license that we need to have for doing this kind of work as i would feel more comfortable knowing that we are as leagal as possible we dont fell any trees only collect wood that has been felled or damaged by weather thanks for any help and hope i havent sonuded too stupid as we are new to all this
  5. i have one of these and think they are great for the money. easy to use and maintain and everything that you adjust for settings i worked out quickly and i am very bad when it comes to mechanical stuff. i use things til they break and then pay people to fix them but ive been using this machine for approx 5 months and some weeks worked the guts out of it and its till going strong.ive millied some massive slabs of oak and yew on it and its coped well. if someone is thinking of buying one of these they are well worth the money and if you want to pop and see it in action your more than welcome to vist
  6. hi there im new to this forum but been reading on here for a while. i have a woodlands mill and used the logosol chainsaw kit aswell. and since ive got the woodlands mill life had got alot more easier.i was completely new to milling and i bought an alaskan mill to start off with and thought it was awesome then go fed up with sharpen chainsaw blades. then went to a farmer who i knew who had a logosol setup and was shocked by how easy it was to use and then thouht im saving up to get that then once i was using it with him i was reminded how annoying it is to sharpen chainsaw blades. then went to the apf show and seen alll the differnt mills there and i was going to get a woodmizer mill when someone who was in the crowd said about the woodlands mill are alot cheaper. so i ordered a woodlands mill and after setting it up and playing with it for a week or so we got the drop on it they are really easy to use and we got the drop on sorting the tracking adjust the cuts to make them straight and generally maintaining it which coming form me was a shock as im not mechanically minded. i aordered a pack of 10 blades for it which cost me 250 quid including vat from local blade store and he costs 6 quid a sharpen. ive now advertised myself as portable mill and have been getting a few jobs and really enjoying this mill. and i would say its paid its self back in the mnoney i have generated from it. and now we are saving up to get a lucas mill now
