  1. Well worth spending the money on. I find it reduces body fatigue by about 70%.
  2. Good old Mora-Knives I see. I go through a brand new box of them a trip. Double Handled draw version.
  3. 10/40 does me.
  4. Why thank you. Im sure the vast majority will disagree though. (Do you mind if I wait till payday to send the cheque? ) No, no private education for me unfortunately, or maybe fortunately going by the stories my Dad told my Mum of his time at Boarding School. Council house born and raised.
  5. I’ve access to a 10m 30” Oak. Might be worth milling as is?
  6. Do you have fond memories looking at his tattoo's? Did he tell you stories about them, where he got them and why? If the answer is yes then perhaps it was all worth it after all? I used to have a 6 pack in my twenties, its a bit wobbly these days. Man, I wish I never bothered having that six pack, its a bit ugly now. Ive never bothered with a Tatoo myself, always fancied one but no idea what Id get. The closest I ever got was a traditional one when we where down in Tonga, but we ran out of days left of the holiday. Maybe one day.
  7. Maybe? I bought it used and was tuned/dialled in when I got it. It’s perfect for little jobs.
  8. I have one of these, they are all the same but mine is branded SIP. Very happy with mine for what it is. Dimensionally accurate and a lovely finish. Only good for hobby sized still though. I used it to plane up all the Oak for my wee ones Cot and her kitchen Steps, slats for beds etc. We've got a traditional cast iron 12" Planer/Thicknesser for chunky pieces.
  9. I have no if my renewal payment has been taken, Id have to ask my accountant, aka my Wife. But I have now had a customer through it and seems like he will be a recurring customer so its well paid for itself this year.
  10. Dont keep us in suspenders! Fill us in on the details.
  11. Burn them.
  12. This is on the HM126 page. I guess its as legal as any other trailer thats not over 750kg though; License for Highway Use Although it is sold as an off-road package. Road safety components are included to aid in the registration as a home-built trailer in your jurisdiction. Every province, state and country have different requirements and it is recommended to check with your region requirements.
  13. Would be surprising if its collapsed so soon though.
  14. What about the Torsion suspension?
  15. When its jacked is there any play in the wheel? The bearings could be shot? Also, is the Woodland Mills Trailer Road Legal? Im sure they are but at the back of my mind they where for carting around your land only.
  16. 8" beams and the drawings are mostly in my head. And worked around what beams I have available. Yeah got the Makita and it's a god send saves so much time. Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the pictures you post up. Some inspiration for me.
  17. Will be interesting to see if we actually find out what it sells for. Including the logs behind. Seems some folk cant read though....
  18. We should have a sweepie. Tenner in each, Op can tell us what the seller actually gets for it all, the closest takes all.
  19. Including all the logs behind? Maybe 3t worth? £160 a ton? Ok, maybe a bit much but will be interesting to see what it actually sells for.
  20. 'And the Breweries pay Marmite to remove this byproduct. Supply and demand.
  21. Doers it come with all the branches as well? Gotta be worth a punt at £500
  22. Yes, the spent Malted grain. Yes, animals love it. Yes the Breweries get paid for it, or give it away. Again, supply and demand. I brew All Grain all the time, not including the word Grain hardly makes a difference to the point.
  23. A byproduct of making beer is the spent malt. This is a waste product that is sold as animal feed. Like logs it can of course be given away for free. Supply and demand and all that.
  24. The 130 max is a bit of a game changer really. About the only mill in that price bracket that can mill 30" wide. Most Mills in that bracket can take a 30" Log (there abouts) but the Cant, ie the widest board you'll manage to cut is about 24", again, there abouts. Everyone who has a Woodlands Mill seems on the whole very happy with them. I believe the 130 max Saw head is Dialed in out the box, so really reduces build time. And who'd not want an extra 6"? Gobby Punk is currently setting up his 130 max, so Im sure he can fill you in on his first hand experiance. There are a few other 130 owners here and Im sure they will let you know how they got on maxing their Mills out with both hard and softwood. I'm not really sure what other Mills are available in that price bracket? Norwood after seeing what I can assume a sizable dent in their market share to Woodland Mills etc (a few other brands in the US in that bracket, ie Harbor Freight) have a Chinese build budget line now called Frontier. The OS31" can take a 31" log but the Cant is only 23". So a bit of a trade off there, but from a very well known Bandsaw Mill company. As Rough mentioned, you also have the Logosol B751 and B1001 Mills, but your jumping up a week bit in price. There is also Wood-Mizer and Norwood Mills to consider in this price bracket. If the 30" Cant is what you're looking for then there is no real competition in the Market to the HM130 Max just now. Not in that price range.
