Isopropanol Id assume.

Anyone else use washing-Up Liquid? @Big J suggested that to me when milling Larch etc. i use it all the time now. It also keeps the blade nice and clean. Ive also seen folk suggesting Car Wax Shampoo. Ive used this as well. The idea being you get the cleaning/cutting action of the Washing-up liquid but also the waxing properties to prevent rust on the blades etc. It seems to work too.

So Dave @Johnsond built me a cracking Aluminum Router Sled and Ive finally got around to using it. Milling an Oak Slab that will become a Headboard for a bed. Worked very well and the HDPE sliders are a great addition. '

Yeh, still waiting on that pic as well.

The only thing Les has proved is what a plonker he is. Still waiting on him posting a single picture of something he's actually made out of wood. Other than sanding two planks.

Health and Safety gone mad. Most likely some office goons bought himself a woodburner and decided to split his own logs and chopped his fingers off.

Thats 2-3days milling there. Id be a minimum of £720-£1080 but you're way to far away for me.

Ive seen a shed load of threads on folk in the US using the Farmtec G660's for Milling and putting an insane number of hours on them. One guy just posted on a FB group that his has died after 1800 hour of Milling. I have some Ash Slabs to mill in the near future and they are 36". Might get one as they are about $350.

Friend and Landlady sounds like either the best combo in the world or the worst.
-
@Big J has processor grade oak for sale. Might be good enough for fencing? Im busy milling Larch for Fencing. Its amazing how fast 10t disappears and what you have to show for it.
-
Slightly worried you noticed that and thought it was exciting enough to make a thread on the subject.

I need to look into what deals are out there as well. (If any) If none then it’s worth looking at what the insurance is for a £150 a month PCP car is over an older car.
-
When I was at tech one lad had a band new Citroen Saxo, PCP maybe? Anyway, the insurance was included. My daughter soon turns 17 as well and we've put aside a couple of grand for lessons etc. We'll start looking for a new PCP deal and see if they include insurance. Even if they dont is astonishing how much cheaper insurance is for a brand new car over one 3-7 years old.

Which is ironic as Landrover ripped off the original Jeep. Jeeps are still a far superior 4x4 anyway.

Was asked to Mill six Oak logs for a local lad. Told him I could do it for £400 or half the wood, which seems to be a cardinal sin here. [emoji3] Anyway, he let me keep 2/3 of the slabs I milled. Seems like it was a worthwhile day in the end. Some of the logs maxes the mill out and had to be trimmed down a bit. All in the pissing rain that never stopped all day. Soaked to the bone. The slabs below where what I ended up with.

Add to the fact Abbott could not even manage to put on a matching pair of shoes when going out in public gives me enough of an indication of what her input would have been.

Ive been back in the UK three days now. Only been asked to wear a mask in one shop, I walked out and went to the one thatr did not insist on it. That to me is very very simple and works for me. I see the likes of Asda are not enforcing it which is some common sense at last. Tesco where happy for me to shop without one and with good reason, 70% of their staff was not wearing one either. Common sense will prevail eventually and we can put this charade behind us.

But the scared gullible fools lap it up.
-
Depends on the softwood but it’s not automatically value for money. False economy maybe? I’d want Oak as well as it will still be there long after I’m gone. But it seems like such a waste of a beautiful wood.I’ll assume it’s come over from Eastern Europe? Get it before it’s all gone. [emoji16] How much where you per Sleeper? I’ve seen Oak as low as £25 each and that’s just criminal.
-
Buy softwood then.
-
Deep scores sounds like an off-set tooth being outta whack. When there is hardly a few quids profit in a sleeper it seems like some folk will run their bands till their well worn to maximize production. You're buying sleepers, so Im not really seeing an issue with what you're buying. If you want them graded or even planed expect to pay for that, or do it yourself.

Cant help unfortunately. All I could contribute is I love Oak and slathering it in lots of Danish Oil. :D
