Without a doubt you want that mill 100-110% percent level. Aim for 120%. 🤣

Had a spare day or so so milled up some Scots Pine and a nice Beech log at my house. Not had the mill here for about a year now. Was gonna just firewood the Beech but glad I saved it (and it’s sister) as it had really nice colours. Again even my iPhone 14 Pro Max struggles to capture the colours and makes it look full of rot. Got a load of 2.5” slabs and a nice 6” butcher block outta it. Quite dark for Beech. Some Purple in there too.
-
I know how that goes!
-
Most of the Birch I’ve milled is pure white. This is a rainbow of colours at the heart. Not mine unfortunately. I swapped the mill time for branch logger time. Easily selling a trailer load for £200 a time plus fuel.
-
I think I just inadvertently agreed with your diagnosis in my reply to Stubby. But it milled as smooth as butter/oak I think due to its age. Just milled bloody slow and unusually for my Logosol I got wavey cuts and a laboured engine all the time.
-
Is that right? I’ve milled a few bits but it’s more boring than Beech. I’ve not advertised it right enough. It’s just drying. Talking of Beech. 😁
-
Really don’t know? We reckon it was 100 years old. Got three nice bits out of the tree. I can be totally done with a band in Spruce but I’ll get another hour or two in Oak with the same band.
-
Maxed out the Mill with a big Birch. Surprisingly there was no rot at all. The mill worked harder with it than Oak. Some cracking colours too. Pics really don’t do it justice. Looks insipid and half rotten.

help with cost to offer for oversizes logs

Id offer £50 a ton at best. -
Les is not know for his astuteness thats for sure. He's not known for his carpentry either come to think about it.
-
wow, you must be the first person to ever think this.........🙄
-
Love it. 😆
-
You dont strike me as someone who has many in theirs so it must be quite the event for you....
-
Yet here we are. 🙄 You responding to my posts that where in no way directed at yourself.🙄 You do realise what an utter simpleton you portray yourself as, right? If it’s a ruse then well played, but it would be one you’ve played since day one. Stick to what you know best Les. And that’s not raising children or Carpentry by that sounds of things…..
-
Les, you’re not intelligent enough to fish. You know that, we know that. Posting pics is peak intelligence for you and you wonder why no one finds them funny. 🙄
-
If your carpentry ability is as bad as your reading ability it’s little wonder you only post pictures of you sanding planks…
-
That’s no help. That’s 99% of us on here. 😁
-
I’d certainly not like to take that job on either. 😳 Im in the middle of milling 6” beams for a cabin build. But that’s simple enough with a Bandsaw. I’ve just bought a mid-range cordless DeWalt Circular Saw. I was quite impressed when it ripped through 2” oak. Cross grain though. I do like my big Makita. 😁
-
A Lucas or Peterson Mill is a Circular Saw. Obviously a Swing Blade but a Circular Saw none the less. I can cut 6” with my Makita Circular Saw. If I had 6” Slabs I could easily cut Beams. Milling enough wood to build a house with an Alaskan is certainly not an inviting prospect but certainly possible depending on what you hope to achieve. Perhaps he’s just looking to build a frame with it and not the fixings? Greenhearts the main issue here and most likely the reason he’s here. I don’t know why you’re being such a knob about it?
-
Well I’m with you on that one. 😁 You might think Im all for regulations and rules but for the most part I find them stifling and a hindrance. But without them we’d end up like the countries I mentioned earlier. Based on your ideals is there a country in the world you feel upholds them? If so which is it?
-
Honestly, you can keep your hippy nonsense.
-
My bad. The council. Same same but different, but still the same. They’re not moving him on for living there legally are they?
-
Yes really. Otherwise why would the police remove him? Was he living there legally or not? Simple question.
-
Good idea
-
Man living illegally gets dealt with by the police appropriately. 🤷🏻♂️
