Then swing by me for a brew after. Im about 3 miles from there.

I think Big J was on the right lines. A Fat Girl thought she'd give it a whirl and sat on it.
-
Seen it too. For sure a scam.
-
Damn, that much still to mill? ? Those drawings are handy. Id have to build/have built a Heavy Duty Trailer like yours to be able to use a Hydraulic lift I think? The Sub 750kg ''all in'' trailers would just coup over.
-
Where are you heading? 6-8 weeks bonus? Its a no brainer, just buy one. Will be waiting for you when you arrive home, haha.
-
Build it! Then build two and I'll buy the other.
-
Would getting someone in to mill it for you be an option? On basis of splitting the milled product? Thats what I did with that last Elm I did in the pictures. half a days work and three free slabs.
-
Go for it, what do you have to lose?
-
Yeh its just a tool. Love it though, plenty of power and 7 seats.

Milled an Elm Butt just before I headed for Norway. Came down in the wind. Was in the process of being cut up for firewood but saved 2.8m of it.
-
Ohhhhh lovely! What is it? Elm?
-
What?
-
Damn thats cool. I had a cracking day at the Sequoia National Park when we where in Cali. Had a week dotting around before we headed for Hawaii. Best day of the whole holiday, loved it there.
-
Damn! Id love one of those! Is this the UK? What wood is that?
-
Ah well, at least they are happy. Hopefully you got some good Over Time rates.
-
Thats a stunning Coffee Table! Love it! May nick the idea for a later build. :D:D Did you build a box under the top?
-
What are you using to keep the throttle on? Why did they need the 1" Slabs so badly? Im guessing they will still be green?
-
Awesome! I like him even more now.

Help required re boot size looking at Cofra Power boots
trigger_andy replied to Trains's topic in General chat
Thanks. Great to hear stories like this from down under. Not spent much time there other than working out of Perth and up to Ningaloo Reef area waiting to go off-shore. Was a laugh. Got a couple of Aussie cars as well. -
Thats such a good idea as well! Deffo gonna do it this way. Im sure my Alaskans only have a depth of around 12-14 inches? Can you order extra deep legs?
-
Very cool idea. Thanks for sharing. How did you stabilize it from below? Just wedge it up?
-
Interesting, from having watched a few Youtube vids the logs all seemed to be 30-36" I guess thats because Im looking for tips and instructions on using a Bandsaw in that range. If I got some 1m+ logs I guess I could roughly 1/4 them on Deck with a Chainsaw then move the 1/4's to my Mill for further processing. I'll see what logs I get when I order my 10t of Oak, maybe ask for a few 1m+ then. Cheers.

Thanks for the reply. When slabbing with my Chainsaw Mills the middle slabs will true quarter sawn anyway. So when they are stacked drying its easy to ID them if stacked as milled. After two years of deliberating and looking for a used Bandsaw Mill I treated myself to a Logosol B751. So although quarter sawing wastes more I'd like a supply drying for future projects.

Help required re boot size looking at Cofra Power boots

Thanks for taking the time to post a reply to your initial queries in such depth. Im sure it will help a few out in the future. Out of interest what is your firewood of choice in Oz? -
If you're still looking maybe its time to just bite the bullet and buy a new pair? Do you not feel a bit embarrassed repeatedly asking folk on here for their old boots?
