Some of the nicest pippy oak. Not huge but very pretty. [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

When you say "tulip" do you mean magnolia or poplar?

Might be nearly time to get a spare 880 or two. Couldn't mill without one. [emoji51] -
Did my cs32 with TKF last year. Would highly recommend them. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Great bit of kit. I've worked along side a climber with one. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Had to put the sycamore job off til Wednesday. Back is playing up again. Shouldn't lift quarter ton logs. [emoji849] Found a use for monkey puzzle. Log bed.[emoji106] Started on this pippy oak. Once the log is on the mill it's so easy and quick. Brilliant for cutting square edge timber. The cut is a bit wavey, but I'm using a 25" bar without nose support. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Recommendations for a Solar kit for a workshop

Producing the power is relatively cheap and easy, the expensive and hard part is storage. 12v leisure batteries are good for lighting with leds and constant recharging. [emoji106] -
Anyone tried half a file in a cordless drill?

About 1.8-1.85m wide. [emoji106]

Give me a shout if you want them milled. [emoji106]

Where abouts are the logs? Cut a 6" round off the end. If it's still mush cut another. The sapwood hasn't rotted, but the core of one or two is debatable. By the looks of it, slabs and resin tables. What diameters? [emoji106]

Depends where you buy it from. At 12" wide, seasoned QS in 8' lengths with minor defects, air dried. Not cheap, but high end rustic. Roughly £20-£40 a piece depending on quality of grain. For sidings you'd be looking at seconds. £20-£30 ish. That's wholesale/bulk purchase. *Prices may vary* [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

We have gas central heating. The wife refuses to have a log burner in the house.[emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] I still have 5m3 of cut logs sitting in the garden. Just in case.... (winter of 63) [emoji106]

I started making plywood Alaskan mills years ago, then bought my first "proper chillaskan". Over the last few years I've destroyed half a dozen. Milled untold boards and slabs. The panther mill is a game changer for me. It's so much more rugged and stable, even when compared to original granberg's. The GB bar is pretty rigid for 56" of about 4-5mm steel. And I'll be honest it cuts cleaner than anything I've used before. Nearly flawless. I think the granberg chain helped. And that might be the most beautiful slab I've ever cut. [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Still have to assemble the 80" panther mill before Monday, as we have a 5' sycamore crotch to cut. And we just had these pippy oak and rippled beech delivered by a certain Arbtalker. [emoji106] Been a crazy week.

Been one absolutely crazy week.[emoji51] Monday crippling back pain, day in office.[emoji300]️ Tuesday food poisoning. Day mainly in office.[emoji300]️ Wednesday had wood turned down by clients.☹️ Thursday finished building and installing the Logosol [emoji3] Today built the 60" panther mill with 56" GB bar. Went for a granberg ripping chain to match and got a stihl ripping chain to compare. Got an old elm log to try it all out on.[emoji12][emoji57] [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I visited my folks in France a couple of years ago with my saws to do a bit a garden tree work. The local firewood guy popped by. He saw my gear and looked very unsettled. He asked if I was going to be selling firewood. I explained: I don't have a hectare of yard space to store wood, Or a forest to cut from. Or a large tractor and timber trailer, Big wood processor, barns to store it in, Contacts with hundreds of local clients, Or even a vehicle to deliver 3m3 at a time. But you do. He looked rather happy when he left. [emoji12][emoji106]

That's a crunched saw [emoji12][emoji106]

Fascinating stuff Rob, Bloody scary. Nice one for the heads up. Never even considered this, smart meter is going. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

The cheap plastic ones aren't worth buying. They have too much play/movement to accurately grind. There are various manufacturers of decent grinders. Oregon,stihl,husky etc It's worth spending a few hundred pounds for a reliable machine. A sharp,regular toothed, correct depth gauged chain means everything in milling. Got any photos of what you're cutting? [emoji106]
