That was on the southbound journey. [emoji106]

This is the first tree I've turned down to mill. It's just too incredible a tree. There is a dead burr elm next to it I'll get instead. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Just got back from bonny Scotland. A full load on the tipper is 4 PLANKS!!!!!! Anyone want a Game of Thrones table top? [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

That's one hell of an expensive table. [emoji12][emoji106]

Sounds interesting. Like to hear more about the success rate. [emoji106]

Heart breaking news. [emoji17]

I've claimed on insurance for a bar sliding out of a box. Took about 5 days. (Myhermes) No problems. [emoji106]

Interesting project. Wonder who paid for it? [emoji848]

wind blown oak, difficult access, worth it?

Is it your tree? -
Spiritually activated. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Pre hugged? [emoji12][emoji106]

How bigs the yew?

It's for small interesting logs, The transit payload will be about 1 ton. [emoji106]

Where abouts is it?

I've got a fabricator/welder coming to have a look. It will need a solid base plate, not sure where. I've got a tipper and the ideal place is up front by the bulkhead. so I can pick up from one side or move it across to the other. Pretty sure it'll need support legs.

Yes that's asbestos. Swerve the job. Or paint it in pva/vinyl paint with a spray gun on a long stick. The best way I was told by an elderly doctor... Get someone over 75 to remove it, as the effects won't kick in for 15-25 years. [emoji848] In France you can bury asbestos roofing on your own land. You have to have it marked on a map at the mairie. Hate that stuff. [emoji51]

I've been looking at the rock machinery mini crane. Thinking about mounting one on the transit tipper so I can pick up bigger logs for milling. Anyone used/got one or something similar? Would I need a support leg? Any thoughts appreciated Thanks [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Yep. We had that discussion. It's going under a roof, either on it's side or standing, depending on space. [emoji106]

Milled this sycamore in Manchester today. Found the obligatory nails and metal[emoji51] A good set of slabs for projects. [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I have hundreds of photos of slabs. Not sure on quality though. Got an iPhone SE. [emoji106]

£30! [emoji848] Bargain! Count me in Steve. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Big J is correct about bandsaws. [emoji106] And chainsaw mills[emoji848][emoji12] I've got a mate with a panther, he loves and rates it highly. [emoji106]
-
You've got a 660/661/880? Get a cheap Alaskan mill, A straight ladder and a day off. Do a few logs with that. Remember bandsaws are limited in size of cut. Often only 60-90cm. And cost thousands. You can get a panther mill and big bar off Rob.D Chainsawbars UK for a few hundred quid. Then when you've filled your garage and shed and any spare space with milled timber... Then you get a bandsaw.

As Squaredy and se7enthdevil said. [emoji106]

It can be good, spalted or burr are particularly nice. It's not a durable timber, so it will start to rot. However cut at 4" thick it should last a while. [emoji106]
