What's LR?

TWO guys were out hunting in the outback and came upon a huge hole in the ground. They approached it and were amazed at its size. The first said, "Wow, that's some hole. I can't even see the bottom. I wonder how deep it is." The second said, "There's an old gear box over there. Let's throw it in and see how long it takes to hit bottom." So, they picked up the gear box, carried it over to the hole, counted one-two-three and heaved it in. As they were standing there, looking over the edge of the hole, a goat come crashing through the underbrush, ran up to the hole and without hesitation, jumped in head first. While they were standing there staring at each other in amazement, they peered into the hole, trying to figure out what that was all about. Just then an old farmer sauntered up. "G'day, you blokes didn't happen to see my goat?" The first hunter said, "Funny you should ask. We were just standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes doing about 100 MPH and jumped head first into this hole!" The old farmer said, "Nah, that's impossible! I had him chained to a gear box." [emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

No idea. Maybe

Might have an old 48" .404 "spare" chain if you want? Haven't got a 48" bar but bizarrely I do have a brand new 17" 3002 mount bar Could mill some 12" stuff?[emoji848] Free to a good home? [emoji106]

Wonky and I used to pay £20 a ton (1.5m3) for quality over stood s.chestnut. 14-24" For milling and shakes/shingles [emoji106]

West Yorkshire £100 1xm3

I travel nationwide. Luckily the couple own a holiday cottage next door, normally it's cheap digs or camping in the summer. The clients originally wanted dimensional cut timber. The tree had fallen in a storm in 2012. The logs were completely unsuitable for this, as the grain was all over the place and had started to spalt. However it will make the most incredible table tops. 5-6 tons of slabs. I charge a flat day rate. I have a commission arrangement for selling the slabs. [emoji106]

Mainly 12' by 3.5' by 3" About 300kg roughly per slab. I'll be selling them in a few months. [emoji106]

Great recipe: A 1litre kilner jar 120 young fresh peach leaves 20 cubes of sugar Bottle of red wine Chuck all ingredients in to the jar. Top up with eau de vie. Or over proof calvados. Leave for 3-6 months minimum. Tastes like peachy port [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Really stable low moisture content 10%. Straight clean grain. Oak is good, s.chestnut has weak fibre cohesion so likely to split. I know a woodsman who built a house from chestnut and oak. Used steel framed glass to stop the windows breaking. [emoji106]

£400 a ton for s.chestnut is robbery.[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] It sells wholesale for £6-800 m3 for kiln dried planks. I use to pay £12 a ton standing for all s.chestnut logs. Firewood or milling. Don't get mugged off. [emoji106]

Or put your driving license code in gov website. You can tow 750kg unbraked.

A recent job. [emoji106]

Yes mate, no problem. Saul 07376803384 [emoji106]

I've seen a fairy liquid bottle with brewers tube and tap on a mill. Worked fine. The hardest bit is getting it to stay on the upright. [emoji106]

Yeah, but only when the chain is blunt, [emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

He's talking shyt. You can't get 20 sleepers from a ton. Green sleepers are about 50kg. I'd love to see the sawmill with 100% efficiency. The norm is 40%. The big s.chestnut you describe is worth milling. Rot, cavitys, inclusions all add to the character. It probably is fucked as far as standard boards go, but with a bucket or two of resin.... 5'x10' table tops mmmm.[emoji106] Mill it thick or it will probably fall apart. 75-150mm. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I'm no mechanic, I was told to stick an extra teaspoon of oil in my mix for the first few tanks, which I did. Pulls like a proverbial. It can mill 42" wide semi seasoned oak heart 12' long in a few minutes. Takes a full tank though. [emoji106]
