About a grand with a couple of chains. Or... 1-2 slices of that log. [emoji848][emoji6][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]??♂️ He's ringed it up. That's olive ash..... Noooooo..... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] IF... it is a 6 foot diameter monster, Mill it whole. Go buy an 80" panther mill and bar. 4"-6" thick slabs. Worth a kings ransom when dry. [emoji106]

Get a 5 litre water bottle. Cut the top off, flip it and attach to the bottom with a few cable ties or metal wire. Drop any old piece of meat in. (And a rock) Attach a rope and leave overnight in the water. If you've got crayfish, they'll be in the bottle. Repeat for 3-6 months to be sure. They taste amazing too! BBQ or boiled [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Between £5. To £600 sooooooo many different factors. But a 3' wide 10' long 3" thick slab of beech should more than cover the price of a Chinese mill from RobD. [emoji106]

I agree, mills should come with some sort of warning: Danger!!! your garage/house/barn/garden WILL be filled with sawn timber. Long term users often feel a deep sense of well being interrupted by brief outbursts of swearing when the mill stops working. Classic symptoms are: Covered in sawdust, A thousand yard stare when you mention burrs,pippy,Elm,ripples.. Covered in sawdust... Facial drool whilst staring at park trees you know you'll never ever be able to mill.... Covered in sawdust. Did I mention sawdust? Then you get to start milling big stuff and you say: "**** I can't lift that" Going to need some bigger kit..... You were warned ok?! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106]

Sometimes I am asked: "Why is it so expensive..." The simple answer is: "What price do you think that would sell for as a table?". [emoji106]

It's easy... just only cut the most incredible looking huge logs into exquisitely beautiful near pristine slabs... Then I just drive round to a local woodworker, Pull a slab out pour several litres of water over, watch and wait 90 seconds as aforementioned woodworker gets more and more excited as the grain and colour become exposed again. I say the magic words: "Terday" "I ner iz frish beeeeert" "Kincheeep lezvanarfprys" "T yu" "******undredquidvelot". I know it's unorthodox but... Works every time[emoji848] Or I post it on Instagram.

How Often Do You Clean Your Glass / What With??
Rough Hewn replied to Witterings's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Newspaper,bit of water and ash. If you get a really thick build up, just crank the fire right up, blast it until the crap burns off. Next day newspaper scrub. [emoji106] -
We rent, had a plumber (an old boy) sent round to do the seal on the bath. Took him nearly six hours. Me and my mate were having to restrain our mirth when he said ooooh it's a big job. Thought he was fleecing the landlady, but he's also their family friend... Turns out he's a freakin genius! He took the whole bath out, Levelled it, beaded and raised into position, fixed the small crack, beaded the bath immaculately,the glass door/shower thing doesn't swing around anymore, and when you get in it's solid. Then we realised he'd fixed the toilet cistern system as well. Old school quality. Humbling. [emoji106]

Yep, but it's peanuts compared with a vehicle. And I can mill 180cm diameter now. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji41][emoji106]

Same as all the rest. Off to a good home. Normally everything gets sold within 48hrs of cutting. [emoji106]

Do all wood moisture meters read the same moisture%?/

I gave up using the prong versions years ago. Seriously thinking of paying several hundred pounds for a proper magnetic field reader. [emoji106] -
Go get a bucket of frogspawn tip it in your pond.... You'll have frogs too. [emoji106]

It's hyper skip. Think it's only got about 20 teeth. [emoji848][emoji106]

Maxed out the 56" bar on the 60" panther mill yesterday cutting the big burr. Cut 6" off each side? Or get out the 84" bar and set up the 80" panther mill....[emoji848] Finally found a Saw and bar combo I can't lift... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106]

No twists[emoji106] But I was very worried to find this: Fortunately it only went in a few inches. Not 4 feet like I've found before. [emoji23][emoji106]
