Have we had a 'First go at Milling' thread recently?
topchippyles replied to TuscanPhil's topic in Milling Forum
Well done phil but those brackets look a little flimsy.I have a ladder i only use just to get the first straight cut and screw direct through the runners most of the time and secures it as good as required.Just looking and your push handle should be on the opposite side. -
Who are you working with ? A bunch of king kongs ?

You may be lucky and have an electric one but there is normally a winding backup to,May have not been used in years and its seized up.Fingers crossed it will work ?

As i thought gav but a good question is how many of you arb boys run a business from home ?? Is it doing firewood/milling or perhaps a workshop of some kind.

She has had a letter and it asks to respond so its not an problem. Had many issues with the council over the years but dealing with boundary and access issues to undertake work but this is a new one.

Just a real pain in the butt to be honest.

Evening all,Ok been on the forum for a good while and never seen the question i am asking about covered.I knocked down a tree for a family friend 2 weeks ago and i can keep all the wood and mill it in place.Had a full day cutting so around 4/5 hrs saw running time in between moving and sorting branches ect. The lady in question has now had a letter complaining about the noise so she is worried now about me milling it up in here garden as there are a lots of houses really close by.Is there a rule to thumb sort of thing using chainsaws in built up areas ? I have said i will speak with the council on her behalf but would like some feedback off you guys please thanks les.

Friday afternoon so you must be in the pub ??

You could look at the other option and acquire a reasonable sized bandsaw mill and run that alongside doing firewood.You would need to sell slabs/timber and provide a cutting service to make that pay though.A few on here do it very successful but the area you live will be a big factor.
