Ah no bother mate
-
Where is it at Stuart's anywhere near Newcastle lol
-
A would pay 500 for that just to see what it looked like inside wasted a lot more money on worse things n not too much off a loss if it's no good once milled
-
That would be a stunning table that like my favourite wood elm
-
Thought about it and thought about all the extra codine I would need to eat then never thought about it agen mate my back pain wakes is up a few times every night so something that dose the work for me is what I need mate it might work out a just buy a lorry load of logs mill them then not use the mill for a few MTH but least it's there if a do need it to resaw something or buy a log a can't resist lol as little wear and tear on my body is what a need mate lol
-
Anything around a MTR wide and a mix of 2" and 3" but would resaw the 3" in half for the van conversion coustomer and finish with the router and if anyone else wanted skinny tables etc just a waste of good wood when it's a pile of shavings lads in the allotments love it for there hens but it's no good for me
-
Aye a seen that mate I have a load of elm there but all 2" so won't need resawn that it's just oak and spalted beech I would of been cutting agen lately because a coustomer who dose van conversions only wanted 18mm tops was a shame wasting over 2" of 27 year air dried stuff plus if a could manage to mill my own logs tiny amount would save paying someone 450 a day if a get the mill I will get a forklift and a little tent kiln saves messing about with shipping am not the brightest when it comes to all that crap get stressed easy so everything I need in 1 place is what am thinking
-
Just for my own use buddy haha more than likely resaw the slabs I have too save me chugging loads off with the router others I have seen don't do as wide a cut aswell and I like the wider slabs
-
Are logosol b1001 decent enough to mill 1 or 2 decent logs a week ? More than likely 1 or 2 a MTH though And for a first mill ( never used or seen one running in person) are they simple enough to use am a bench hand by trade so used to using machines

This ones not my first one I have been on a course learning how to do epoxy floors walls and counter tops aswell but stone coat countertops cover everything I learned anyway on YouTube was just a waste of 600 quid really but you get a city and guils sticker to put on your van at the end of the course hahaha -

No mate not seen them I just watched one video on YouTube about it from stone coat countertops then just went for it haha aye it's expensive like I use elichem there not the cheapest but a like there resin glass cast are cheaper but never used there's and am sure they will be some even cheaper than that it's a easy thing to use really aslong as you seal everything properly with silicone/painters calk or hot glue you shouldn't get no leaks for the waterfall ones just use CT1 if your worried about your joints blowing out it's a really strong silicone you will struggle to get the mould apart if you use CT1 -

Not finished yet needs trimmed to size edges rounded over and oiling up
