Brett
Yout reasoning is fairly sound there. I am about to do my charlatan thing here because this is the first time I have worked with Tallow Wood. It is dense (almost 1000Kg/m3 dry) and although it dries slowly has little degrade and low shrinkage. According to Bootle it needs careful attention when gluing (like our spotted gum). Modern glues seem to be able to cope better.
Unless you have some other stock I would also be looking for some darker timber for the undercarriage. If you are considering a floor, some 100 x 50 in the Tallow might be an idea too. Depending on the vice, sliding deadman etc you might need something for those too.
Sorry. Love workbenches. My twopennyworth.

I was thinking the same as Paul there in that you didn't mention anything about undercarriage, I am currently into a bench build if you want to take a look in the bench forum, so far the undercarriage is pretty much done, like you I am gonna go thick on the top, I have used a heap of reclaimed house joists/rafters which I machined down to about 38/40mm thick and will end up about 76mm wide, this will form the top, it will be heavy.....

My reference to a floor in Tallow should have read 100 x 25. (Not 100 x 50)

One way or another, ther volume will NOT be a problem (small or larger).
The shape of the load, and whether or not it fits on a pallet is now irrelevant.
The only limiting factor now is weight (of the load, and your wallet). Paul drives a one tonne flatbed, onto which the max length timber is 2.4 m
Have a guess what the max load weight is. And as it stands there's still quite a bit of room for more, based upon confirmed orders.
I'm ordering some lengths that will not be postable, 'coz they're posts,. They'll be an eighth of the max load just by themselves, and there's other stuff of mine.

Eee, I might be a bit responsible for that Fred. I put in a post (I think the first) that members could sort out what they want in PM to MMor in this thread. That was because I wanted to keep abreast of the potential load volume/weight approximation (a lot or a little).
Actually I haven't ever regarded this as a Group Buy, but just freight sharing (for example, at the moment I have no idea of the prices that people are paying etc, whereas normally I obviously would).
It isn't known, except to myself and Admin, that this thread was discussed by Admin/Mods before it went public, to see if it fitted in ok. Indeed, originally I published it in Timber Sales, and the Ninja took it off the air in record time (about 20 seconds - literally - I hadn't even finished reading it through after posting before I couldn't edit it ). was saying that it was a grey area (which I'm good at finding), and that it needed discussion.
30 minutes later it was back on, and moved to Announcements, so all good.

Not quite FF, it was taken off by me and kicked upstairs.
Two reasons, it didn't belong in Timber Sales as there was nothing to sell and no prices.
In the end it was put in Announcements, where all GROUP BUYS have been put.
It has turned in to a rather chaotic sales pitch just as I feared.
I still don't see that MM can ask for it be closed?
