Lucas 613 - the new pride and joy

**Chooks74** · 6th June 2008, 10:34 AM

I am happy to announce the arrival of a Lucas 613 into my shed. I now feel like a proud dad with a 500 pound baby.

Let me know if you want some wood milled in the Brisbane Ipy area, I am basically a hobbiest (hence the small mill) but I may be able to help someone out with a log here and there.

Cheers

Onya Chook. don't forget to post some pics when you christen your new baby!

Nice mate. What does one of those set one back $$-wise? I got no room for one but just curious.

I payed just under 8 grand but it came with some extras for the 613. A new one is going for 8500 from Lucas at the moment (to aussie customers), not sure what they are supplying for that though.

Chook are you willing to travel to Toogoolawah? About 1 hr past Ipswich in the Brisbane Valley. I have some ironbarks and redgum that need milling. Let me know. Damien.

Chooks i have a cousin at Morayfield that has a large Silky Oak being cut down as part of the freeway work in that area.

If it is of interest to you let me know and i will put you in touch.

Cheers

Hey Chooks well done mate. It just seems like yesterday you where looking around for someone to go and help out for the day. If you learnt something or not while helping out, now you can play all on your own

You'll love milling it's just terrific!!

Hey Damien, how far away from Landsborough is Toogoolawah? I've been set up at L'borough for the last 6 weeks. If you're needing someone to do milling, let me know.

I am very pleased with the mill. Except when I hit fencing wire in a beautiful piece if ironbark.

**Sigidi** · 10th June 2008, 02:02 PM

Chooks it will take a bit of time to learn the signs of nasty things like wire. THe easiest way is to see the logs/tree's before they come down and take a general look around where they came from, but it sure sucks hey?

**Chooks74** · 10th June 2008, 02:50 PM

Yep, weisy can attest that there were no outward signs of the wire.

Does anybody know of a good metal detectr that could be run along the log to pick up wire or nails?
