    Put me down for the usual
    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

    Of course you are.

    Just stand back 1.5m from the computer and don't leave the house!

    Thanks everyone for the chat today. It was both entertaining and informative.

    Next week I will try to log on through my shed computer if I can. Wifi is a bit thin out there but I can get it to play youtube music while I work so it might support Zoom if I am lucky.

    Hoping to do it by shed-cam because my workbench Long-overdue workbench build will be finished by then and I can't invite everyone over for a party so the best I can do is share on Zoom.

    See you all next week.

    I'll echo Doug's comments. Thanks Paul and Pagie for your insights, I certainly learned a lot today.

    Yes, it was a good hook up. This is the link to the Spotted Gum that was sawn a few years back now.

    As Pagie said, it makes a mess of the ground (carved up and sawdust etc). Not really viable without specialised equipment. I will take some pix if I can of my chainsaw mill later in the week and post here, but I think the Alaskan style chainsaw mills are easier for most people. Just to summarize some of our comments today, You really need a saw that will run a 26" bar as a minimum. In practice this means a saw of about 70cc and upwards. Just use a standard semi chisel chain sharpened at a normal angle (30 degrees.) A lesser angle will give a smoother cut but cutting will be slower.

    Have a look on the small timber milling section of the Forum. There are plenty of examples there. These were the logs I mentioned in the chat.

    Hi All,


    The topic for discussion will be carving. Share your experience with those of us who have never tried it. If you have some carving tools bring them along to show.

    I look forward to seeing any and all tomorrow

    I will be there, hopefully on time.

    If I can get the shed computer to run Zoom I will log on there and if nobody has any objections I would like to unveil the new bench for it's first proper public appearance.

    I have a few power carving tools I can bring along too.

    I have a small concreting job to do tomorrow morning but, providing nothing went horribly wrong, I should be done and dusted by 1200hrs and will look forward to hooking up.

    Great I have some carving tool but not very good at it. Would like to see the finished bench. I can see how hairy Oak got it's name.
