G'day. I've been a little busy for the last few months (make that years) with building a strawbale house and having kids to watch this forum. My bad! Thanks for the manual, Saskatoon! I've done a...

G'day, again.

Finally worked out how to attach some pics, so here they are:

Have started cleaning it up a little. Seems to be working pretty well. The blades will be...

G'day. Did you have any luck getting a manual? I have just got myself an Artisan machine and would love to get a copy, if you can help!

I'm...

Thanks, Make It Work. I suspect that the mill is much cheaper - about $275 per cubic metre. You don't end up with the nice tools at the end, though!

OK. I'm a newbie, both on this forum and in the wonderful world of woodworking!
