I’m thinking of getting into chainsaw milling, i want to turn odd lumps of oak into beams, gateposts that kind of thing. I’ve got a husqvarna 365 that can take 28” bar according to the book. Apparently you loose 4” of bar in the jig leaving 24” for cutting. Does anyone have any advice on...

Right I didn’t clean anything last time, though I’d clean it if I managed to cut it right. This time I will clean it properly and see what happens. Do you score both sides or just one, once or repeatedly?

What’s the best way of cutting 4mm single glazing? I want to make a load of old odd shaped panes into 200x250mm panes. I have used the cheap silver line wheel and oil cutters with indifferent results but maybe that was my technique. I see there are glass cutting wheels for grinders. Are these...

Thank-you @Steve Maskery for your detailed reply. I will do it your way. Can't quite see what stops the bolt from turning in the leg though?

I am making a bed, I am going to use the bed nuts like these from Axminster in the bed rails. http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-bed-bolt-nuts-pkt-2-ax364429?sel=600907 With a hex headed bolt hidden in the bed leg. I will also use a shallow mortice in the leg to locate the rail. Should I...

Wildman, In my original question, which you have quoted, I said I had already tried this but it wasn't providing enough adjustment. I don't mean to cause offence by pointing this out but maybe you should read the thread if your interested? Then again I doubt you have read my response so...

Ok here's a 45 yard 10 shot group of JSB exact 5.52. 9 shots went into 3/4" one had to go and spoil it. Could have been a damaged pellet, bit of lube burning off or just operator error! DSCF5393 by fat ferret, on Flickr Zeroed at 30 yards shooting bang on target with plenty of adjustment left...

Still searching out pellets as it's a bit more choosy being FAC power. Best so far are JSB, 1 1/2" @ 30 yards. Going to try JSB heavy which are 18.2 grain and have some on order.

I recon it's like the Clifton planes people pay so much for. If you use it a lot it's worth having the best. I don't so am happy with an old record. 180 Quid actually doesn't buy much anyway although it's still a lot of money to me. I about to spend more than that on the car when it's had it's...

Did think of taking pictures but really not very exciting. Scope in place it looks like an ordinary scope mount. Never lapped anything but as I removed around a mm of metal it would have took a while if I had:) .

Tall. Around 600 x 2000mm. Four the same.

Couple of years ago I asked on here about wheelbarrows as I was trashing them renovating my house, concreting, laying gravel roads, moving stone around ect. My muttered response to all your suggestions of what to buy was "bought it, trashed it, flung it." Not trying to be disrespectful but it...

Hi. I have made pine cupboard doors by mortice and tenoning the frames together and grooving them internally to accommodate 12mm tongue and groove or ply. I use 32mm planed red pine for the frames and every so often a door warps so badly I have to make another which is a pain. I have some tall...

Gave it a go. Shot a group at a 10 meter target with the scope optically centred. 4" low and 1" to the right. Got a fine file and filed a bit off the front cradle. Then used a 10" strip of 120 grit wet n dry wrapped round a length of 20mm copper pipe to smooth it off front and back twisting...

Heathen! :x

Wayney coll, could do that. Might work better with a wooden dowel which is the option I'm leaning towards. Viking, its a break barrel. The barrel points down in relation to the cylinder where the scope is mounted. Not by much but it's noticeable and makes all the difference at longer ranges...

Inspector, you may be right. If I use a wooden dowel it should work as the dowel would be softer. Novocaine, your not insulting. I'm set on doing it because I can't think of anything else to do. I can't shim any further. I could buy an adjustable mount for £30 but it wouldn't fit my arrestor...

Hi Monkeybiter, using a one piece mount with arrestor built in and not shifting. Yes I'm working my way through all the common pellets. Can't shoot lightweights but middleweight JSB's are the best so far with 1 1/2" 10 shot groups at 30 yards which isn't too hot but hoping this will improve as...

Agreed, I have already shimmed as much as I dare and it's still low. 1mm is too much to shim whereas I could lap as much as 2mm off and not compromise the mount or scope. As woodpig stated the alternative is an adjustable mount but I can't get one that fits my rifle properly and don't trust it...

Hi woodpig found the American sites but I note the special bar costs $50 and I would need to import one. I see your valve grinding paste on Ebay and it's around £5. Don't mind if it takes a while as I don't want to grind too much. Should work. Thanks very much. Harbro I did think of that but...
