Steve somebody I think - maybe I'll have a look around to see if I can find something to jog my memory for you BSM :)

Ho Yuss!

My copy of the set arrived this morning (thanks Mr. M. for a very fast turnaround!). As a complete novice bandsaw user I found Steve's advice clear, simple and enormously useful. I've just spent a happy couple of hours watching, and feel compelled to go cut something up forthwith!

Thank you Steve - a very enjoyable way to be educated!
 
I do sometimes Rob, but usually have my steelies on in the workshop, there's some big lumps of wood in there and it wouldn't half hurt :lol:

It's not sweet chestnut Chas, I've got a fair bit of that, this stuff is much denser and finer/closer grained and rock hard. Came from my old dad's garden a few years ago and looks like a hedgrerow type trunk. Pretty sure it's hawthorn but curious in case it might be something else :-k

Cheers, Paul :D
 
Paul, difficult to tell from pics alone but that timber looks a lot like the English Ash I'm currently working, some of it is surprisingly heavy and abrasive on edge tools.

On the occasion I'm thinking of Paul, I didn't have steelies on and your timber was heavy :lol: - Rob
