Friday lunch prattle

I mentioned today my Foredom woodcarving set, the one like a Dremel on steroids. Here's a link. They are great

Must have been some temporary trick of light and shade, Phil.

I went out and checked but there is no sign of any unauthorized initials now.

Just what I needed - another bloody project.

Saved to hard drive, added to the list of projects (currently sitting at number 2,156)

Hi All,


It's been a hectic week for me, and have almost no mental capacity left to think of a topic, so how about this one... "When you are mentally exhausted, with no beans left in the tank, what do you do in the shed to recharge, or do you just sit in a comfy chair resting your eyes?


I look forward to seeing any and all tomorrow

Sorry I couldn't make the last meet as I have built 4 chainsaw mills and used about about a dozen others so feel I could have contributed.

One of the best on-line sources for getting started with home chain saw milling is the only sticky thread (Milling 101) in Arboristsite.com Sawmilling subform
Milling & Saw Mills | Arboristsite.com I post there unser teh same username as here. You have to suffer the Americanisms but other than that there's loads of good info there.

I started the Milling 101 thread in 2009 and it now has around 195 posts in it. The Arboristsite forum also had a picture meltdown around the same time that WWF had its picture losses. For a few months I was granted access to restore the pics so most of mine have been reinserted.

A critical factor with successful chain saw milling is sharpening and this is discussed in grimy detail by me on this forum.
My methods were deemed so effective that my main thread on this topic was moved to be the only sticky in the "Hotsaws - sharpening" subform.
Chain Sharpening | Arboristsite.com

The specific thread is here Are FOP really progressive depth raker generators? | Arboristsite.com
I could do a presentation/demo at one of the meetings there was enough interest.

Hope everything is ok?.

Thanks Matt, all is fine., my brain has just been getting an intense workout with work.

You should see if Mr Bushmillar can get you a job?
It seems to be a fairly relaxed affair, apart from the hours.

Cheers Matt

One the subject of CBN v Diamond wheels here is the tech tip from the Norton catalogue
Although diamond and cBN (cubic Boron Nitride) are both superabrasives, the use of diamond and cBN varies, depending upon the materials to be ground.

cBN Grinds:• High-speed tool steels• Die steel• Hardened carbon steels• Hardened stainless steels• Alloy steels• Aerospace alloys• Abrasion-resistantferrous materials

Diamond Grinds:• Cemented carbide• Glass• Ceramics• Fiberglass• Plastics• Composites• Abrasives• Stone• Electronic componentsand materials

In general, cBN is used to grind ferrous materials. Diamond is used to grind non-ferrous materials, because of an adverse reaction between diamond and iron.T

Another very good prattle.

This is a link to my shoulder plane blades

The original poster has PM'd me to say he would like one, but I am waiting for him to say which one. If any of you would like to use the remaining blades please let me know.

Paul
