it's a nice ash butt there and the brief of this tree is to make a large dining
room table and straight out of the log all ready to go straight inside green
let's see as you can see there's a big flare that flare end of it so I'll knock that
flare off and then we'll get a level on the log and see
I've not come across these jacks before but I'm sure they could be adapted to tree use
just need a bit of stabilization that brace in there
seems to be - holding it
batteries not got loads of life so I've just done another three inch slab
off that piece there put it on some trestles and then I'll try and get a
quick snap I'm gonna use the mini-mill to just to take it down to 40 centimeters
and that's going to be it
from the main log mini-mill up one side and then down the other can't film it as
no power but i'll film the end so now I'm going to do two 3-inch slabs for the
table
What I've done is I've cut an 8-inch slab and then rolled that 90 degrees and now I'm
going to freehand some vertical cuts and these are going to be for the legs and
then use the small log mill to undercut
getting dark and it's been a bit of a rush finish there quickly it's rustic
we need a bit strengthening at some point
