Rack bench

[Hilly]

Thought I'd add to this, had the bench going this aft.

Still terrifies me.
It teaches respect.

It would stop you picking your nose.

FIL is gonna throw up a shed using these as beams and some telegraph poles for legs.

Larch is pretty good stuff, we've sheds made purely from round larch poles and as long as the roof doesn't leak on them they last a long time.

Probably not!

Hi Sion, I'm sorry it's sold.
It did only go to the farm next door, so not far away!

Sorry to dig up an old thread but been researching these today and not found much info at all! Our neighbouring wood man is retiring and is looking to sell his bench. I’ve been given the task of finding it a new home and wondered where to advertise??
Especially as I don’t know too much about it!

It’s a 48ft rack so can cut up to 24ft lengths with 4ft and 5ft blades (with inserts). Pto driven and has been in situ for approx 50 years but has been dismantled and reassembled approx 15 years ago to be trued up. Is there any demand for these still? It’s an awesome piece of kit that has worked 360 days a year for probably over half a century and I can’t stand the thought of it getting scrapped. I’ve spent my whole life on the farm next door listening to the saw singing away and it’s sad to think it will soon be gone.

Would be interested in any woodland equipment that becomes available.
