i have a mill maker book man :cool::cool:a it tells you how to make one :cool::cool: good book

 

Its starting to take shape and is looking real good ausapbt.

 

:cool::cool::rolleyes:

 

got them blueprints and article scaned in on a pdf file but im to ignorant to post it. ill figure it out tonight/tommorow.

 

ok the below detail should be changed to 350mm height in lieu of 250mm. the mill is perfect size but a little more height would be good if you have a taller dog.

no problems, whenever you get a spare moment to get around to it is fine.

cheers

update

got the slats painted and half the belt finished... its starting to look like a mill should...

very happy so far, lots of hard work but worth the reward

 

starting to look good now man,

 

wow thats nice.

 

Looks just like a bought one! keep up the good work mate.

 

good stuff aus, hey just a thought had a friend that made 1 with wider slats sort of like yours the dogs feet were getting damaged pinched in them just something to think about maybe theres was to short? not sure but youll sort it mate.

 

looks like your putt'n in a good effort mate.
the belt your using looks to be rubber??
if so mate, it won't last long, keep an eye on it.
ill give you the name of some real good belt, its nylon type.
ill get back to you about it. ive made a few over the years
also, just a tip, i always use counter sunk srews in the slats

 

also mate, you shouldnt paint your slats, they need to be soft timber.
use soft timber and keep it oiled with pure linseed oil.
soft timber = no splinters.
