The Jhb roads guys had cut up the the tree into loadable logs, I gave them a R30  'lunch box' to load the one I wanted to the back of the bakkie with their picker thing. I have the feeling they didn't attach much value to the wood.

 

There is another dead oak tree just outside Old Eds, although the termites have made a B line for that one. It will probably stand there until it falls down, Jhb City (all departments) dont do pro-active maintenance, the only respond to logged calls.

 

A couple of years ago I came across some guys in Upper Houghton actually harvesting  a dead Oak, they had a whole scaffolding rig to guide a long chainsaw so that they could cut planks. No one blinked an eyelid or noticed (except me probably). I am quite sure they didn't have any permission, but at least that wood didn't end up in the mulcher

Suffice to say that some of my furniture is made from Cedar and Cypress that was sustainably harvested from the forests of Guateng.....including a stunning little Cedar kist that went to Greece. I kid you not. 

My two partners in the enterprise are sadly no longer with us.

Clamps are my bane. I never have enough. And good clamps are so damn expensive.

Any ideas where to find pipe clamps? Haven't been able to find any locally!

Forget it.  I tried myself many years ago, and eventually imported it from the US.  Now I have 10 Pony clamps.

I was afraid that this would be the answer. Guess I'm going shopping online!

Fark, why did I just do that, now I want more....

 

I have a few medium and a couple of big sash clamps from my wife's grandfather that pasted away a few years ago.

Off course, I don't think you can get Pony anymore, and I think they are a bit more expensive now.

Some low-tech emergency clamps: the wedge method, and the twisted rope. Mostly developed by the Romans.

I'm wanting to laminate table tops, the pipe clamps allow you to use pipe of any length so if you're doing wide tops, you just get longer pipe.

 

 

They are available on eBay:
