Well that is the six million dollar question, and at the end of the day you will need to work out what prices work for you. The only tip I can really give is to remember that what you mill will be very different from what builders merchants offer. Your timber will i guess be unseasoned. If it is the right species (larch, douglas fir) it will have natural durability. And you will be able to offer a bespoke service. Eg if the customer wants beams at 135mm x 60 you can help, whereas the builders merchants will not. Also I suggest always pricing up for the full length. The customer may ask for many different lengths, but you should charge for the length your logs are. And I haven’t mentioned that of course pricing should be by volume, except possibly for very thin or narrow pieces.

Just purchased a 550xp cylinder which was obviously overheating due to its orangy/brown colour. Anyone used any type of cleaner successfully so it's back to silver alloy colour? Thanks

I was reading awhile ago that Samsung have developed an new EV battery that uses a lot of silver. It was saying the price of silver is going to rocket. Looks like I was late to the party

Some days I would go 100% asset grabbing and the next 100% narcissism ego boost. Probably in reflection though more ego than assets - coupled with things like renaming the Kennedy Centre he wants to leave his name behind him more than enriching the US. I didn't see all his speech last night, but the highlights were amazing... in his Daily dose of Trump WTFkery. A lot made of mistaking Iceland for Greenland... though I suspect this was a slip of the tongue and he meant Greenland, his mind might also be thinking Iceland too. He sent out a map, colouring in with the US flag Greenland, Canada, the US and Venezuela, which leaves a nice chunk middle south, Mexico, Guatemala.. and of course Cuba sandwiched between the 2.. and he has recently kind of threatened Cuba too. A man of peace. But... empire building too I think. There was his billion dollar peace thing too, didn't see the Europeans fawning over him to join that, and the import taxes (tariffs) for not agreeing to the Greenland sale is quietly being dropped too after he met them... suspect they politely told him where to go with his money making schemes. Billion dollar peace thing... which as the lead he will be creaming off it big time with contracts to his companies, his name all over the world, back to his ego. Yes, ultimate reality TV. I'll see if I can get a spreadsheet or even powerpoint dollars per radian / degree or turbine blade? As for Aliens... yes, probably not invading, we are quite capable of destroying ourselves quite easily.

Can anyone remind me if the DVSA will send the necessary paperwork for an age-related licence renewal automatically as my birthday approaches or do I need proactively to obtain the forms? I'm coming up to number 65 and can't remember what happened five years ago. Many thanks,

Hi everyone The chain brake light on my 540i came on so the saw won't run I saw a video on YouTube saying it's most probably the micro switch but it's a complete strip down to get to it. Anyone got any ideas please. Thanks.

Ah ok. I'm in the process of building another log store, so yes, maybe I should focus on unseasoned logs. I can't seem to edit the original post, so I may copy, amend it and post it in a different forum as I'm not sure this was the right one anyway. Thanks for the suggestion. - Last week

"Until you want to pull slack into your system for any reason and the device just eats it." Yeah but you just put a bit of friction on the rope, use a foot or a knee against the tree. The bigger issue I found was when above the anchor point, it is a bit of a ball ache to pull the rope through it. IMO the self tending which allows way easier free climbing outweighs the negatives. Horses for courses and I suppose thats why there are so many climbing devises on the market ATM. It would be interesting to run a poll to find out what the majority of people are using. I recon prussik loop would still be up there!

Pseudoinonotus would likely be the most likely. It all year round, it doesn't breakdown and go brown like wot is in the picture.
