what would you pay?

[Mortimer Firewood]

that's what i thought! although i forgot to say that i am only 16 and currently no tickets but i don't want this thread to revolve around having no tickets insurance and so on i have been on a course although unofficial with a instructor and covered cs 30 31 and 32 and also my father has worked in the woods most of his life so i can handle a saw

 

What do you think your worth?

What do you think your worth?

 

I have no idea! that why i am asking here at my apprenticeship 8am-5pm £40 a day not including overtime. I get a idea of what a groundy is worth by previous threads and its seems to be about £80 although that's completely different

What's it worth to you? Might be that he is a mean old bugger and only wants to pay a minimum rate. Or might be that you quote £38 and then take some timber or get a yard or meet a neighbour who wants more work. the point being that naught comes from naught so if it is not much pay, but you are out there getting experience then i say do it.

He wants to keep all the wood for firewood all i have to do is fell and cut to "sensible" lengths he sells firewood and that is what i done a price on last time 200 tonnes cut split and in bags although now he has bought a expensive posch 350 processor and forwarding crane although 200 tonnes was too much for me with only tractor saw axe and wedges i wouldn't want to do it like that again! very long days although when i bought the 395xp instead of the 262xp that sped things up!

Thats a very different story, IMO he's taking a big risk, if things go wrong he could be in serious bother.

Good friend offering you £25/day!

 

You won't need many enemies.

 

Get your 30/31 sorted, commercially you're not worth anything without them.

I want to but from my understanding you have to be 17 and I already have a full time job in agricultural engineering, although that's not a excuse for no tickets!

you can get your 30/31 if you are 16 , my apprentice did last year, i paid him £25 day. But i give him all ppe, saws , training and pay tickets
