Don't use anything rigid for the safety flap.  If you're chipping blackthorn, apple or anything with jaggy shaped  branches (you know what I mean) they can start chipping fine and then get turned sideways by the change in shape as the first bits get chipped and just sit there - wedged behind the safety flap

You need flexible flaps 🤪 to be able to extract said branches and try again

Oh my gawd; beefy flaps on my poor little pencil sharpener.  What would the neighbors think?

 

What's the crassest thing we can think of to put on them? Then have a set made half that and half doobin's business livery. He loves the funny slogans.

AIN'T NO SALT ON THESE CHIPS

 

I WISH MY WIFE TOOK MY WOOD THIS ENTHUSIASTICALLY

 

DON'T MAKE ME SPRAY IT AGAIN!

Amazing work, but what the utter fuck has it achieved?

 

Roaster customers like that are top of my ‘no’ list.

 

Utter cretins.

Came here to post just about exactly what Mark did. Good skills floating right out there on nothing and doing an aesthetically pleasing job but I can't do that sort of thing because it just shoves it in your face how much of a dancing monkey you are to a client with more money than sense. Don't get me wrong, I'm a free marketeer and if someone wants to pay and you want to do it, great. But I'm too mentally tripped up for it. I can't do things I know achieve nothing except make me tired. Not until the money becomes unreasonably good anyway.

It's the owner's taste - same as trimming the bushes

Sorry to be boring @Mark Bolam but that’s a GRCS n’est pas@?

How do you rate it?

 

Thanks in advance, a fan.

 

Fortunately Mick it’s not mine.

My mate made the huge investment a few years back.

 

It is a bit of a game changer on the right jobs.

Not suitable for a casual groundie, the man on the bollard needs to know his stuff.

@John Shutler and @Rich Rule have way more experience than me, but I doubt either would have negative comments.

 

£3.5k now, a lot of Euros.

 

There are £2k jobs we couldn’t have done without it though.

 

AHHP is a convert as well, but I can’t tag him for some reason.

Yes, it’s a lot of moolah, but it looks inevitable that I’ll get one. 
I suppose they do fetch good money second hand, so when I retire in a few years there will be some money coming back on it. 
Thanks.
