  1. I found that it does supple up after abit but it is very stiff to begin with, I think it is very heat resistant so if would burn out your rope quicker if decending fast.
  2. Our council are giving away thousands of free trees in our area as a get public involed, they give you info how to look after them all sorts.
  3. All this kit and no pics. When can we get pics pleaseeeeeeeee:001_smile: I like pics me do:001_smile:
  4. So it's old fungus then, well almost a year
  5. I would mix both softwood and hardwood as people have said they all burn well when dry. When i lived in sweden we burn pine and birch all burnt well and very hot, especially in the saunas too. Keep options open and educate yourself and people better, SOFTWOOD GOOD, UNEDUCATED PEOPLE BAD
  6. I would say the local authority they have taken the money off them surely it should be in there price. If it's you surely it would cost you more and therefore your day rate goes up.
  7. I would have one that provides good after sales service and the closest for parts and services. I have mainly used greenmech and had no problem with them top machine and a great bunch of people.
  8. Bloody lucky, Glad no one got hurt
  9. People make jam out of rowan berries, so i not think it would be that.
  10. Any offers on trimmer and spares, I'll let it go for £110 + postage
  11. As you have most of them already (you can grind the scrapers to any shape) i Would buy a 3/8 and 1/2 bowl gouge fingernail and a 3/8 spindle gauge fingernail, 1/16 parting tool it good too. Look at robert sorby. Classic Hand Tools Limited - Robert Sorby - Individual Tools This is one place to get them but search around i'm sure you can get cheaper:001_smile: If i can help in any way let me know and i'll see what i can do

  16. From the top 1/2" bowl gauge, 3/8 Bowl gauge (both fingernail), Scraper, Roughing gouge, Scraper, Parting tool, Scraper, Spindle gauge 3/8" fingernail, Spindle gauge 3/8 standard, Little one on side is a parting tool. The square end scraper is for doing bottom of boxes, the round one is bowls and the angled one I use foe anything really V cuts, Good foe around curves.
  17. Or brown sauce?????
  18. They are all basically scrapers apart from the first marples tool which is a parting tool. The scapers basically get the lumps and bumps out can do shaping with them but need to be carefull. If you only want to do bowls get a fingernail bowl gauge 3/8" and 1/2" I'll post pics of what i have.
  19. Bloody hell have you been polishing it, It's more shiny than it was when i saw it
