self propelled chipper (Shreks wee chipper)
Ian Leach replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Large equipment
You pair make me laugh, You should start the Dean and Stevie show:biggrin: -
I did use an angle grinder until Dean (i think) said that it can be very dangerous and its to aggressive so now use a dremel.
-
indeed it is:motz:
-
They are very good imo, i use to use on when i lived in sweden there was a few mods made on the one i had like a detachable plate on bottom so you can add a bigger one which didn't sink as much and a bit of re enforcement on welds and stuff. A great bit of kit to add to your kit:001_smile:
-
Again i don't mean any disrespect but you don't say alot about yourself what quals etc etc, You didn't even reply to your last thread asking about what work to do tree wise:confused1:. So No i can't offer any advice at the moment.
-
I use this, the metal scrapers to keep a good line and curve of the lettering but the burner i have it quite accurate any way. There are bigger ones avalible but it do me fine. Do you router by hand or have you a template you attach to router??
-
I would get a new spliced one by someone you trust and then test the other to destruction or get someone to remove whipping and inspect.
-
Almost 10 years for me i started young:001_rolleyes:
-
I'm no expert i prefere the other one because it will hold tight on the karabiner, There seems to be an awful lot of black whipping on it too:confused1: compered to ones i've see before. Just looking at it i wouldn't buy it.

Voted 12" it's not always about size but how you use it:001_smile:

-
Nice got any pics of your fantastic setup yet:001_smile:
-
Very nice:thumbup1: You could burn the letters once you have routered them.
-
Wow, fantastic carvings
-
I work in my garage does that count:biggrin:
-
Big pile of nuts and a shooter, Hot chilli sauce on logs or chicken wire around your logs then electrify it.
-
Be careful if you turn it on a lathe because the knots in monkey puzzle are very hard and have been known to talk big chunks out of a turning gauge before.
-
I would leave it for now as the center is basically like a sponge so any shrinkage or movement should be absorbed by that, if you talk out the middle now it might move to much (If you see what i mean). I would love to do stuff like that but the neighbours would have a mental.
-
Very nice:thumbup1: The center of the monkey puzzle is usually quite soft so when the log shrinks it doesn't split as much so be careful with center.

Customer did complain because of the guy sat in the truck getting stoned plus customer was groundy for me and i got my arse kicked for using an climbing saw up the hedge and not having me ticket. Customer was very happy with me work tho, but can't please everyone.
-
Customer came out offering tea and the groundy said Dean doesn't want one and sat there drinking whislt watching you drag.
-
Yep ended up doing it and reducing a hawthorne hedge and removing pyrocantha after as well, pulling spikes and thornes out of me for a week after. The customer use to do bonsi trees and they were getting stolen so they planted as many spikey bushes they could find:thumbdown: I should of wore a suit of armour the pyrocantha spike went straight through my chainsaw trousers and into my leg you can imagine the language:sneaky2:
-
I mainly look for intresting grain patterns but these two surprised me how nice they are, the wife wants to keep it i keep telling her i'll never make any money .
-
I know how you feel mate, When i first started i was groundy for some one with a simular job to what you had . he ended up throwing the kit across the floor and said to me you do it this is not tree surgery and then sat in the truck and got stoned. You can imagine what the rest of my day was like.

Finished product
