  1. A few pics of working in a woodland.
  2. Cheers everyone
  3. Pm me a price please, cheers
  4. Where is the best place to get them from ??
  5. Can't you do a temp fence around it ?? like the wooden ones you have on building sites, or an electric one would be funny
  6. Wow, i really like that beautiful
  7. Shame about all the windows at the back, not much space to pile high so i would say 25 per week. Maybe a bit more if security is good asuming some kit is going to be left there.
  8. I'll give you £10 a crate of beer and a twix, hows that sound Pete.
  9. I've been having a mental time for a while but since moving into new place it's like i've found a new burst of energy and so positive now, a new start. Also the last few weeks i've heard of people and a close friend are going through much more difficult times than me, it sort of puts things into perspective. I find writing thing down helps lots too
  10. Boxer Power and Equipment - Home (Tel: 01666 500 123) A very helpful family team, lots of various attachments
  11. Thats clinched the deal for me too All i need now is an iphone
  12. People say every ten years, but my doc said you only need it once as it lasts for life.
  13. The way the tree is leaning and weighted it wouldn't hit the garage anyway IMO, So i would fell it or chog it down as firewood. I can't see the point of the extra cost of cranes/hiabs for this task, especially when the customer will take it for firewood.
  14. Try resizing them 800x600 should work otherwise it will take forever.
  15. I would glue clamp and sand, as sometimes if you pack a split with dust and glue it can make it split more. also if the split gap is to small it would pointless doing anything with it, an option would be to cut split bigger and glue and fill in layers (like you would filling a crack in a wall). hope it makes sense i've had along day , if not i'll type again tomorrow
  16. There are mixed opinions on oils tbh, it's all about how long iit takes the oil to cure. Danish oil is one of the better ones, but some people say its only good for toys but not for food safe items. Personaly i stick to what i know and tried, it can get quite confusing sometimes i wouldn't use it for food but would for other furniture or trinket items. I guess there is no right or wrong nothings 100% safe as people react to things differently,
  17. Chestnut do a food safe oil or mineral oil
  18. Some food based oils oxidise in the air (olive oil one of them) and can form a surface that is rancid and could possibly taint food. It is highly unlikely that anything serious would happen but when I supply work to other people that involves food I use Chestnuts food safe finish or bees/carnuba wax. I always supply a certificate describing how to care for the piece too. Beautiful work by the way
  19. Pm Mark bolam he was looking for a bike.
  20. The pic that i put up works tho the brambles do come back but more easier to spray new growth. plus the wild flowers that have now grown in place of most of the bramble are unbelievable.
  21. Use on of these
  22. I guess you'll be buggerd if you've ran out of fuel and just walked a few miles to the petrol station, to get told sorry computer says no
  23. Stone cold Steve Austin with the stone cold stunner. The Rock, Bret the hitman hart, dudley boys, plus all of the above.
