The core is pushed out.

Because other people bidding gives people confidence. I started an item on ebay at £500 and did not have a single bid, then relisted with a starting bid of 99p and it sold for £950. "have not met the reserve" is not meaningless, it actually very simple and informative.
-
Err, no, most auctioned items of any value have a reserve, normally some where between trade and retail price. The current prices on these items are very low, you would get more selling straight to a dealer for resale.

I hear Yew and Laburnum are popular

I uses to be terrible always thinking about work, planing jobs in my head, looking at every tree thinking about how I would tackle it, I real could not switch off, but after more than 20 years l now find its hard to switch on, there are so many other things I rather be doing.

good man, you won't regret it!!!

That is the penalty. Ideally you want to pay of the remaining capital and not all the interest you would have paid had the loan gone full term. If your going pay the exact same amount, or very close to that amount, today as you would letting the loan run, why on earth pay it off now?? Far better to stick the lump sum in your account and allow it to make the payments, this at least gives the freedom to use the lump sum if need for other things, without needing to arrange new finance.

He has said the cap fits others saws, so it obviously a problem the tank hole.

I really like the look of these, I had mistakenly thought they were sprung to absurd shock. So do the they extend when weight bearing? While I like the idea, does the needle retracting as you shift weight not leave them less securely into the wood?

Hehe I was thinking the very same I would be ashamed of such poor chip

I think some times its easy to worry far too much, just watch the news and consider how insignificant our first world problems really are:001_smile:

Round file, as with all chains, just a very small file.
-
The fact that you took the saw in to the place of purchase complaining it was hard to start and they did not check the colour of the plug (meaning then they would have discovered it was loose) suggests to me that they are not fit to be selling saws. I'm also surprised that saw users experiencing starting issues don't remove the plug? Checking for a spark is always my first move.

Not all of it.

No, they have ability along with their passion, its their ability that brings the success, not the passion. Your better working where your ability lies and having your passion as a hobby, if the two are in different areas.

I think a 2 man team, 3.5tonner and 6" chipper today should be on £450+VAT minimum. -
You appear to have missed my point, there will always be some Ash and for a luxury product such as the Morgan it will be found
-
How?? Scarcely generally pushes prices up, not down:confused1:
-
Good advice
-
They build them pretty slowly, I don't imagine the get though huge amounts of timber. My understanding is that on the continent 65% of Ash have been affected, so even worse case scenario we will still have a fair bit of Ash. Also infected Ash timber is unaffected, so timber can be harvested, dried and stored.

PM not sent.

Its simply indicative of what drives down rates in our industry. If the guy had said "Oh I did not expect it to be £360, that far more than I wanted to pay" that would suggest I'm too expensive. The fact is I often get people who are more than happy with my price, but are they are then shocked by a much lower price. 20 years ago I ran a 3.5t pickup and 6"chipper, at that time I charged £280 per day on average for a two man team. I know that there are guys near me charging similar today, its madness.

Little under with my kit.

Indeed. The stupid thing is that customers are happy to pay more, its not a job they can do themselves.
