Nice bench and nice view
-
My mate has a Stihl lecky one and it works well using it for cutting his firewood.

Sorry but don't think it's the same in the slightest - in the tree world we complain about getting undercut by people with no training, no insurance, no safety gear... You're complaining about getting undercut by competitors. So are you saying these competitors are operating illegally? Do you have proof of these other drivers being pushed to the limits? If these other drivers/firms are unsafe that needs to be looked into. Going on strike should not come into it.

As long as it was sound all the way up the main trunk - there looks to be an old cavity at the end..... I dunno between £100 and £150 if someone collected from site..... like everything depends on how much someone wanted it.
-
Looks a good one - prob too far for me though....
-
Tasty timber - and pretty rare. Put some pics up of what you make
-
I know what you mean I've had a few bites from these flys and the area swells up like a balloon for 3 to 4 days.... the only good thing is they seem to be slow moving but they are very persistent once they decide to chew on you!
-
Again very nice - I've done a few benches in very similar design to this but a bit 'chunkier' looking. They work well and seem pretty popular.
-
Like it
-
You can't assume that - you need to go to the Doc asap as a lot of problems can be sorted but the times they can't are often down to leaving it too late.... get yourself down there or A&E - none of us like it but sometimes it has to be done.
-
Cracking piece of work - was it hard to scope/saw all the material out from the middle or do you have a short cut?
-
Unfortunately I cam never see Aspen coming down in price unless fuel duty is reduced on it...
-
All day from 9am to 9pm labeling chains, the storage area and tidying.... a never ending job but got one area now finally sorted... But it was a quiet job!

Complete Sawmilling service Scotland and Northern England
Rob D replied to Big J's topic in Milling Forum
Nicely done Jon and hope you get plenty of work for your new mill -
If it is occasional use then both those saws would prob be fine. With all the hobby/home user type saws there doesn't seem to be one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest. On another note and without being patronising make sure you have chainsaw boots and trousers. These should be bought before buying the chainsaw! Also a short course will save you time and money in the long run. FR Jones organise something here if you live nearby Things you didn't know you needed | F R Jones and Son

I know what you mean Stevie but sometimes if you've had a bad day it's nice to know you're not alone and that there are others that have had worse and are dealing with it!

Another reason why I will ALWAYS buy an iPhone.
Rob D replied to Old Mill Tree Care's topic in General chat
Your other points I thought were valid and fair enough but this last one just sounds like you have a rather large chip on your shoulder. -

I find the e-mail reading on smart phones very handy and also being able to take pics and videos as you always have your phone with you. Their marketing strategies are irritating but just don't join the queue when they bring something new out.... a few months later and it's easy to buy. But it can get a bit much when out socially and all everyone is doing is fiddling with their phones if they make so much as a murmur -
I don't think you can get the ES bar in 15"... the shortest they do is 16"
-
Have to be a bit careful on this one as most grants I've heard of you're not allowed to spend any money until the grant has been officially awarded.... i.e. you've started your training already... But again depends on grant...
-
What you have there is absolutely fine and it'll be perfectly dry for next winter.
-
Had a customer for some mill bits today and they have a conifer job (reduction I think...) to carry out - to be honest I didn't ask many details. Sounds like a fairly biggish job so if anyone interested PM me and I'll give you the phone number for the customer. First 4 digits of postcode are TN12
-
You'll almost want some of those boards they stick in the tree in the log type competitions - I've always wanted to know how they work.... must be more comfortable wielding a big saw from spikes.
-
The reason we "quote" and not fix the price
Rob D replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in Picture Forum
Ouch - and on such a wee conifer as well. -
The other thing you could do is try and quarter it then transport it... As Jon says if you have a decent butt like this that is this diameter and that tall then it should be worth some cash....
