Sounds good as long as not too much shake in the butt.... I'd have a crack but it's just a bit too far.....
-
It's £45 to arbtalkers and is here alaskan mill I home of the portable chainsaw mill I'm a little biased here but I wouldn't be selling them if they were no good.

I think after 3 months firm action is needed. You can fill in the small claims form. It costs you £30 (ish been a while since I did one). The courts will then contact them with the summons. They can reply why they did not pay and this is then copied to you. Or they may pay up. But you'll be harder pressed to prove anything without any initial paperwork. Do you have any invoices towards the job? Pictures of you doing it? Other witnesses that saw you do it? What happens if they say you never completed it to satisfaction? It's the above or put it down to hard experience....

These are good [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG-tdr3X2s0]Precision Grinder.wmv - YouTube[/ame] And you get 10% off with arbtalk.

Ah I see what you mean! Sorry have not got round to sending pics You could use the mini mill for this free hand (without the rail) and a long carving bar to get a more curvey curve.

It's a great idea but managed fine with a stick for 10 years but I can see how it would come in handy.

Nice Bart. They do make a lovely piece of hanging art

Bear in mind you'll have to do all the splitting next year and sell for next season as there's no way that wood will be burning this year. In the meantime where will you store it etc. ? Making something out of it i.e. posts and rails - great but you then need to sell it to someone... I'd be careful about venturing into something like this. Or at least re negotiate terms. Also he must be very trusting - how will he know how many loads you've sold and how much you're getting for it?

Cheers Andrew. Or send a disc to: Robert Dyer Silver Street Garden Machinery Hordle Hampshire SO416DG

Navara problems - anyone else any experience with them?
Rob D replied to Big J's topic in Arb-Trucks
Well you've def put me off ever getting one! What a nightmare and brand new.... hope you get it sorted. -
Just get in there and start pricing....

Yes angle grinder type sanders are the way for rapid removal of material. Great original table.... you going to try and sell it? I've just ordered a dewalt angle grinder that will take the 4.5" velcro discs that has a speed control. Those fibre discs are fine on full speed angle grinders but they burn the grain as you go to 120 grit above.

That Farmi looks good. What size diameter does it take and how well does in cope with bendy branches? I like the fact it is self powered.
-
Some good original ideas there
-
Looks excellent concept but ditto needs something there. Not so bad when you start with a long branch but the last couple of cuts - that's too sketchy as it stands. Trouble is when you get tired, it's raining.... But like it!
-
Looks perfect for the job. Where are you in County Sligo? My mum was born Carrick Banner (I think it's spelt) and I've been over in younger days surfing Bundoran... great fun!
-
Nice Andrew and thanks for posting. Any chance you could e-mail me the pics to [email protected] so I can use on my website? Also some pics of the final mantlepiece in position!
-
Like the way you put the vid together - very original

Are logs a sideline or a full time business ?
Rob D replied to Dave Martin's topic in Firewood forum
I wouldn't agree with this especially being that a great deal of the time people may be using machinery that means they can't answer the phone. Returning answerphone messages promptly, being polite, being knowledgeable, selling dry logs not wet... these are more indications of professionalism. -
Are you looking to sell this year?
-
Great shelves by the way - cracking yew!

From the research I've done on the net (approx 3 to 4 hours) indicates it would be incredibly rare for someone with a nut allergy to get a reaction. From what I gather someone who could die from touching a raw peanut could drink refined peanut oil and not get any reaction. Not sure why it works this way. However this is done over the net so far from being gospel....

There's a range of bars that would fit that saw... .... and you'll get what you pay for.

Lovely work there Walnut oil and coconut oil have less tendency to go rancid in wood. Another method I've been using is heated walnut oil then you dissolve beeswax in. Sounds complicated but easy to do. This then gives a foodsafe wax easy to apply and non rancid forming. I've used Danish oil for years.... not too keen on using it for say a chopping board and things like this.

A few more pics. The bed was joined by the local joinery firm (I've not got the patience for a router). Simple to make but handy if you know somewhere that can rip down and plane your planks. Elm was bought off Big J. Really lovely piece of wood for the headboard.
