    Yes dead easy once you get it setup right, stitched up my chainsaw trousers that were going to be thrown, ill get another 6 months out of them now, do that twice and the machine is paid for
  5. Dean Lofthouse
    This type of machine is one you can for example, feed your trouser leg over the "free leg" and sew the knee area, which is extremely difficult to do with a normal sewing machine with a flat bed. It's ideal for chainsaw trousers

    That would be brill, I'll pm

    It's a 320k free leg. I'm going to have to do some looking around for the thread as I'm using the thread that came with it, so don't know what it is

    Just yew cutting for me, ill just have to retire a bit later that's all They've been under the lamp for four days and they are looking perky already. I reckon on they'll grow three times quicker. These cuttings are destined for a hedge round my yard, I want it as big as possible as quick as possible without having to get a mortgage to pay for it. I've planted 200 already and need another 400 I reckon

    Only an hour to setup too. Just bought a 40ft x 22ft poly tunnel as well, if I was to do a grow I'd be able to retire next year

    I think it's important to re-emphasise Treespotters point on using a 12.9 high tensile bolt and not a standard 8.8 when you are using M5 bolts for life support, it is most important.

    It's mainly for shelter and dinner tea breaks, just somewhere warm in winter to sit and have our sarnies and have a brew kit. I would not be bothered if it had wheels although I'd remove them to prevent theft.

    For a little office type portacabin in the yard (green belt) to use as a welfare unit for me and employee, kettle, bog, eating facility etc I was looking at a 10x8 or something similar

    A diagram or photo would be helpful but I would think the TO would follow the test of time theory on this one. In other words..hoe old is the tree
  18. Dean Lofthouse
    I have one, Positioning the guard so it only exposes the "pull" part of the blade prevents any jumping or kickback. Very smooth fast wood removal

    One way to avoid upsetting neighbour with the odd chopping session is to buy an electric saw
  20. Dean Lofthouse

  21. Dean Lofthouse

    Re: type of wood, a lot of company's say they import their timber from Norway for the tight slow grown growth rings making a more solid and rot resistant wood. How would this compare to home grown timber and which species would be the best to use for resistance to bugs and rot?

    Found these images on codlashers link which is exactly what I'm after both internally and externally although maybe a tiny bit bigger
