  1. cheers rob! i know youre way works so i'll use it
  2. give that van a wash! thanks 18 stoner, best make a start on my box this week, any tips from you??!!
  3. rob, what was that drill bit you had for drilling out blanks to hide the screw heads called? gonna have to build a lean too now to store the wood, making too many planks, and storing in sheds there isnt enough wind flow to prevent mould!
  4. and sawdust!!!
  5. we had some concrete ones to attatch to trees on the edge of a construction site, they were supplied with a bit of thick curved wire to loop round the trunk. tbh i think a tree tie round the trunk, and some wire to attatch box to tie would be better
  6. as peter says, timberwolf support is good round this area. 30 hours? go for it, the one i use was brought new a year or so ago, now 350 hours, only one small eletrical problem
  7. did you order the sheets pre cut to size? how are you fixing the sheets to the frame? riviting?
  8. some yew, to be made into a table and some other stuf for xmas presents i can now see why people stare at paintings for hours on end, this wood looks beautifull in the flesh! and sorry Rob D for not sorting any wood out, but this milling lark is addictive!

  11. cambridge area?
  12. isnt the husky lid, and possibly the above lid, not suitable as tree climbing helmets now need to be tested for side impact protection?
  13. 200 460 660 880, the two id like to see performance upgrades in most would be the 200, but also the 880, id guess the 66/88 would be the easiest because of their size
  14. i hate re-topping connys, fair play to you boys!
  15. Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!
  16. ms660 is an awesome saw, my preference is the 660. . after the 395 seized

  18. we just hire some traffic lights out from a local tool/plant hire company for £50 quid a day, inc T/L signs & the STOP HERE signs. and use our own cones/blue arrows/men at work signs go for battery operated ones rather than generator ones as battery dont have any wires on the road
  19. it was great, its the simple things that make me grin like a psycopath
  20. nice. . . daft question, but will it stay shiny?
  21. windy willow day today sheds, fences, asbestos roof, lampost and helpfull wind and my new favorite saw combo-MS660 with 18" bar, and low depth gauges
