This beast is at least four times the size of the last one you took off me, it's so big even the limbs are worth planking.....watch this space for pics, she's a creamer:thumbup:.

Rob I have just acquired the takedown of the biggest Walnut I have ever seen in my life and it would have to be milled on site. You got first dibs on it if you're interested mate. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Nice one mate, I reckon I'll be coming up your place for a lesson before long:thumbup1: Should'nt you have been paunching instead of splicing today:001_tongue:

Tim, did you splice that thimble in and lock stitch it yourself?
-
You did mate and I've just replied..

I'd wait a couple of years and let Stihl sort out the inevitable teething troubles at other peoples expense.

I never used to be like that, once upon a time I would agree on a price over the phone then take the bloke on only to find out he could talk a good job but could'nt actually live up to it. So no more deals like that for me I'm afraid. Sometimes I'd find someone that could actually do what they said they could do and was great for a week or two then wavered. My wife used to say "Ere we go, another new broom sweeps clean for a week or two".... I have four freelancers on my books these days, blokes that I know can do the job. The rest can come work on a trial day only and if they aint good enough they can sling their hook and take what I think they've been worth to me.

I have the 275p and think its a good little machine for the size and weight. £3000 sounds like a bargain.
-
I know but why start talking about money before you've shown what you're actually capable of. Imo you should go in on a days trial, prove what you think you're worth then talk money at the end of it. I've had far to many blokes say "I can do this and I can do that and I want x amount per day" but when it comes to the crunch they can't do half of what they say and tbh it gets right up my nose so from now on I tell em what I think they're worth at the end of the day and if they dont like it then tough, bugger off!!!
-
Aint no wonder. Why mention money? What you should do is go to work for a days trial and let the boss tell you what you're worth.
-
You must be mad for not charging. A little extra chucked in on a job 'while you're there' is one thing but five hours and £30 in fuel is another. A pocket full of thankyou's wont buy you much.

Anyone used commercial body builders based out of bilston?
Mick Stockbridge replied to orang utah's topic in Arb-Trucks
Yeah I understand what you're saying but what I am saying is that after x amount of years in any game everyone slips up at some point. It's great to be full of beans when you start off in a new venture but as the years roll on it's a cert that you'll slip up at some stage. -

With respect youre very new to this game and in twenty odd years from now I'll bet a pound to a penny you will have a let a few people down for one reason or another.
