  1. Yes in the caravan mate. The dogs have now been punted out due to border terrier emissions
  2. Does it have the oily button? I used to feel like a Timber God pressing that on a back cut. Didn't make any diference but I felt awesome
  3. It's been a busy day !
  4. Welcome to the forum, that's a lot of wood, well to me anyway. Best of luck with the venture
  5. I've only done a few days Alaskan milling, the best way I found for ease and board finish was too start the saw in the wood as usual, then once its a bar width in, lock the throttle with a tie wrap and pull the mill along with a bit of rope 1 handed, the control is great, theirs no vibrations and your away from the dust and dangerous bit. When near the end , pop of the wrap and finish as usual. You really need a helper for doing the wedges. I've got a pic at home I'll dig out when I'm home.
  6. Did he need it to tie his blind dog to? He he
  7. I don't usually like the shiny finish but when I look at that picture I hear Glug Glug Glug in my head! I want some pudding now
  8. Best thread title ever!! Very talented indeed!!
  9. I don't take sugar in hot drinks, don't drink fizzy juice, my diluting juice is sugar free. I need the motivation to do something but I just don't have it
  10. Sounds nice , tbh my diet is good and not too far away from that. I know when I'm having snacks and rubbish and I've kept a food diary for 2 weeks with the App, and I was within my 2700 that was with the odd pack of crisps .
  11. Definately, before kids came along and I didn't really do any sitting about I was 11 stone 2 and like Zebidee! I understand I'm 8 years older now but I feel like an old man compared to then and I didn't go near a gym. To save me searching the thread, what's your daily food intake.
  12. That's cool, so are you cutting with your natural feeling of where you should with experience ?
  13. I need to do something, I usually hit the gym this time of year for getting ready for spring but I'm sick of it, it's so boring and time consuming .
  14. Nice 1! Personally I feel done in most of the time. I may give this a try, I would need the house to be irradicated from all goodies though as I get bored in the house and raid the cupboards. How much weight have you lost?
  15. Today
  16. Imo trousers are the most important part of Ppe , get a pair of Type A, 36" waist, 32" long trousers, simples Also a pair of protection wellies are good and cheap. Make sure the saws chain catcher is there aswell. A mask for dust is useful aswell.
  17. Jas P Wilson.
  18. So new Diet guys, how's things going? More energy, loosing weight, feeling good? That's about 5 weeks now I think, interested to know how your doing
  19. That's Liam's grandad! He's got over a million hits on utube I'm sure for his 090 oak cutting.
  20. Do you type with your phone? I couldn't be bothered using the arrows to do each letter with the TV doodler.
  21. You'll fit a lot more in stacking it.
  22. Glug some chain oil inside it and waggle the levers about . Then I'd stick it in for a service , mine cost £60 at my local rigging shop.
  23. I've got a smart Tv, its in the boys playroom. I've started using it for utube to save my neck from the Ipad. How do you get on the forum with it? I launched the instructions obviously
  24. Imo it should be climber, 2 groundies and chipper 1 day. Then 2 groundies, 1 cutting , 1 stacking the other day. This is if the timber is to be splitatable sizes . Second tree looks like a fell or top out and fell. I'd day it was a £700 plus vat job and I'd do it my way in a day with Mog, hiab and chipper and take me 3 tonner with grab and 1 Groundie . If you can get £1400 nice 1. Do not assume you will get other work without a written contract .
