    if i had the money i would of yeah man this ones 3 phrase, scrapped a big old genterator and old guy lorry that were going to power it a while back, he used them for all his band and circular saw sharpening machines before he sold them, another load of things that would be cool to still have! yeah man thats right this ones got the rain tracks too yeah i can see why you decided that it is a fair old lump
  5. liamjordan
    that would be awesome to fell

    yeah man i put those two logs under it just to try it, but it does need to be lifted up a little bit more, so i'll find some bigger bits sometime

    Well i havent had much work on recently as my cousin has gone for a hip replacement, so made these benches in our field to keep myself busy, finished them off this evening, although im going to carve abit more out of the one at a later date All made from alder from the same field, does make it more satisfying using your own timber, have got some pics of me milling it with the alaskan, will have to get the camera developed though

    think its about £170 here at the moment i'll find out in the morn when i see grandad yeah man that the sort of thing! it was semi set up there, he had concreted it down and made the saw pit out of a big steel water tank, shame he never finished it
  9. liamjordan
    yeah man! theres probably another 15 ton plus under the sheet, so it was a fair size saw
  10. liamjordan
    What we were doing today blasphemy through my eyes, but whats done is done. Grandad bought a big old Danckaert Bandsaw years ago when a local saw mill closed down, he started setting it up in the yard but never got around to finishing it. So its just been sat covered up, and now we have started to scrap it slowly as he'll get a lot more money for it in scrap that what he gave for it. This saw is one hell of thing, im gutted i have never seen it going. Today we scrapped the wheels that the bandsaw ran on, these give you an idea of the size of the saw! That one piece on the landy weighed just under a ton, hell of a lump, and just fit nice and snug Well was a good day anyway
  11. liamjordan
    yeah man that where i did mine
  12. liamjordan
    aha yeah i agree on the prentative maintenance but say your machine does break down, and you have to get a forestry engineering to come out to you... that could be up to a day wasted, thats why i have done a years agri engineering and now going onto a years forestry engineering plus all the kit we run is old so its good to be able to keep all that going
  13. liamjordan
    i did mine when i was 16 with no experience piror to the training at college all for free? You should really find out why they wont let you
  14. liamjordan
    nice one mate! thats possibly the way im hoping to heading in the future, owning my own harvester would be awesome, one of the main reasons why i've been studying a lot of the engineering side of things, is to be able to fix and maintain big kit, this has potential to cut down huge call out fees, and its just bloody good fun
  15. liamjordan
    these machines are apparently one of the best for steep slopes http://www.forestryjournal.co.uk/pdf/Menzi%20Muck.pdf

    they ent actually chainsaw gloves, but who uses propper chainsaw gloves anyway? they are waste of money imo
  17. liamjordan
    i didnt really like mine, the fingers wore out pretty quick, they look snazzy though!

    never used one, but there was an indepth thread about it on here somwhere, a good review too http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/business-software/12105-drift-innovation-x170-helmet-camera.html
  20. liamjordan
    yeah done a few in the back of my landy lately, my own customers not grandads aha done 5 loads since last week, another one to do tomorow, ideal
  21. liamjordan
    nice one! the course im going onto says that theres an opportunity to go and do your harvester ticket at a partner college in scandanavia
  22. liamjordan
    ahaha mate i bet it will be better than my college... most of the time last year we had to wonder around in the morn untill we bumped into our tutor, then decide which room to go to, latley our timetable has been somthing like, arrive, fag break, canteen, fag break, IT room, fag break and so on
  23. liamjordan
    its the maintainance and repair side of things, seems very much the same as the ag one i just did, but forestry machine related when i went up for my interview they had a few "projects" going on in the workshop, stripping down and welding up some old harvester head, along with putting a roofmount back on a massey tractor after doing my ND forestry, i did the ag course mainly to learn how to keep all our old kit going, then after doing the course for abit i realised how much i actually enjoy the engineering side of things, so i though i may aswell try and combine the two fields of work i live for!
  24. liamjordan
    cheers man! ahah yeah student life is fun, but never have any money... i'll get back to you about those bars when my next google check comes through? that cool? cheers rob ahaha well it'll be a change to holme lacy... better tho? well i'll find out in august i suppose if theres some sort of timetable and organisation that will be a step up
  25. liamjordan
    Thats right today was my last day of college Just finished a Subsidary Diploma (think thats what it was) in Agricultural Engineering, just did it to expand on the National Diploma Forestry and Arb i did for the last two years. And in August will be off to Barony to do a National Certificate Forestry Engineering Cant wait!
