At least another day, possibly more. The thought of ringing that up on site and tidying up all the sawdust freaks me out now.

Been thinking about getting a web site for some time now, so been clicking away with camera phone for some up to date pict's of resent works and thought I would post some hear. Done this job in one day last week. New climber on the job David Thomas was his 4th day climbing with us. Hope you enjoy.

Sutton. £80 I think is a fair price as long as you don't have to deliver the slab. Thick timber can sometime carry a premium from some cabinet makers as most timber suppliers don't usually like drying thick timber as it takes to long and they want the quick buck with the short timespan drying timber when thinner. I usually dry my timber thicker 2" + for this reason and if I need thinner stuff I can always pick it up fairly easily at most suppliers. Pedro. I personally wouldn't use 4" timber for table tops but I do use thicker timbers when making things. I think thicker timbers when dried correctly and used correctly definitely add to overall look and makes things look a bit more interesting.

Really like the unusual styled furniture, looks like its very well made with a good finish, well done your mate:thumbup1:Nearly every furniture maker I know, myself included, says that making the furniture is the easy part and selling at the right price is the hard part. Could your mate try and get some of the unusual pieces into local art galleries on sale or return. They normally take 30%commission if sold but times are hard and might be prepared to drop percentage, at least they will get seen by more people.

Bit of a de rail. I usually put bits of smallish 4" and 6" oak at the bottom of the kiln and forget about them, usually keep them in for 3 to 4 kiln loads. By that time they are as dry as your ever going to get them. Never had any problems with using it after that length of time drying.

Nice work Dan:thumbup1: Like the natural curved bit of Oak for head board. What have you use for finishing your wood.

Good luck mate. Bit curious to know if you worked for a company or if you worked for your self all that time. Not being nosy, just wondering if hard times just now are driving self employed into employment with guaranteed wage, if it can be found.

Anybody know if the vat increase will affect the lower rate vat on firewood.

Did you notice the tree when you were in for something to eat, if you did, did any thing look wrong with it. -
crane fed pto chipper hire needed south wales
robert t replied to clueless's topic in Large equipment
I know what you mean about the cost, my mate is looking for one just now to. I have just built my house and I justified some of the cost through the house build. To be honest my chipper isnt the best for feeding with the digger as the brash keeps catching the safety bar.and stopping the feed rollers. I would guess that I feed 50% with the digger but I usually have someone standing next to the chipper to manually feed the rest of what I lift the hopper. Its certainly a lot quicker and easier than doing all by hand. -
crane fed pto chipper hire needed south wales
robert t replied to clueless's topic in Large equipment
Would it be an option to get a grapple and rotator for your mini digger. Probably want manage to feed brash right into your towalong, but will save you so much time and effort not dragging brash to the chipper. -
Feedback on multi-tip stump grinder teeth
robert t replied to Tree Man Tom's topic in Large equipment
Tom, never used the multi tip, I use green teeth on the same machine and they work a treat. -
I tried this about 7 years ago. It wasn't tree work, it was for furniture making. The tv was mounted on the wall next to the tills, same thing cost was on the amount of time ad runs. I didn't realize when I signed up that there was no sound with the ad. I ran the ad for a year and didn't get one lead from it, so it didn't work for me. A while after my ad I was doing an exhibition in another garden center with one of these tv ads and watched with interest how little,if any, people paid attention to the tv. As said was while back and maybe the set up is better now, but definitely the the lack of sound didn't make people take notice.

what size of trailer? how far to deliver?
-
Hi clueless, Seen a tailer and chipper combo on ebay last week, I think. Not a 3pt linkage but a large tipping trailer with extended draw barr where a large chipper was fixed. I didn't look to carefully but I imagine the chipper ran from PTO. Thought it was good idea. Will look at ebay again and see if its still there.

Peter, I was just about to start a thread on the general overall service, that we receive from business banks. I will follow this with interest as it might cover some of points that I was going to mention. I business bank with the Bank of Scotland and previously used Royal Bank of Scotland. I would say there is not a straw to pick between them, they are both RUBBISH,

Mike never herd the saying "Rigging" Cost? before. The more I'm thinking of the prices, the more I'm leaning to wards going with a hourly rate, which would include traveling to and from site, probably a brake down of the day figures I first posted. That way I could be more flexible if clients wanted machine on site early and working late. I would have the machines all prepared and ready to go in my on time, prior to my arrival on site so the clients not being charged when machines not working.

Ive never used the dimmond tip before so keen to follow this thread. I use the green stone on a bench grinder. If the teeth hits something hard and gets blunted bad it wares a good bit off the stone to re sharpen. The stones are about £40 so it works out pretty expensive if your using the grinder regularly, so the dimmond tip could be a better option. My larger main grinder is fitted with green teeth and I find them easer to turn the teeth to sharper edge quickly on site and dont have the same problem with constantly braking the finger teeth.
