as it happens,i spent 5 yrs dealing with people littering, fly tipping and deciding to dump stuff in the countryside, I have the utter most disrespect for these selfish people! there are public tips available,yes they cost, but if you have any business savy, then you add this cost too the job, or you pay rent and have a yard! there is no excuse for fly tipping.full stop, apart from trying to save money. I`m glad you`ve seen the light and moved on, but rest asure I cant drive A mile from my yard with out seeing it,makes my blood boil!

had my ford ranger 54 plate from new, x demonstrator, its got 91k on it, towed at most 2 dozen times , its a rock! no problems, the usual rod end rubbers wearing, but cheap to replace, pulls the transit crewcab out now and again when stuck, if they made the same model today I`d buy one tomorrow. starts first time everytime, never lets me down, delivers 1.2 m3 of logs, I can sleep in it (got hard top).and gets the lucal mill on it! 10/10 in my eyes. and Ive had p100`s , peugeot 504`s. etc.....

Hi tony, one point to remember from the start is how you are going to be moving them around once milled? if you have a fork lift/telehandler you can obviously move larger pieces especially for beams, I`d suggest you mill some 2" boards, this will cover the tables(I`m presuming outside tables) and the benches. although I like to have some 8x2`s too so I can cut the back legs for the benches from these,giving you the taper of the back leg, but guess it depends on the style of bench your making. I find the mantle piece enquiries vary tremendously, from 6x4,8x4.6x2,,depends what sort of property there going in, old houses usually like the edges to be full of drawknifed edges, new houses usually clean lines. also dont make the mistake of cutting the boards too long as they`ll be heavy and you`ll probably end up cutting them up at some point anyway. look forward to seeing the progress:thumbup:

forestry planning permission
delabodge replied to roglog's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
what really pee`s me off ,is they use our tax payers money to fight us! had a fight over my allotment last yr,took 9mths of meetings,letters bouncing back and forth, and in the end I won, do your research, find out what they would allow? might mean taking the barn down for a bit, dont presume the guy in the office totally knows what hes talking about! my locally council guy got his arse chewed off and had to give me my planning application money back as we didnt actually need it! good luck and keep researching options. -
good luck mate:thumbup:
-
steve! Matty has probably chainsaw milled this tree, which is hard work, and worth every penny of between £20 and £30 cubic ft, I dont let mine go for any less, rather use it myself!
