  1. thats excatly why I avoided the pub and had a few sneaky ones at home,lol
  2. 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.....
  3. having my first beer paul,a "butts organic real ale" 31 days beer free,god this ones amazing! lol
  4. dont forget to post a pic of the whole table,they look good!
  5. chucked it down all night last night,,cant wait to see the yard!
  6. look forward to the results,as I too have been convinced to buy a tin, and it aint cheap! last time I tried fiddes exterior oil, and it took an age to dry,wasnt inpressed, maybe it was too cold? i`m also very impatient:sneaky2:
  7. yeah was tempted with this one!
  8. yipes what a day! and people question the end price of milled timber!? look forward to some pics,,,
  9. usually about ten minutes before your next bill:lol:
  10. 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:
  11. nope, poolewood euro 2000,tis a beaut,!
  12. nice!! shame that cherry wasnt in my yard!
  13. now if you drove steve, you could be using mine!!!
  14. 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.
  15. 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!
  16. wicked!love the door too:001_smile:
  17. problem I`ve had is when it rains you get massive pools of water sitting on it, and eventually wear through,and sweats,I now use old tin sheets with pallets to weigh them down,and old closeboard fencing pannels from my fencing mate, not saying its correct but works!
  18. different aproach, hope it works:thumbup1:
  19. nice, seen one done in four before ,with the seats fitting under the table,,cheers for sharing!
  20. I bet thats never seen a river, dissapointed mate thought you may have caught some on the way to work? want to borrow a canoe?(p.s stay off the beer, 23 days here and feel motivated)have a good day, back to tree work here after a crafty three days.
  21. :001_smile:Rob D sells a good one on here!
