amazing work mate,,truly inspiring!!

had mine since new,,,apart from noisey rod ends,,,perfect,,,better than my old hilux any day,,,,

:confused1:what was wrong with it?#

TOM 10 beat me too it,,,dito him,,,,,

cant you mill it on site?

wicked,,,

if it was chesnut,,im using it,,,lol

all lovely mate,and the orange is so real looking,,,

:thumbup:

as above whitebeam,,,

if your buying in the round its hoppus foot, only converts to cubic feet when square,ie milled!..loads of threads on this ,do a search mate,,, sometimes offering what you want to pay works,,as long as both party`s are happy,=result.

some great tips from big j ,rob and agg221,,really is a good deal of valuable experience on here,most it through trial and error, from my experience i wouldnt bother with the chestnut, but the maple is worth a go,,,be tempted to metal detect it though, as all the boundary ones Ive milled,,usually have fence parts in them, Made some benches out of larch last yr,,grain looks nice and its quite durable,,

very nice mate,,,

yes went out and did a load of chipping to help out another tree company who`s van had broken down,,,,got soaked through,,,but now showered and dry,,,,

the only joints are in the frame, morticed and tennon,and draw pegged, the boards where that wide,,,,

keep the tasty stuff for me kev,,,,,

really like that,,well done

hi kev, no it wasnt your lot,,I`d had it a while,,,,yours will be used next yr probs,,, (:thumbup1:i have woodmizer and alaskan)

thanks,,did simple design because thought the grain did the rest,,,

made this up last week,,and sold it straight away, was lovey bit of yew,

its the same with everything council related,,,you rattle there cage and it seems to be something to justify there jobs,,,ive also just spent 9mths getting planning permission for a greenhouse and shed on my allotment,,,had to go above the council to get the result,,,after explaining the permitted development rule to them,, if I hadnt done the right thing,ie inquire,,then i could have removed it monday,,but ,,surely thats not right,,,

nice was the wrong word,,,! good points /and I agree,,,,,,can get the jobs we were rained off on done now I suppose,,,

to be honest lads,,as much as I like this job(treework) and like the fact the customer wants me to fell and make them something from the job,,its a nice tree! and a shame its to be felled,,,I hate seeing good trees come down,,,, but,,,,,,,,,,I checked yesterday,,as had feeling there would be lots of complaints,,so wanted to cover my arse,,,,,,,and am angry council decide to slap one on,,,,if its such a good tree why wasnt there one on it? and as rupe points out,,there seems to be a valid reason for its removal,,so hey ho,,i will have to wait for six wks,,,,unless they create a new rule,or exception,,,,lol

flustrated beyond belief,,,,,,,got asked to take down a tree locally the other day,,as its a oak thought i`d ring and check TPO,,,,(normal procedure) my reply was "we`ll give you an answer by tomorrow lunchtime? I said either there is ? or isnt? next day......... 12am nothing? so ring,,,,,shes busy with somebody else,,,,,(in the pub),,,,1.30pm,,get a reply saying yes she`d seen a note on her desk to ring me but hadnt had chance,,,,,so I asked again is there>? or not,,she said she was searching for paperwork!,,,, 3.30pm message on 121 ,,,yes there is a tpo? funny as my client had been into council and checked(I was double checking) she(client) explainded the reason, movement in dwelling,insurance refusal!,,apparently tree officer said should be no problem,,,,, I ring back and say this system is flawed!!! if everytime I ring to clarify ! you wack a tpo,,,on then I`m stuffed? ....she says ,,this is the law!....I say have a nice weekend,whilst I find four guys work for monday!!! I cant write my flustration,,,,

I`d take more days off mate,,wicked,,,,
