  8. Any updates on the price of red is it on the up or on the way down (I wish)? looking for 500l or 1000l, not vast quantities.

    If its in its gone, only applies for wood, not concrete, steel or stone. He's talking shite

  12. Buy some timber tongs/ pulp hooks then they take the wear.
  13. Came off gumtree £450, only 40 miles away, better than the portable ones. Picked up last night, took to bits to check over (cos I'm like that), back together now planing with it
  14. Just bought a 10" sedgwick planer thicknesser. Does anyone have a manual for it or a copy of it that they could send me. Does anyone know of a fence for it as it was missing. Thanks

    rising costs

    Its all about choices, we had a large Ash stem to fell last week could maybe of felled it alongside house on top of river bank, could of hit the house only had 8ft to play with, went safe aimed nearer the river and that's where it ended, pain in the arse getting 8-10T out of there but at least no damage to listed building. With regards to Merc versus Corsa, its all a numbers game, our business is just small fry in comparison. Suck up the increase and pass it onto customers

    rising costs

    Don't do work in Knightsbridge or cut smaller.
  17. Took an Oak tree out of a river at the start of the year. The whole tree root plate and all had slipped down the cliff, landed on top of 40K of wood bridge snapping it in half. It all ended up in the river. No access for large machinery took us 2 days with a 5t and a 2t digger to get it all out and on top of the bank. Bridge was burnt on site, Cost was over 2K. Oak kept for firewood.
  18. As mentioned check rod diameter and split dies are easier. IIRC do you not lubricate brass with paraffin when cutting threads?
