    Alloy geckos are velcro top pads and leather straps for bottom. Just std gaff size with them. Skyhuck supposed to be having them but havent had any contact yet. Will be in touch with other interested parties soon if Skyhuck doesnt want them. Cheers

    Hi there, We are just about to start making a new chip box for a new works vehicle. Was going to get alloy planking.... i've heard "service metals" is the place to go? From my recollection of previuos posts on here anyhow. Is this correct? Also where can i go to get bespoke sized roller shutter doors to fit to a tool cabinet? many thanks in advance. cheers Chris

    Thats one thing yes but then its all these threads with people going on about brass that fills their heads with generic crap that doesnt apply to all, too many variables. Not location specific etc i think facebook and arbtalk have made this subject worse.

    I can agree wit Joes comments on higher money means more difficult / shittier jobs. A good few years back my rate went up to 150 a day climbing..... i weeded out the crap payers and messers. Bearing in mind at thisnpoint i was running my own business. on the climbing side of things i had a few good regulars but even some of them went quiet on the phone as why pay 150 out for a job a 100-120 man can do? would you? thus when the phone rings youd be going.... hmmmm whats this job lol always did the jobs aswell. Ive been on 200.00 a day aswell for higher pressure jobs and harder timescales. also i dont freelance much now adays and to be fair when i do IT FEELS LIKE A DAY OFF !! More relaxed and i always find it a good day
