  1. On a serious note, what are the makita / dolmar top handles like. I heard they were the lightest on the market.
  2. Never owned one or used one, but yes, that is a sexy saw !
  3. Depending on bar length you want to use, but for a saw in the 50cc cat, i'd go dolmar 5105, ask shavey and tcd about them.
  4. I like that as well, nice one.
  5. Didn't the makita dcs5000 models also suffer from engine malfunction of similar sorts ?
  6. Another vote here for the husqy 135, decent little saw, will handle what you want it for.
  7. It looks a smart project, but that front ' A ' frame just doesnt look right for me.
  8. I like that, something so nice and functional, yet simple looking.
  9. If i was to go back to being self employed with my own joinery company, i would actually base it around the school runs. I wouldnt mind it and just factor it in.
  10. my friend does the gardens for the local church, so i help him out now and then. Also his wife organises social events, fayres etc. So now i make the things for them to sell or raffle to raise money for the church.
  11. Nice project. Keep the photos coming. Its an interesting idea.
  12. I have the pasload im350 framing gun and it is a decent piece of kit. Yes you need gas as well but it is supplied with the nails which are very expensive. The gas doesnt work very well in winter so you have to keep the gas warm. If possible i would try an air nailer, see if you can cope with the air lines and compressor, the nails are also a lot cheaper. Basically for site work i use the pasload, for workshop i believe the air nailer is best.
  13. Spotted this doing a tractor run around pickering last sunday.
  14. thats what i was thinking, it will be a guessing game the first few times i think.
  15. Hi all. I'm thinking about setting up a stall at some local country shows. I'm just wondering who does them and what type of products sell. Also do you just take along samples of larger stuff and then make them to order ( this is what i have in mind ). So what type of products are the best. I was thinking about a gate, a bench, maybe a kitchen table, a couple of different planters, and bird boxes so far. Any info would be much appreciated.
  16. Sorry for bad info, thats a new one on me.
  17. As pete said, anything under 3.5t, you dont need dcpc. I wouldnt even say you need to keep a comprehensive log either, unless its your company policy.
  18. I was led to believe that you shouldnt burn it because it releases bad toxins when burnt.
  19. I think there is a company called either MTS or MTB, they are based about 4 mile off junc 31 (m1) on the A57 towards sheffield.
  20. I'm trying to save for a 7900, but have noticed that the 9010, is sometimes cheaper or nearly same price as 7900. The 7900 is now the newer ea7901, whereas the 9010 is still the dcs9010. this could be the reason for the prices. So maybe you have a could point J.
  21. Agree, would try muttley, for this type of thing.
  22. Biscuit or dowel or maybe even half lap, depends on depth of timber. imo.
  23. Thats a brilliant piece of work.
  24. I personally would talk to your makita dealer. They are good saws for less money than your usual stihl/husqy. Also many on here like their echo's. It really comes down to dealerships etc that you feel comfortable with.
  25. I've spent 45mins on phone to an energy company tonight, and still non the wiser about things, except its costing me more.
