From seeing part of a break in on cctv, lighting is a deterent, but it must be out of reach. Steel work is very effective putting some boxing around the lock so you cant reach it with bolt cutters. Those van locks with the round padlock with the pin inside look hard to cut. I have melted STOLEN and our postcode into every piece of body work with a soldering iron to make it harder to sell. Photos and serial numbers seem obvious but most people don't record them. I was fortunate enough to get my stuff back when I found it on ebay, but all the many other items in the persons house the police struggled to prove were stolen as the serial numbers had not been reported. photos could be done at work tommorrow on your phone and show really unique wear or damage if it gets recovered. lots of people have slated the police but if they recover stuff but the owners did not bother writing down the serial number then there job is made harder.

Hi, I used a mobile sawmiller to mill our sweet chestnut coppice into 4x3" posts as it was cheaper than buying softwood stakes. We had trunks 6-18" diameter. Some had ring shake, some were fine. It is still worth milling the ones with shake as some were fine and some just had an edge missing. In the end with the other ash, sycamore, yew oak etc on estate we bought a small woodmizer. we can then cut all the nice hardwoods to dry, but also posts, chestnut gravel boards, gate posts etc. A mobile sawmiller may set you back 300-350 for a day, which is only the cost of 100 DECENT guaranteed stakes once vat and delivery has been paid, so worth cutting your own if you can get the trees to the yard and load him.

Hi where abouts are you?

Couldn't have put it any better

Hi, I'm in Surrey. That's interesting, had not thought of that. Hopefully the trunk will be down soon. Thank you Alex
-
Thank you, Yes it.s a huge trunk, i will see when the trunk is down. At least there are some nice limbs to do.
-
Hi I am having a large oak taken down which is far too big for the woodmizer. It is down to the first fork, and the branches are 40- 50". The trunk is about 6ft at the base. I am hoping the trunk will be good inside,but the branches look pretty good, and I would like to do them through and through with some nice forks. Is there an Alaskan that will do 60-70"? Is anyone in the surrey area that would mill on site into 2 1/4 and 3" slabs? and if so how much? Thank you Alex
