Hey guys, I'm trying to find that alloy planking stuff that the guys use to make chip boxes but cant seem to find the right stuff on the net, what is it actually called and who supplies it? Aluminium planking just fails to turn up the right stuff. Cheers

BBC News - Where are you on the global fat scale? 21bmi Below average You have a lower BMI than 95% of males aged 30-44 in your country Global Below average You have a lower BMI than 74% of males aged 30-44 in the world Did you know? If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 30,141,619 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population --- wow You're most like someone from East Timor*

I've used a machine like this before, it was crap, like a petrol chesse grater

I find 4x4 with trailer only works without a chipper, if you need the chipper you need a van / transit.

she sometimes uses salt, she did use pots of beer for a while but made her boak when she had to empty them, mostly she collects them up in a pot then flushes them down the pan, i keep waiting for one to come up and bite me on the arse. a tennis racket is good crack tho. -

My Mrs grows a bit of veg, she has a very personal vendeta against slugs, its quite funny to see her out in the garden with the head torch on committing mass genacide -
I think next is a controled landing, like a bird, flare his wings and land on his feet. thats what he is building towards.

If its too hard, quit, simples, no one is going to make it easier for you, people are not suddenly going to decide "oh, those wood cutters are having a hard time, lets pay them more", or "lets have a fund raiser...".

try not to focus on losing one small job, or you will end up shooting yourself. I recently priced a job at 800, client phoned back to say that someone else was going to do it for 550 and would i beat that price, i told him no way let the other guy break his back for that, i forget all about it and 2 months later the client comes back on the phone, the guys started the job then pissed of, can i sort it out - yes no problem for 840 - ok, when can you start.

My simpathies mate, know your plight to well. As Mr Blair said - adapt and survive. I would recomend, assuming you can cover the bills, pissing off with a tent for a few weeks , if your into that sort of thing. While ago i took out income protection insurance, basically covers a portion of your income if you cant work, whatever the reason, they dont care about previous ailments, enough to cover bills and survive

just realised my avatar is perfect for this thread

You dont need a chipper to start with, you will know when you do. Why do i keep reading all this stuff about being a saturated market? what pish. Dont listen to them, if your good you will get work, some times more than you can handle. In the mean time just look to make enough to survive untill your name gets out there.

he'll need some mussles to shift all that wood mind.

If you do decide to hire in, try Akro multihire in livingston, their tracked machine is the mutts, but it will cost you about the same as the guys here are quoting.
