  1. So a tad over 1k? Seems fair enough to me.
  2. So will you tell us how much you did charge?
  3. If it was for my kids' school I'd cap it at £750, if private I might double that. That's just guessing though as I don't know how long it took you, how much materials and consumables cost you etc.
  4. Chuck a set of carbon brushes in. Most likely it'll be fixed, if not: open it up and investigate if you are that way inclined as getting it repaired will not be cosy effective.
  5. The privacy policy and the terms of use are available for you to read on the website... They'll tell you that (in line with the law) the data gathered may not be shared with third parties without permission. Even if it did get stolen copied hacked or what not, the registration does not involve any details of where you are at all.
  6. What? Instead of adding valuable much-desired features like a "like" button you've been wasting your time with this? I'm truly baffled! Great looking website mr B, and hopefully it'll help some people recover their stuff, prevent people from unknowingly buying stolen kit and maybe even act as a bit of a deterrent. I've registered my saws (will have to update serial numbers later as don't know them by heart) Is/will there be a cooperative link with the police? Is/will there be some stickers available to let people know my kit is registered (would act as a deterrent perhaps?)?
  7. It is. It is also in the Citroen c5 and C6, the pug 407 and 607 the jag xf and xj as well as some Australian ford falcon derivative.
  8. I simply don't lend out anything I can't afford to loose. When in exceptional circumstances someone has borrowed a saw or other valuable tool it is with the understanding that if anything is different in any way from how it went out the whole machine gets replaced with a new one. No exceptions.
  9. Yew?.
  10. That'll make exactly no difference at all. The immobilizer responder is solid-state and passive. The fob is just for the remote central locking and not related.
  11. Looks good for billets, but it seems like It wouldn't cut to the bottom of those bundles?
  12. Was on the phone app when I got it and couldn't see an easy way to report it so left it till I'd be on the 'puter. Opened up the laptop, had a look and presto! Banned already! Thanks Mods
  13. Went to tax my new jeep earlier.... Could not tax it for 6 Months, as they'd run out of 6 month discs! Told me I could go to one particular post office 20 miles away as there they have the last ones in the county...
  14. No pic...?
  15. Some good information there chaps, thanks very much. Last time I worked a grant hedge it was £5/m and £2.40 for stakes and binders. It was possible to do and earn a wage but I really had to work "down to cost" as opposed to the preferred "up to spec". It would seem rates are a bit more reasonable now. The farm in question is in HLS at the moment and there just figuring out whether the laying needs doing over two or three seasons. About a mile of hedge in with some more recent plantings for the future as well.
  16. Can anyone tell me what farmer Giles can currently expect to be paid for having his hedges laid, and which rates for what schemes?
  17. I use this system, can't fault it and works well with a truckman top. Also gets some respect in the rougher area's of town. http://
  18. I believe hardwood cuttings, taken in late summer do best for most conifers. Very slow to take root, but quite a good uptake percentage on most species compared to broadleaves.
  19. So, why not stick the chipper on the truck and chip into a trailer? Bolt a turntable chipper on the back of a Landover, should be plenty of load cap left on the vehicle for tools etc. Stick a tipping trailer behind it and you've got 2.5t load cap. If your worried about access add a front mounted towbar. Sorted.
  20. That looks great, the hooks are fab and their slightly irregular shapes really enhance the rustic look without looking messy. What I'd have done differently, is to just pass a plane over then quickly to take off the milling marks as surface roughness like that makes it much harder to keep clean. Each to their own though, great pieces.
  21. Probably will but depends a little on vehicle use (in the process of deciding to change the number of cars/trucks in our household) as my wife needs to be in Leicester that weekend. I won't compete, not really my thing (not scared of losing but I'm very much a FFF kind of guy -Form Follows Function- and the championships tend to be the opposite...)
  22. Sorry to derail but: KKK2, does your company uniform look a lot like a big white sheet, perhaps with a full face mask and a very pointy helmet?
  23. Unless I have my mill setup wrong surely that is the cutting side, not the return? Which would make it even more of a mystery. Did the saw get used with the chain wedged just beside the sprocket perhaps (on a saw with an outboard clutch)? That could cause it to run out of the bar groove, but would have to go in combination with a slack chain I reckon? Had the saw been on the mill for a while previously or was the damage done the day you found it (looks a little aged to me?) if so can you recall a log that seemed to take much too long to cut even though there were no nails in it...?
  24. Ripeur 2 are full leather, I think the 1's are quite a different design, much less protection.
  25. I use two or three pairs/season I suppose. Though I use more than one pair at a time in a rotation of slow drying. Nothing worse than putting on cold wet gloves after tea in the snow!
