cheers man, much appreciated.

meant to read ' or glassers', sorry. Don't need any more wine glasses thanks...

Any one know a decent shapers of glasser who'd be able to help me get a surf board back on form. I'm in north Hampshire (yeah i know it's miles from the sea...) It's had one too many dings and needs more TLC than I can give. Any suggestions welcomed!

Thanks all, been away hence delayed response. It has new blades and anvil. The rollers occasionally stop when larger bits go through, but the main issue seems to be them not 'gripping' the wood. I have heard mention of a pressure adjustment for the hydraulics but I know little to nothing about hydraulics, this may fix the stopping issue.

Hello all, I appreciate that this has come up many times but having searched a bit I've not got a definitive answer. The problem: chipper infeed rollers (TP150) not gripping well enough to pull in cord with laterals on. i. Is welding beads and grinding to a new edge going to be a solution that works to breathe new life into my infeed rollers?? ii. Shouild I just buy some new rollers?? Thanks.

concrete and screws has gotto be favourite IMO.

People wanting stuff on the cheap and keeping the peace.... ??

If you are happy with your quoting formula, whatever that might be, stick to it. Do this regardless and if someone wants a 'cheap', 'while your here', 'as you've got your saw out' job, remember your worth! Yeah, go the extra mile when you want, maybe for the 'little old lady' or the ones that made you the bacon sarnie, but don't get sucked in on some crazy convenience tip. Give you're price and tell them to get some more quotes. They'll soon realise what a reasonable price is!! Now I'm ranting too!! -
Looks like it's probably paid for itself by now. If you're questioning it's condition as PPE, retire it to the rigging kit and buy a new one!

Too right Gibbon, Aerial rescuer on site is good (and proper), but a good groundy is invaluable.
-
I've got a similar issue. Stripped it, serviced it, cleaned it and then done it all again. To no avail. One more go later maybe.
-
nice site Kim, and excellent works too!
-
Clarify whats expected of you and what you expect in return before you start. Tom10's got good words there too. Be honest with your capabilities and turn up on time. Good luck.

Adam's Trees Still a 'work in progress' but close enough.

Got dragged shopping one time and discovered £1.50 t's in Primani.... they'll do.
-
'Google' the contact number....
-
It's genuine.
-
Yeah man, a nice sympathetic reduction and light thin, rebracing if necessary. That should do a load to reducing the loadind and wind stress.
-
Try a chandlery shop, sailing stuff and the like. dunno what they call them but i know they do different diameter beads. happy shopping.

Is go with veggie oil although I know little about milling. No different to big logging sessions I guess. I've used food grade veggie oil for 14 years in all saws (020-084) and they're all still going fine.

I'm TM'd up and I love it but I still use my others. Love and respect my old Willans and still use it in big hedges. Butterfly spends most of its hanging up and the surprise was a TimberII which is ace as a light weight set up with comfort and simplicity together.

Have you ever had a chimmney fire
Swampster replied to predator's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
A liner with no vermiculite mitigates the problem. No liner and you'll need it swept at least once a year. If you get a chimney fire, unload the grate (carefully into a metal container and remove this to out side), then put cupfuls of water at a time onto the grate. Keeps enough heat to convert it to steam. Shut the vents to prevent/limit air-flow. -
Gotto be silky! (are they paying us?) Zubat's good all round, gomtaro for fiddly bits and a sugoi for bigger stuff. The sugoi's length and hooked tip are good but the aggressive teeth make it less good on smaller stuff (<50mm ish).
-
Awkward situation man, especially as they are such a big client. I reckon that an additional charge would have been reasonable, pointing out the original specs exact description of works. This is definatly an 'extra', and being driven by your clients client too. Maybe leave a pack of sandwiches for the kids, then they'll be less inclined to eat root and dirt.

All good, hadn't even considered the sips. will take a look now. thanks
-
I'm sure this comes up repeatedly so sorry. My trousers are pretty much done and it's time for a new pair. I have worn Stihl HiFlex for a while now and they've been great, hard wearing, comfy etc. Maybe a bit heavy but it's what I'm used to. I climb alot but do my fair share of time on the ground. What would you suggest?? Thanks
