Customers asking to pay cash to avoid VAT.
muttley9050 replied to benedmonds's topic in Business Management
As a builder I would suggest that these are both incorrect. Builders have staff and pensions. Same deal as an average tree surgeon outfit. Although I'm sure it has happened. I really don't think many builders are asking customers to set up accounts with jewson. I have good relationships with my suppliers and I get good prices. Materials are then charged at +15 to 20%. A good earner. I wouldn't trust a customer to have the correct materials on site when I needed them unless i spent a long time schooling them. This is what the mark up is for. -

Looks great Rob. Bit of a faff in set up but great result. Wouldn't it have been quicker to just half it on the first cut or were you worried about a longer bar being less accurate

So narrow boats only run on red?Then how do you define a pleasure boat or narrow boat. If someone hires a narrow boat for a weekend jaunt surely that is purely pleasure.? Edit Ok. The post about 60/40 wasn't there when I posted. Must have been typing at the same time. So you pay duty on red. OK
-
I was always under the assumption that any fuel used for propulsion which was travel based i.e. Not moving a digger round a building site but moving the digger to the site, should be white diesel. If a narrow boat has only one tank it should be filled with white. If it had a seperate tank for heating then that could be red.

Would be lovely but slightly out of my budget with the vat. Also way too heavy to put on a mobile base

Just bought this scheppach for £760 and a 2 hour drive so very happy with that. Way less than I thought it would go for. Cheers for the help
-
So it would appear at least some of the scheppach and charnwood saws(smaller) are identical and made by the same manufacturer. But what about the bigger ones. I hate modern manufacturing. Can't come a single review on the charnwood w670 either.
-
This one in excellent condition sold a couple days ago for £1750
-
I was just reading a thread about the scheppach 4010 and on 2019 they were selling used for about £600.
-
Thanks for that.
-
There's a couple of 4010s on there. I think they will make around £1300 from what I've seen lately. One finishing tomorrow is only 2 hours drive so a possibility. They other 5 hours drive so too far. Seen a smaller scheppach saw and the are good. Wish I knew if the charnwood was much worse because a new one out the box is only £400 more and no day spent collecting.
-
Some people seem to love charnwood. Others seem to hate them
-
I'm not seeing a world of difference in the appearance of photos. Would be nice to see these things. The saw you mention is only 70 odd mm cut, I need 100 plus.

Watched a couple of the axminster sell on ebay for crazy money and id have to collect. Can buy a new one interest free over two years, delivered in 48 hours. I have plenty of space for the said saw. Just can't leave it in the middle of workshop when not in use. I have a big 3 phase spindle moulder which I can't move but everything else except the lathe is on a trolley and stored against the wall. Never used a charnwood and wondered what people's opinions of them are. I would consider myself a light trade user so get hammered for a couple of days then not used for a month. I'm expecting crap plastic handles that will break but happy to make necessary up grades my self.

Hi all. Any opinions on this table saw? I'm in need of a new one and the second hand market is crazy. There is also very little availability in the new market right now. Alot is stuff on back order. Up for suggestions of something better in a similar price point and capacity. As much as I would love a big old cast machine unfortunately it will have to be on trolley base as space is limited. Onions welcomed. Cheers Charnwood W670 12" Sliding Table Panel Saw from Westcountry Machinery 4 Wood WWW.MACHINERY4WOOD.CO.UK Charnwood W670 12

They are a well made solid piece of kit but a little heavy. I bought it years ago with 3 051s. was my first mill. Enjoyed using it and learning. These days if a tree needs a mill that long it gets the lucas slabber on it so it's redundant. Not been used in 10 years I reckon. Keeping my 2ft alaskan though. Could be a nice cheap way for someone with the rest of the kit to mill a bigish tree. I can't find any sort of date on mill or instruction manual.

Bar overall is 145cm. 404

404 cuts 950mm. Not sure of the overall length. Will measure tomorrow.

Decided to sell one of my saw Mills. Stihl lsg 950 and remembered I had the original instruction manual so dug it out and had a read. Thought I would post the instructions here for a laugh. Stihl lsg 950 Saw Mill Chainsaw alaskan WWW.EBAY.CO.UK

Is this one for sale?

My advice would be. Get your self a framing square to go with your speed square. Decent chisels. A slick if you can afford it. Use the framing square to set the size of the tenons/mortices for easy refrence.Don't assume the wood you are using is square or straight or the same size as the last piece.Choose the timber for each piece by looking at the grain. Cut your mortices a hair bigger than your tenons. Try to get the hole thing done as quickly as you can when you start. If it takes you a while test fit all your joints again before raising. Have fun Fwiw I use 3/4 pegs on 8"framing.

Should I stay or should I go?
muttley9050 replied to Ste2021's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
From a builders perspective. If the worst subsidence is shown in the pic and there has been no movement in 6 months then I would advise. Dig a soakaway in the garden to take the rainwater instead of it just dispersing into the ground. Cluck out the damaged muck and repoint. Sit under neath the shade of the tree and have a beer and admire your work. In my opinion the rainwater is far more likely to cause the minimal subsidence shown than the tree -
Very posh. I usually just mark the center and use a tape. Where did you get it?
