What do you expect to earn an hour doing a job like this these days?

30p a tree?

Back to the same green mantle debate.
-
I think that is fair. 120 green 200 seasoned
-
It is around 3/4 cube depending on thickness. but it is also only 1.4m long. Not big enough for most projects that you would want 1m width. Id value it at £200 seasoned max. Nobody wants syc and it's not a practical shape.

Seems alot for a short slab but if you can get it....
-
Seems to have worked. Looks good
-
If you are building it in as a beam/lintel then I wouldn't be as worried. Just a bit of filling to do once it has shrunk. Mantles are usually fixed to brickwork or plaster and can cause alot of damage to plastering as they dry and twist. And can seriously crack at the end. Seems like you got lucky with yours. If you can sell it green at that money why not, as long as the customer knows what they are buying. I always dream about having a big pile of seasoned oak to sell at high prices but I can't keep hold of it long enough How did you fix the mantle above the esse, looks built in? Would be interested to see a picture of it now. How longs it been in?

The woodchuck tools on the chainsaw bars website are great.
-
Who's buying green of the mill mantles?
-
Bit too far to come here and make your own. Could knock you one up but postage may be expensive as it will be heavy
-
Be interested to see pictures -
Pretty easy to make from scrap if you can weld. Where are you based?
-
Always worth doing a tea spoon of fuel into cylinder to. If it doesn't fire on that then I assume either no spark or no compression.
-
My first thing everytime would g be to change the plug for a new one, just because it's sparking out of the cylinder doesnt mean its sparking in the cylinder
-
22t rock road tow here too. Great machine and well priced.
-
Nice. How far did you have to go to collect /swap that.?
-
It's not oak. Possibly elm. Timber looks like field maple to me though
-
Looking properly at the listing it is a catergory s too so that wants checking out properly

It's a sign of the times. The last van I bought was a similar looking transit but a year younger at the time. Very tidy. Highway maintenance van so hydroststic eberspacher etc included. 30k miles £7500 no vat. That's older and double. That's why I ended up with the older high mileage mentioned above. Would rather take the odd day off work to fix it or even fit a recon engine than pay out that much for a camper base

Needs to take 4 of us to europe this August before my daughter goes off to uni. Then I might get something smaller again. I do like the space inside though so we will see. It's massive and beautifully sauare inside! Going to spray the whole thing in raptor paint I think so it looks a little less removals.
-
See aboveCost me £300 Ish and about 10 hours to fix it
-
2010 200k very clean. £2800 delivered
-
This is the reason I bought a old master low loader box van with a knackered turbo and fixed it. Was looking for ages for a van to convert and that was the first one I could justify the price of Slight risk but it paid off

I think arbtalk may have cracked it. American cherry seems a good shout Have ordered a sample to check. Cheers guys
