  1. Good video. Love my dewalt.
  2. I had a hitachi. Was great but starting missing too many nails so I bought the dewalt gas less gun. Brilliant tool. Reliable solid easy to use . And the best thing is you dontt need gas so no wasted money , no weather issues and no unnecessary landfill.
  3. ive tried to buy a copy but amazon says they cant ship it to me. Any ideas steves. nice book by the way, well done
  4. Copper nails holding the slates on will not get the rain running over them. They won't work the same as copper nails poked in ridge joint.
  5. Just bolt them to a bit of 8x2 or something.
  6. Does the acid really work? What sort of acid will you use? Thanks
  7. That meant to say wouldn't.
  8. I would say it's a scam. Just probably Chinese or something doing a bit of importing. Just go and have a look.
  9. I can think of a lot of secure things than him chopping wood!
  10. Two ways of looking at that. The older generation git free education. More generous state pensions etc. But just maybe they didn't contribute enough to sustain this so the younger generation pick up the pieces. So I have a friend who has nearly finished a 6 year stint in further education to become a junior Doctor. Nearly 100k in student debt and the government has cut junior doctors wages to 22ķ a year . Somewhere around £11 an hour. At the same time the mps agree a pay rise up to 79k if memory serves. Where is the balance or fairness in this system. People new what to expect and where they were heading then the goal posts move and taxes go up. People need to adjust there spending and this will take time. It's not there money they're not giving us. It's our money there taking more of . It's important to remember that we need workers doing menial jobs. We can't all be tradesmen. We don't however need workers doing menial jobs for next to no reward. We should look at equality and living wages. So people didn't need tax credits.
  11. I don't expect the state to pay for anything for me. I take what they offer for sure. But on the other hand I don't expect those at the top to put the working classes in a position where they need to work 3 jobs to make ends meet while they sit back counting coins.
  12. It's stresses me to listen to all of you guys who think people should simply work more. I work to live , not live to work. I'm fortunate that me and my partner can both work part time and live a good life. The rest of the time I spend time with the kids . Work in the veggie garden. Look after the animals we rear for meat. I choose to work for myself not for others , so when I'm not out earning I'm still bettering myself. What part of this life did people decide it was acceptable to work 60 hours a week . Never see their kids. Never spend any time doing what makes them happy because there chasing more money to spend on consumer junk and working harder to put more money in the peoples pockets who are making you poorer in the first place. If we were on an even keel nobody would need to work 60 hours. I did when I was young till I realised that the only thing I got for work was money. I prefer to earn a better quality of life, and I don't think you can work harder and then buy it. James
  13. I'd be interested to see some pics. Can they be milled at your yard?
  14. Lovely porch. Not so sure about the house!
  15. Top work . Lovely oak
  16. Would of been buy your too late. I decided to order one last night. With new handle and brake band it owes me £65 so not too bad. Just got to decide what do with it now.
  17. That can't be worth 25k can it?
  18. Yeah chain brake is pants for sure.
  19. Picked up an echo cs350t yesterday at an auction. Reasonably good nick. Runs lovely .needs a new brake band . Wondering what people thought of the saw and if it's worth keeping or selling. I don't climb so have no real use for it. What do you think it's worth when fully fixed up? Cheers
  20. You beat me by a second
  21. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=92743
  22. Lovely froes. Pm sent
  23. I could mill them all up for you in around 3 days with my lucas. Would cost you around 1k and you would have so much oak you wouldn't want it. Alec advice is sound. If you were closer id have a trailer load off you. Just try to sell them as saw logs as there very nice looking sticks and it's a shame to log it.
  24. Buyer protection with paypal. So they pay you then claim they never received the bike, open a case and more often than not paypal refunds them and debits you. You don't know who they are so they have your bike and money.
  25. How are these people exploited?
