    Good plan

    A drink for that log would be £20 and only because its just up the road.

    My friend runs ryobi tools and I run makita. In my experience the makita outlast and outwork the ryobi. I wouldn't touch it.

    I'll come collect it for a drink.

    Osmo poly x. Sand to as high a grit as you like. 240 is minimum. I usually go to about 400. Clean. Apply a thin coat of poly x. Leave to dry,. probably 24 hours depending on temp. Apply another thin coat. Leave to dry. Get a decent soft rag and buff it up. Easiest to apply with a brush if it's waney.

    Do you know where you can get cbn wheels in the custom shapes needed for chain Sharpening?

    I got the portek ultra mk4 for my Milling chains. Is way cheaper than some others And all metal construction. I'm happy with it, but not had it long.

    It depends on the stove. Your looks to me like it just wedges in there and hooks on.

    I wouldn't worry about it. It's only shielding. As long as it can fall down. You probably cleaned all the crap out that was keeping it steadier

    All elm

    I don't think that would last inside a stove very long.

    Nice boards. Beautiful bowl.

    I don't see how this adds up. You might be taking that much but I doubt you're making that much.

    But they start with a cheaper product. Timbers like Douglas dont need treating and as such last longer and are far more environmentally sound. This means they are worth a premium. If I'm pricing a gate etc for someone I will often give two quotes. One from treated and one from a naturally durable timber I've milled myself. I play on its environmental benefits and the fact its local and charge around 220% the value of treated timber. To sell decent durable local timber for cheaper than Cheap treated pine is ludicrous. Fyi pressure treating and tanalising are the same thing.

    12ft sleeper for £25 is too cheap Your list says 8ft pine is £30 so why would you sell 12ft Douglas for £20 or 25
  16. muttley9050
    They would be nearly 2ft3 each. That is way too cheap.
  17. muttley9050
    Probably worth £20-25 a m3. Doesnt mean you will be able to sell for that. Douglas for me is a construction timber so I would mill into posts, beams, studs and cladding.

    I think this is a bit of a sweeping statement. I've cut plenty of sweet chestnut into dimensional timber and if the grain is pretty straight, it's stacked well and weighted, I reckon about 90%has stayed acceptably straight.

    It's naive to think you will take a hit when it comes for driving with no insurance. That hit could easily turn into millions and a sentence for man slaughter.

    Make sure you pick them all. [emoji4]

    My raspberries are always cut back long before now to stop this happening and focus on next year's crop.
  22. muttley9050
    Better not. Just booked me test.

    Eventually got round to examining turbo. Didn't feel like there is much play in the impeller. Lots of oil in air intake though. Is really bad acsess though. Looks like I will be swearing alot.
  24. muttley9050
    There is no usual. Any of the above may apply.

    Still takes some skill to get mitre joints that good with those tools.
