Thanks Ian, ive looked at those before, cant decide whether its worth the extra few quid to go for one of these though? Sign Pro (1262) - Buy online from Rutlands.co.uk Anybody experience of these?

Do you use templates , go freehand or make your own templates? Been looking into a sign makers set up myself, as I'm rubbish freehand and the few I've made, its taken time to make templates. Interested in any recommendations. Thx Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Definately agree on the gas, I won't be using mine all the time although I do have a massive framing job coming up starting Wednesday. Will be firing most days for 2 months. Stocked up on 90s, 51s and 63s and so ended up with 8 gas, all expires 12/13. But then quickload gas is only 4 each, so will have to waste a lot of it before I've recovered the £300 extra for the dewalt. I paticularly like the lack of gas on an environmental level though. Quickload also say there gas operates to -5 and daytime temp here in rarely less than that. Time will tell though. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

The fence is a favour for me parents, not getting paid, so deemed it a good opportunity to try cheap nails, as ill be able to monitor any staining. Gone for quickload galvanised ringed 51 and 90. I'll let you know how they fire and will update staining in a month or two. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Thanks Ed, ill give you a shout when i get set up with the oak,its at my place. Elm is my brother in laws in bristol so ill be doing that with him in anticipation of some free boards.

Yes I'm happy with it, only played with it on some lime so far, had a couple of proplems with one of the powerheads, but nothing serious, recoil spring snapped, managed to bend a new hook on it and seems ok now, clutch exploded badly cracking cover, not sure as to why, new clutch assembly and cover needed. Also needs a hexicoil fitting on opposite side cover. I guess its expected with old machines, do you think clutch could have been user error, I.e. different engine speeds from each power head, or just one of those things? The beauty of a spare head came into play. Got a large oak and elm to do so keen for any advice on cause of problem. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Thanks Alec, thats exactly what i thought, but better to check before shelling out. No worries on the cover, still got two running, just want to getthe spare totally sorted before i go to do a large elm. Thanks James

Hi, Im guessing theres not much difference between these saws, so if i was to buy a 051 non runner as a donor saw for the 051av's that i use for milling, would it be compatible. Thanks in advance James

Stupid question, is wood used green or seasoned? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Dewalt xrp 18v is what I have used for years, work them hard and don't have any conplaints, accept that makita May now have the edge but I have 9 cordless tools running same batteries so hard for me to get away from them. Plus points for dewalt is there old tools are compatible with there new batteries, but this is not the case for makita. I like dewalt but as with most brands They do do cheaper versions of there tools, and they should be avoided. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

My advice for a poly tunnel is to start water cress off in a old bathtub or similar over summer. At the end of the summer transplant to the tunnel and you will have yummy water cress all winter. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
I add 10% on materials and 10% on final figure(this includes labour, materials, plant hire and use of plant owned). I never break down costs, just supply a full spec and total price. I tell fussy customers that i always use same suppliers and if they want to trawl the internet for every item they probably could get some stuff cheaper but on there head be it. The only time i ever work differently is when working for friends when they pay directly for materials and i work for day rate.

Nice work clive. Must be nice to get to put the boxes up and complete the job!
