Chainsaw use is very little of what I do, I'm not qualified for that argument, but doesn't that belong in another thread When I've run that nailer for a year. I'll post a review, and let you all know my honest experience, but at 250, will pay for it self in one job. James Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Looks nice, how straight/flat is it? Hard to tell in pics.

I think thats your favourite comment!

I was disagreeing with the price not being silly, only £5 cheaper than a brand new one, also with 2 batteries. Seems silly to me. The question of copy tools or top brand is another matter, copies dont have to be any worse, although they maybe alot worse. This paticular gun i recommended has proven to be fault free for the two years my friend has owned it. Maybe it wont last as long as a paslode maybe it will. Look at the nails and gas the same company sells, the same grade nails as paslode, same grade steel, hot dipped in same substance, but at a much lower price. Maybe you believe that paslode nails are better, but i dont. Please dont get me wrong, I own a large amount of good quality tools mostly dewalt and makita, but im also open to the fact that small outfits can also make quality tools and if proven in the workplace im willing to give them a go. Companies like paslode as a market leader with little mainstream competition are free to charge what they like, and i think at a list price of about £600 its overpriced. Its not as complicated as a chainsaw and i think as i said, when i get one next month ill get the proven copy rather than a possibly mistreated secondhand unit from ebay. Oh and no i dont buy stihl copy saws, i buy husqy. James

Wheres the pics then,dont log it up, youve already gone to the trouble of milling it!

Its right near you isnt it clive, maybe your brave enough to put your miser through it?

Ive got a small piece of walnut root in me workshop, its lovely, but the question is, whos gunna be brave enough to put there saw in it?

Thats why you need a swingmill. sacrilege ringing up a beautiful walnut, one of the finest woods in my opinion.

I disagree Kev , 2mins research and ivefound two new with warranty for 475 and 480. I assumed the op meant hed found a new one in shop,but maybe it was secondhand? Paslode are too expensive and id seriously consider the quikload in the link above. I wouldnt be surprised if they came from same factory!

Thats not a great price but is ok, can always get them for about that. Im buying a nailer for the next job im starting. Stable conversion with loads of framing. Im buying one of these QUIKLOAD QL90 GAS STRIP NAILER £250 SIMILAR TO PASLODE NAILER | eBay Guy i used to workwith had one, and there identical to paslode but half price. Did a massive floor with this and a paslode on site and it performed as well, feels as solid, he rates it, hes had for couple of years and still going strong. Gets my vote.. Interesting to hear if anybody else has experience of them? Im350 is ideal for feather edge too James

Where is it? got any pics, may be intersted if location and money are right. James

Hi, Wondering if anyone knows anyone in bristol area who can make a kitchen for me sister, Shes got the english oak to make it, m/c 10-18%, Want someone local to her(shes in chew stoke) who will make cabinets and fit cabinets only, quite a sizeable kitchen. Small business ideally not a bigboy. Recomendations greatly recieved. Thx James

You need space you dont need,else you havent got enough space, so your ambitions can grow but not get lost in the mess. If i was building a workshop now i would probably look at 9x9m well insulated with a wood stove in the back. Security is paramount. James

Dont put net up blades, put an owl box in there, its not a proper barn without an owl!

If all shiplap is fitted properly and nice and tight, then i would guess that when you coated the outside you trapped some moisture in there, if this is the case it has no where to go except inside, should remedy itself by the end of summer. Its hard to give another hypothesis without seeing the bulding or at least external photos of the problem elevation. Looks to me like a nicely built barn. James

top work Rob, are the beds sectional, or do you just finish construction in the rooms?

Nice work, what you going to do with the crotch you leveled off?

Thats the kinda attitude that would render half the country and possibly you powerless and phoneless, as i said these services run along channels of ground known as easements, power companys are entitled to use them, you cant fight it, but they will pay you peppercorn rent if you have pole on your land. I believe but not certain that if power companies find it absolutely necessary to create new easements, they may, and take you to court if necessary, if you refuse their right.

Firewood seller iknow does just this, rings everything 2 years before he fells, reckons its a much better system.

Dont bt own all the overhead cables, i thought everybody else rents them off them?

Found this: A particular crane might weigh 3 T, plus a counterweight of 5 T, for a total of 8 T, all of which is located behind the front of the crawlers. Let's say the machine is 5 m long. The center of mass of the thing would be located about 4 m behind the front of the crawlers. Let's say that we're trying to lift 16 T, which is twice the weight of the machine. Provided that the load mass was less than 2 m in front of the machine, then there'd be no problem. As long as: (total mass of crane) x (distance of crane's center-of-mass from front of crawlers) is less than (total mass of load) x (distance of load's center-of-mass from front of crawlers) you're OK. The above calcs ignore the weight of the jib, but that can be allowed for as part or the load mass and subtracted from the crane mass. Reply With Quote

Agree with rupe, but still think that if bt knows it was you they can invoice you for repair, probably worth the risk though. Aint you got any gaffa tape?

Well spotted, says in blurb that the tow path gave way. Is it going to end up like the we never learn thread?

Of course its possible, depends where the wight is posistioned, not at the end of the jib of course, plenty of outriggers to counter theweight. However mostcranes are rated to carry significantly less than they weigh. I personnally think they made mistake. James

My dad sent me alink to this, told i thought it wasmostly american hype as i refuse to live in a society where i have to always be concerned about my kids safety, plus i make sure i use privacy settings. Then i got to thinking, threads on here like show us your arb tractors, new toy etc. open forum with no privacy. whats the betting most of those pictures were taken at a reasonably secluded yard, ive always relied onthe fact that no one knows im there. Guess its just another way for the toerags to find ya. Food for thought anyway James [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2vARzvWxwY]Smartphone pictures pose privacy risks - YouTube[/ame]
