  3. Little update. Working on ripples cloaks is hard......and slow.
  4. Thanks pal
  5. Scary? Howd you mean? He Seems pretty chilled to me! Yard is permanent chaos!
  6. https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/guide-bar-care/
  7. Hens teeth. A pal got one from off Ebay that I got a look at. But other than that no idea. I'd probs just stick the pdf on a tablet if pos
  8. Bit harsh there spud! Kinda know where your coming from, but there's still plenty helpful folk on here! Haven't Google safety Chinese saws yet, but have had some decent saws with brake bands go/ slip even when on etc ect. I'm Into fixing stuff, even if it's cheap. Highly satisfying , learn something, less rubbish. Pleased you got it sorted OP.
  9. Alot of caber rings on eBay I think
  10. Started to make this. Thought I would.post pics as I went to show how it progresses. Quickly realized I wanted it standing up to carve so managed to hoist it up with a farmi jack and then chain block
  11. I emailed planning yesterday asking about tpo's. heard back after 2hrs with a map! Well done Northumberland cc!
  12. Thanks for sharing. Well done for persevering! Looks like a royal PITA. I take it you do find it useful?
  13. They all end up the same faded worn out colour in the end
  14. Yes big double above cab. Lots to do to the Inside. It's all boarded and Insulated so a good start. Hydraulic ramp on back too for the decking area
  15. I've just bought an 814 swb horsebox. Wants an mot and converting inside. 750,000km on the clock!
  16. Link doesn't work for me. What is it?
  17. Looks like that top has rolled a good way from the stem!
  18. Must have satisfying to cobble that together
  19. Your probably right. I don't do facebook at all or any other social media, I do remember when arbtalk was busier, but still enjoy it as is ( excluding some tedious members who have almost gone away now) . Don't really have anything to compare to. Hpoc.co.uk seems alot slower than it used to be also. Fb sounds balls, from what I hear on here, although slagging off peoples boots does sound pretty tempting.
  20. Can't remember exactly whereabouts you are? Stanhope? Over the hill in allendale the TO said to pretty much crack on with kretch trees even if in conservation area. Said you can give a 5 day warning to them. Take plenty pics so you can proove obvs
  21. Nudge
  22. Not really familiar with the to.ber your using, but certain woods split worse than others. Latch cedar and sequoia are very stable, oak can be bad especially if carved from the round. I guess your climate will dry it out pretty fast as well. After carving try and let it dry slow. Keep in shade, and in cool if possible. Oil can help slow the moisture drying out, but ultimately trapping moisture in to slow drying/reduce cracking, brings its own problems, black staining, mildews etc. Some folk use decking oil, which usually contains antifunguscides etc. Personally I don't like using they chemicals, and not overly keen on the colour of alot of them
  23. Holy smokes. Wonder when it will get here or be reviewed....
  24. Pigeon? My guess anyways
