    More worth milling stuff if you are going to use it yourself. But any spare bits I have seems to get sold eventually, just sold some 40'' wide beech I milled 5 years ago to a cafe. You ever let anyone know you have sheds of boards?

    Would you be happy paying for any damage to subbies kit if damaged? That bonus idea sounds like a good incentive to work hard..... Unsure of how to deal with kit damage. my feeling is if you're making money from other people working for you and they damage stuff then you gotta soak it up....get people in you can trust with kit. Accidents happen. Winds me up when I see lads treating their bosses kit badly though...

    Re bridge on leg loops looking through gustarts website seems attached in same place as other harnesses?

    I have the singing rock timber.....it seems good. Nice and light, easy to lift legs up high etc. Occasional testicular issues and slips down from time to time ( I have never had a harness that doesn't though) I have gone to this from a dragon fly which is a comfier harness to watch your ground crew fanny about from but feels bulkier and harder to squeeze through tight spots etc..... I cannot compare to the other posher harnesses as I only see these on videos on the web http:// https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/47407-singing-rock-timber-harness/

    Not worked on this model but have a quick Google, lots of pics of complete brake mechs and a few brake rebuild vids for 391 so they should give you the info. Good luck

    From what you said You sound like a very fair employer. Having been self employed for over a decade I can see why no matter how good the job looks it's hard for a subby to take on a full time job. Ime you quickly get used to being your own boss and deciding your own holidays and what you want to do from day to day etc, basically it's a lifestyle choice. Whilst I would enjoying doing stints working for a firm and have no issue with authority ( whilst on site) long term I wouldn't be able to give up the freedoms being s.e gives.
