Can you PM me prices for cladding and details of the moulding please.
-
Thanks Alec. What do you use to neutralise afterwards?
-
Thanks for your help agg221, there's plenty of chandlers down here for me to try. Will it remove stains completely? Even the dark ones at the bottom?
-
There is postcrete in the hole. Where can I get oxalic acid from?
-
I put these oak bollards in the ground yesterday, untreated, and here's what happened... I know about iron reacting with oak, but why has this happened? Iron in the soil? Is there anything to be done to recover this? I'm thinking in terms of belt sanding the staining off and treating with an oil. All thoughts welcome :-)

Hi Lloyd, I'm based in Haverfordwest and have a huge stockpile of both softwood and hardwood, send me a PM with your details and I'll get in touch.

In the meantime, if anyone wants some garden furniture...(!)
-
Thanks everyone, some really kind words there. I don't doubt that you'll get more updates on my exploits as they happen!
-
Sorry to bump this thread again, thought I'd give you all a bit of an update a year(ish) on... I left uni, and straight away landed myself a job building a large poultry unit on a self employed basis. I am re-training as a carpenter/Joiner and loving every minute of it. Selling more logs and kindling etc than ever. And now I'm setting up a business producing flat-pack garden furniture. It's not what I imagined myself doing but I am at least still working with wood! Best decision I ever made to leave university.

Where abouts are you? I can supply and all at less than 20% mc

The jappa 100 is more than I want really. Can't find a dealer for the rebaud though... I agree about Riko their customer service is good. Wish it was a little cheaper that's all.
-
Hi all, I'm perhaps only a few days away from buying a pto Riko saw, mainly because of the TCT blade, reasonable price and the gauge for consistent length logs. Could I get some opinions and experiences, good, bad or indifferent? Thanks in advance.

posch tilting saw bench are they any good?
pembswoodrecycling replied to Ross Macneil's topic in Firewood forum
Anyone know what they cost now? -
I stack for free. Everyone around here charges the same for a similar product so I win the repeat customers. Some are quick, next to the drive, others around the back but it averages out. My margins aren't so tight that 10/15 mins per cube breaks the bank.

hiring out a hycrack log splitter
pembswoodrecycling replied to carpenter1's topic in Firewood forum
Around here you can hire a big tractor for £60 a day, £6 an hour. Hydraulic log splitter for £50, £5 an hour. A 70hp tractor on light duty should use a gallon an hour of diesel (5 litres at 70p) £3.50 an hour. All that add up to 14.50 an hour plus your time and insurances. £25 an hour should cover it, that's what most agri-contractors are around here. Having said all that, it's best to charge whatever you can get away with! -
Don't try and sell something as a tonne if it doesn't weigh a tonne. A tonne bag is only a tonne bag if it's contents weigh a tonne.

It's coming tomorrow, that's me busy until the weekend!
-
Thanks guys, the stihl one is in eBay as well, I figured I couldn't go too far wrong with that brand. I might just order one this afternoon...
-
Simple question, until now I have always been quite thorough in the way I dry wood, months under cover etc. This year I need to up the throughput a bit. Want a moisture meter to see how soon I can send wood out - what should I buy? Do the £15 ones on the 'bay actually work?
-
When its dry I get £70 a cubic meter for it the same as all other hardwood I sell. although that is wet you've still put the same work into it. I think 70 quid is a very fair price for that, providing whoever you sell it to has provision to dry it sufficiently.
-
How much do you want for it timberbear? do you know anyone who would shift it to pembs?
-
I like the idea of a planter, cut it down both sides to make two big troughs and stick two ends on, job done. Probably worth a bit too.
