You will always require a permit from the council. As said before they will require site plans, the works being carried out and the expected times of which the TM will remain in place. You will also find with some councils that because of the nature of the work they will require a detailed risk assessment. As spruce pirate says the permits could take up to 30 days to go through

would definately go with the silky, I wouldnt be without mine

The table looks great Rob. I better not show the missus these pics or I will end up with a whole load more things added to the list of things she wants done.

Super work Rob, looks great

Well i think the ash will be saved for something else. Over the years i have seen so much good wood been left to rot or used as firewood and with the advice of you guys it will save me putting time and effort into something for that to be wasted. Think i will get another good through some of these threads and get a better understanding of the types of woods and there uses. Thank you for your comments

After a year of reading a threads in this forum and being inspired by the work of many people I have decided its time i got a mill and started milling and making my own stuff. Im quite keen on making a mix of furniture for indoors and out so i would like to know the best timbers to use where. I have several nice ash butts and several people asking for picnic benches so would the ash be good for this?

Nice job and great photos

I work for the council and get this on a daily basis. It is just typical public! we were once taking a tree down when this guy came out and gave us abuse because the tree we were taking down had his bird feeders in it and we should leave the tree for that purpose. Most commonly though we have the public out saying why are you taking that tree down instead of that one that blocks the light to my garden. It usually goes when we moved here that tree was only 6foot tall but now look at it. I dont think these people realise trees grow but i also beleive it more ignorance and arrogance than anything. I do think somtimes that dealing with the public is harder than the job itself sometimes.

Once again another great piece of woodwork and craftmanship. Looking forward to seeing ur next piece

very very nice!

very nice!

I agree I wouldnt rely on security firms and there is a risk but life is full of them even though this may just be a little riskier than normal. I would also agree with minotaur about doing your homework and getting as much info as possible but anyone looking for a great experience then go for it!
