Does any one have any coopering experience. i want to make a large 10 ft diameter vat to use as a cabin to get warm in when im out at my chain saw carving site. i have access to a woodmizer to mill the timber. i think i know what im doing but are there any secrets i should know.

i keep comming back and looking at this. i think its the way you have done the legs/feet and the fact it isn't mounted on a plinth, love it.

this is how i used to load big carvings into the back of my pickup. my mate made me a wooden A frame that sat on the ground either side of my landy and i would swing carvings up and over into the truck it was perfect. however a friendly farmer with a forklift now works even better.

i have started drawing my working drawings on to tracing paper. then i draw my grid over the top of it. this means that i can draw my image onto one side of the log then turn the log round to the other side and flip my paper over and im good go and draw my image on the other side. you just have to make sure you have got all your grids (see earlyer post on marking up logs ) lined up.

I dont know about sizes but have a look at Kumho KL71 Roadventures. the best tyeres iv ever had. iv got them in 265 75 16 they are designed as an expedition tyre so have ace mud ability but run well on the road without making to much noise. and they are fairly cheep. i got 53k miles out of my last set and iv done about 35k on the set i have at the mo. and i go off road alot. -

thats scrumpy hes a boarder lakeland. i dont use him for foxes as i dont agree with it but he is a bloody good gun dog. only problem is when he brings things back he stopps about 3m away and tears them to bits. he goes every where with me i mainly use him for working back and forth along my long net when ferreting or catching bunnies i only clip with the shotgun and he is good at finding shot deer when we are out stalking. he came from a traveller site just outside york so hes a hard little B$%*!@d.

i had a wildife managemet company for 5 years and hate all of the aluminum Phosphide gas pellets they are an evil way to kill it takes hours for the rabbits to die. I work my ferrets all year round and very rairly have troble with them staying down the burrow eating babies. if you feed them mainly on rabbit and feed them the night before you go out the tend not stop and feed they just kill and move on. i also had a Rodenator Pro to use after the ferrets.

what do you guys keep all your stuff in. im fed up carting my saws, fule can, oil can, tool box (containing my saw maintainance kit spray marker and other bits and bobs) and a big box i carry all my PPE in. i want something with wheels to carry every thing other than my saws in. my ideal would be the DeWalt tough system tool box trolly but its £250. so any body got any ideas
