Did you find a good way to reinforce yours? I have had the same problem but with a different cause. Just ordered a new table from Riko but would be good to get it strengthened from the off.

Ah so there is a system for using it for domestic use having put it 100% through the business. Thanks Steve

What I want to get around is not be able to claim any VAT back on a truck which will be used 90% for work. I am not VAT registered at the moment but as I understand it if I become VAT registered I can claim VAT back on purchases made over the last 5 years. Not getting 4k back on the truck might be the clincher for not becoming VAT registered.

I am not VAT registered yet but looking into it. I want to be able to use the truck for a small amount of domestic use but my book keeper thinks I can't claim any of the VAT back even though I only want to use the truck for domestic stuff for 10% of it's miles. Is there a way around this? He just said most folks claim all the VAT and don't declare any domestic use. Any thoughts?

Would have thought it's pretty hard to run a large logs business with delivery being such a major cost. We are in a small rural area so unless we get a good percentage of all logs sales we either stay small or charge a lot for distance deliveries. If you are in a densely populated area you may have the customers but probably have very high business rates and rent. Can see it works when you are delivery by pallet and can charge premium prices.

Hard to argue with that. Best Holiday of my life walking in Glencoe and then Sky. Hope I have got my geography right with these two pics on or around Bidean Nam Bean. Went along the ridge and came down the lost valley. The pictures don't do it justice

Surprised you are having problems with a Woodwarm. I have used a fair few stoves and the Woodwarms seem to be one of the best. If not staying in I suspect you have an air leak somewhere. Is the top seated properly? They just lift clean off resting on rope seal which may need changing. Also look at the door seal but these seem to last an age.
-
As above. If you have one with the grate your fine as they made as dual fuel. It's the Woodwarm Wildwood's that are wood only.

Love the irony of a thread where it's mentioned that warm weather is affecting log sales others are all keen for low oil prices. Burn oil Release Carbon Warm weather No log sales Global warming anyone?

Recently got my first commercial insurance. Didn't realise my 15 years no claims from non comercial would not be taken into account Ended up paying £390 for new Dmax through direct choice who are agents and the cover is from Sabre

I don't We need to think long and hard about future energy and low oil price will not make this happen. High oil prices will force us to other sources of energy and energy conservation.
-
Presumed low oil prices have been arranged to put pressure on Russia If this is the case can't see much change soon.

Do you think it would be easy to use sharpening a loose chain on a spare bar? Hard to sharpen processor blades in place so I do them loose on a spare bar.

Just got one of these [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Olight-H15S-Wave-Head-Torch/dp/B00F9KM5YA]Olight H15S Wave Head Torch - Black - One Size: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors[/ame] Realy nice amount of light for sorting a few bits and bobs out around the yard. You can get way more power with some models but found 250 lumens more than enough for most stuff. Got a 1000 lumens beasty but it's clumsy thing to wear and not used it much since buying the Olight.

Devon lanes are steep, narrow and slimey. 4x4 on road can be real handy around here.
-
When comes to pure hard graft the Landy wins hands down but it depends on your work. Started doing a fair few miles on road with lightish loads. Don't arrive feeling like I have just done a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson just getting to site. Can see out the windscreen as the de-mist works! Don't arrive with ringing in my ears. The doors actually keep the water out. Horses for courses I guess.

Looks like the nicest and simplest mechanical sharpening aid. Would have thought the edge would be better than a file due to the direction of cutting. New carbide cutters are $20 on the US site. Can't imagine postage on a few of those would set you back much.
-
Yes I suppose that is smart when offroad.
-
This sounds spot on for what I experience. No bother popping it into 4wd when slippy but would be really nice to have a road going low ratio for heavy towing on our Devon hills. Sadly low ratio is automatically 4wd.
-
Sounds like I should keep using as it as I have done. Keep in 2 as much as possible and only use the 4wd as an when needed. Had a chat with a mate with a Ranger today and tackled him on the subject. Complained of the same issue and came to the same conclusion on driving style. Quote from Stubby "Yep . I understood it and its quit impressive . No mention of the regeneration cycle of the DPF then " Care to share what is impressive? Read about the DPF issues and was nervous as I do a fair few short trips but no problems with it to date.
-
Found this Clearly not impartial but may explain to those that understand what he is on about. Lots of talk of "intelligent" and "amazing" but still not clear if it hard on the truck using 4 wheel high or low on road
-
Anyone shed any light on using a Dmax in 4 wheel drive high or low on road. Used it off road and the steering becomes heavy and tyres tare up the ground when cornering so I presume the diff is not that smart. Is using it in 4 wheel drive going to wear out the tyres fast and put extra loads on the transmission? Sorry I am not very clued up on these things and the dealer is next to useless for mechanical questions.

How far have you ran/cycled/swam today?

Congratulation Christopher An incredible effort. -
As Alex says the Oire-nomi are very good and I use some on a regular basis but did not suggest them. In your opening post you mention making furniture and benches this sounds to me like largish joints and Oire-nomi chisels have very short blade so not good for larger joints but great for smaller ones. Not all Oire-nomi chisels are equal. I bought a single one some years back (can't remember where from). It is a beautifully made tool that works very well. Picked up a set off APTC (I think) and they are made with far less care and needed a of lot fettling to get them working well and had to grind out almost all of the concave to get the backs flat. Don't think the steel is of the same quality either.
