  1. Looks to have the "seam", no bash marks/scuffs on it though.
  2. Awesome video!
  3. Humans = Where theres a will... theres a way!
  4. Welding isnt my forte... Will need get the tape measure out and size the buck up once the cab is done. It wouldn't be fundamental to work, more of a project / toy to be fair so would like to keep costs minimum. A shallow buck is all thats needed as will build rest from ply/composite.
  5. Awesome, the project is on. Need to source a steel tipper bed first as i think that may well be the most expensive part.
  6. Ah ha, makes sense. Assume nothing is welded? Just bolts and rivets?
  7. How easy would it be to do? I have a 3dr hardtop 110 and am toying with the idea of turning into a tipper. Forget the tipper element, just wondered on bulkhead part for the single cab. Any ideas as to how much it would cost me? EDIT - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/land-rover-defender-truck-cab-/191174762890?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c82e7618a Would that be all the bits needed?
  8. True legend. Read a few of his books, some good tales of his younger days! Enjoy your night, will be good.
  9. Yeah as said get a 6 inch machine. Can get a good TW150DBH for that money. Remember its not the size of the wood it will take, its the amount of brash you can ram in! think crappy lumps of ivy, thorn hedges etc etc... Think that shesh is petrol also so may work out more expensive to run.
  10. Not heard of the show but could make an appearance. What time are you guys working until today? If i get time ill give you a call.
  11. Yeah they do seem to have a good following at the moment. Got a couple of days using one next week so will get a good demo.
  12. Some prices would be good please Dean.
  13. Need a stump grinder, worked out if i had bought something like an HB20 a year ago it would have just about paid for itself. Currently i sub in others or simply give the work away... Capital - 2-2.5k either for a S/H machine or deposit on a new/ better S/H machine. Mainly domestic ( 95% ) so narrow access needed. Trying out an HB20 next week so will see how i get on with that. what other machines would be worth looking at? If getting finance i would like to limit it to about 4k, so gives me a max of 6.5k with the deposit. Really not bothered if its S/H or new, can do pretty much any maintenance myself.
  14. Since i posted this Ive also got the bug for trying it myself, My bench grinder has a 6" wheel which from my rough measurements didnt give the correct curve to the edge, I would think 8-9" would do the trick. from the jist of the above replies, most seem to not bother with the curve and sharpen the surface flat? I have a good quality stone so can finish by hand. Still interested in any pics people may have of there jigs usings a simple bench grinder
  15. Done mine with moonfruit.com, took about 3 hours to do and links in with all our social media ( Facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube etc) Fairly easy step by step guides and templates. Bought several domains and pointed them all to it. Really no need to pay anyone to do it for you, same with SEO etc..
  16. Yes more often than i like, send him my number/email address.
  17. Leon, give us a call if you need any extra help on the job mate.
  18. Done. Rude not to
  19. Gauging interest at the moment. We have a few odd days most weeks which we need another person for. Would possibly suit someone currently at college locally or someone qualified with tickets already. Looking at getting the same person regularly in the hope to take on work on a more permanent basis. Friendly team. Pay depending on experience/tickets etc. If interested please contact: [email protected] HOME - MD Tree Services
  20. Ill give you £30 for it.... instant tenner profit!
  21. 1994 - 68k from new
  22. That could of been a lot worse, sounds like it went over into the queue for the bouncy castle....
  23. Yep, thats the one!
  24. Amem to to that! But im a mere youngster at 29, this vid was found after a mornings Technic building with the boy and him asking what the "best model" was... I still want the Unimog and the Millennium Falcon kits... for his benefit of course
