"Would you like a tea or coffee before you start?" Well there's a silly question. Milk 1 sugar thank you.

Just had the application sent to me I'd be coming to Harlow you'd make me look like Joey Essex hahaha! Your right it's all about the discipline and getting into a good routine it makes it easier and more enjoyable.

It's a pointless thread I've offered you the most sensible solution if you know how long it is going to take you charge appropriately simples! Here's a little bit more charitable advice. The chap should also have an aerial rescued trained groundy if he is going to climb he also needs public liability insurance and as he will need a groundy with these qualifications he will also need employers liability insurance. Not saying by any means he hasn't got all these in place just adding a few more penny's worth of advice. How much do you think I should charge for that?

I would have liked to do it with tree life but if also like the 15 classroom days problem with it is there's nothing close enough.

I ask the customer to clear it up unless it's 1 or 2 here or there and then I'll shovel it up and put it next to there nicest flowers. I wouldn't expect anyone to have to work in it.

Hi Jon yes we just have a 6inch high electric fence running the perimeter our fence is around 10ft but this maybe unnecessary only as we don't bother wing clipping. -
That's exactly what I'd say if you don't know what to charge you don't know how to do the job! Very simple you look at Job you know how long it will take you, you charge accordingly. The customer decides wether he wants you or a professional end of! Sorry but these how much should I charge threads get right on my nips 😡

Hi just a quick question to gauge wether or not this could be viable really. I've been thinking about purchasing a grinder and contacting local companies to hopefully sub contract work from. I appreciate lots of company's grind their own stumps. The company I work for don't and sub contract their stumps out. So my question is in 2 parts really 1. How many of you may or do sub contract out your stumps? 2. Which machine would be a worth while investment for a company to consider using a contractor large or small machine? This is only in my thoughts at mo and thought it would be a good place to start by asking your professional opinions. Thanks

Agreed. It looks like it's fighting for light perhaps a reduction in height to suitable secondary growth points. That can then be managed on a regular basis at that size, this could be an option if you wished to retain it. The price would be more than likely the same or very close for felling to ground level. Just call out a recommended tree surgeon for a free no obligation quotation and advice most of us work on that basis. Always hard to help from a photo.

Someone showed me a pic of something a pro carver had carved the other day. I said to him hey you think that guys good check out this guy googled you Tommy and this bad boy popped up in the images. I was like now that's a carver. Let's just say the competition on who found the best carver ended there. Truly outstanding work just incredible vision how can you even picture that in there let lone bring it to life. Man crush growing you and Bob king my inspiration to simply have a go.

Hi everyone I felled a 120ft cedar last year and left the millable timber in 6m lengths. The tree was dead a year before I took it down. I'd like to build a timber lean to from it. Question is can I use it straight away after milling it? And How should I treat it? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hahaha

I'll have to retract the t**t actually as I misread the original post and now realise it was tree owner that got in someone else rather than Benedmonds client. Sorry I may not be wrong possibly as he doesn't seem to like supporting his local tradesmen. However who cares Professionalism would be to do as you've proposed not cut back to hard. If client is insistent and you want the work crack on.
-
I would personally advise to trim as hard as possible without hitting the brown. If they want to kill it let them do it themselves nothing professional needed. Plus you'll prob give him a quote again and he'll get someone else in he sounds like a t**t!
-
I personally remove everything back to old points. In my experience I've noticed any small stubs that have been left previously have died off.
-
Decent!!!!

I've found cherry does split quickly but don't burn it, I had someone ask me if I had some cherry lying around which I did I gave him just a few discs he made me an unexpected gift it was a really nice box it's now a keepsake box for our kids bits.
-
Very charming I like that a lot.
-
Nice one looks great!
-
They are cool Si seen your others on Facebook nice one I like the quick wood spirits too!
-
Great work!
-
Yeah it's nice and easy to carve but I don't think it will last long outside open to the elements.

Nothing was stated in my public liability and It would really depend on your setup area. I have a double gazebo net off one half to carve in and the other half I have items on display. Then where possible a rope rung off area at least 2m from the front and side of gazebo where I'm carving if that makes any sense. I like to have someone with me who knows about everything I do or can do and they can talk to the public and keep people a safe distance away while I'm carving. If possible do something nice and simple so you can carve it fairly quickly. Don't get hung up on putting in too much detail if people can see what you can do from a few various stock items then carving the basic form of something is enough to entertain the crowd.

Unknown Trees... Dry Stone Wall... Can I grow a Beech hedge?
Woodcrafter replied to slippy's topic in General chat
I'd personally repair the wall and instead of a beech hedge I'd plant some laurel, you can see that it grows in the soil conditions it's also evergreen and grows quickly and in time if regularly clipped form a nice tight hedge.
