    What is googlebox?

    Surely best to buy a used Tirfor? I recently picked up a used Tirfor TU16 for £135 inc a 30m cable... although must admit I've not had a chance to use it properly yet. cheers, steve

    Vox ac 30 c2 ,.

    SteveA replied to Stubby's topic in The Lounge

    Not sure what it'd be worth now? It cost over £2k about ten years ago. Probably not as much as my first AC30 that got stolen out my van. that was one of a matched pair, ex Brian May.... absolutely amazing sound, even better sounding than the one I've got now. I originally paid £300 for that! jeeeesh!!!!

    Blue speakers, yeah definitely. I tried out a re-issue ac30 not long after they were launched.... absolute crud in comparison with the original ones. Cheers, steve

    Not sure what a C2 is? Got an original top boost AC30.. 1967 ish I think. cheers, steve

    Have you considered printing the ultimate arb relaxation DVD?.... to the sound of autumn leaves rustling in the wind as big lumps of tree creak their way past their friends. booohooo. Poor trees.

    woops, I clicked polo neck but meant to click crew. I find polo necks feel too restrictive. Less likely to get a sweaty neck with a crew neck, better ventilation. cheers, steve

    I finished my apprenticeship at a garage that did the same.... and we'd do tyre pressures, oil & water check, bulb changes and wiper blade fitting at 10% of the price of Halfords.... but also did some jobs for free if it was a regular customer. For a small garage we were incredibly busy, often booked up weeks ahead. cheers, steve

    Not got one of those but I'd say the material looks similar to 'Flexothane' jackets.... albeit maybe a thicker version. My flexothane jacket was surprisingly stretchy and pretty tough/ resistant to tearing. Slightly breathable, apparently?.... although not breathable enough during hard work. Also got a pair of flexothane waterproof trousers and I found sweat build up in those was far worse than the jacket. Overall, I'd say that fishing version would be very tough and unlikely to rip, even with doing hedging work.... but you'd probably sweat gallons. cheers, steve

    We'd take a mountain of chip here in Pembrokeshire.... so long as it doesn't contain any pressure treated stuff. Find your nearest horticulture business/person that has a number of raised beds for veg or flower growing and you'll probably discover that they would also put a mountain of woodchip to use. cheers, Steve

    Check out 'end grain flooring' on Google. Kind of like parquet flooring but doesn't have to look fiddly/cheesey. I imagine it would be very hard wearing.

    I'm sure there's a strap on line in that somewhere! .... Mr Got Wood; we keep them coming!
  16. SteveA
    Oh gawd - why does flooring seem so complicated and a faff? Maybe we'll go with a thin cement screed and do cordwood circles. Or just flatten some mud. cheers, Steve

    Haha! Maybe Steve is regretting posting this thread!

    In a similar situation here. But you have access to a woodmizer whereas we don't. I've been thinking of dragging out some long oak sections and hiring in a mobile saw operator for a day to make loadsa oak boards and beams. Apparently "oak can be a bit naughty when drying out".... so I've been told. The chaps that helped with our barn said they do basic overlap on their floor boards. They take it on a trailer to Jewsons to machine the boards. Then fit them loosely until they dry out more before nailing down. cheers, Steve

    Great Would you say those are the best books to get? cheers, Steve

    Not sure on a professional business name... but I have thought up a song adaptation for your local radio station advert: "My Kinderling, my Kinderling, I want you to play with my Kinderling." And on that bombshell.... your business should definitely be called "Mr Got Wood". cheers, Steve

    Ben Laws 'The Woodland Way' is very good. cheers, steve

    Hi Jez, I've been following Border Oak on their facebook page.... amazing high quality stuff. I'm very interested to see your drawings as I've never seen any high-end oak frame drawings before. I imagine you must be proper chuffed to have finished a self build in oak! Good man. cheers, steve
