Hi Steve shame its in a foreign language was the one matey saying its crap -
Hi I was just looking at carpet trolleys on ebay about 150 quid and with a long handle added then may work especially if you could put tyres with air instead of solid as I find air filled tyres work better on rough ground good luck with getting something sorted ,I need to learn to weld better then I could make my own .

I would just let him keep the wood as most tree surgeons have an unspoken rule we dont work just for the wood ,as training ,equipment,insurance,ppe all cost rather a lot of money ,thats my take on it I was actually rang up early one morning by a bloke saying can you come now and clear this tree its blocking the road and next door needs to go to work so I start to ask questions and mention cost and he says well you can keep the wood so I politely inform him of my costs so I didnt rush out of the house saw in hand ,life is too short to go making stress you didnt have to do anything to deal with the tree and yes its a total shame it came down ,maybe get the farmer to plant another one near by

Hi guys I have a kitty multi machine that is in the way before I put it on ebay I thought it would be cool to offer it to my fellow arbtalkers so its a spindle moulder ,a table saw ,slot morticer and a planner thicknesser ,it does have some tooling with it all works as it should its just big and in the way to be honest I only use the planner thicknesser and with my 25 inch wadkin being installed I will just get a bench top 12 inch planner thicknesser so if anyone is interested I can send some photos ,it is belt driven and could do with some new ones I would take £350 for it anyone interested PM me Thanks Mark

Oh cool as they are exactly the same as the ones I have
