    3phase

    So as you all know I have a 3 phase thicknesser and no 3 phase I now have some cash to buy a 3 phase generator or converter,so I would rather give a fellow arbtalker my cash than anybody from flea bay so do any of you have a 3 phase generator or converter you don’t need any more Thanks Mark
  9. Thanks everyone I will be ordering one in the morning now I know where to get one from
  10. Hi guys , I have been using the hook on my felling bar aa a cant hook but it’s not ideal ,so today I was looking round to buy a proper cant hook but struggling to find one it looks like Sthil have discontinued them so any ideas where I can buy one . Thanks Mark
  11. Hi it’s quite forgiving if it’s anything like the iso ,my first job was spray painter I did a 3 yr apprenticeship spraying Rolls Royce and other prestige cars and we mostly used iso 2pack that’s why my lungs are F###ed ,so if it goes on the same just crack on not too thick on the first coat it should look like dust and then the second coat a bit thicker so it looks wet but be careful not to get runs ,if in dought just build it up with as many thin ish coats as your paint will allow ,just out of interest what colour are you painting as black is the hardest it shows all the sanding marks a 360/400 wet and dry used wet to sand the primer degrease with thinners or panel wipe .good luck and do post a photo
  12. Hi mate if you are unsure with the spray cans just dust it on lightly and as many coats as the paint allows but if you are quite good with a spray can lay it on a bit thicker but be warned if it’s too thick it will run so it’s up to how good you are at spraying
  13. Hi Les ,yeah he’s ace but very stubborn,but he slept in his bed no mess on the floor this morning but aI think everything we own will end up covered in white dog hair my hoody already looks like a dog bed and I have only had it on half an hour,sorry for the derail
  14. Hi I have just been looking at Barclays and NatWest as we have accounts with both and they both had an option to open an account just to manage the loan through if you only have a personal account sorry can’t put up a link as I don’t know how to,give me a chainsaw or sander over a computer every time,we will be applying in the morning as it’s the first night with our new rescue dog who is a British Bulldog and all confused and knackered but will not quite settle
  15. So if you don’t mind me asking how much is that slab of Ash worth ,pricing of slabs is something I am struggling with especially now I have a mill it’s something I defo need to get my head around. Thanks Mark
  16. Nice Ash slab any plans to make something out of it
  17. So we delivered my mateys coffin the other day and I just had to ask how many other people have made a coffin for their mate and in 10yrs we are only the second people to do it ,well in the undertakers where my mate is .
  18. I have 2 tiny splinters from some WRC and I just can’t get the bloody things out will have to see if this hack works they are so bloody annoying
  19. Hi guys as bloody usual I F###ed up the photo I will try and sort the photos
  20. Hi a bit macabre but one of my best mates passed away so I made his coffin like the title sadist thing I have ever made but the last thing I could do for a close friend
  21. Hi yep easily done ,just glad I am not the only one who gets things wrong like that .
  22. When you try to apply for the grant they want your business rate number and if like me you don’t even qualify to pay them ,so I needed to get rate assessed but they would not do that so even though we have a small business,with a retail shop we don’t qualify for F##k all it’s typical big business gets their cash but the small guy gets F###ed over as usual ,we need a revolution
  23. Hi I will be moving the last board over so the lines do match up it was last thing and thinking about it I don’t know why I put it up like that .
