Hi guys thought I would give you an update on the monkey puzzle, I am going to collect it early doors Tuesday, our new mateys at our yard are going to help he has a lanky and a 2 tonne trailer , so the plan is to cut it into 10ft ish butts and roll , winch them onto his trailer , the top end bits should be light enough to get in my van as it was standing dead , hopefully take it all in one go will post some pics , hope it don’t bloody rain . Cheers Mark

Hi me and a mate looked into becoming trainers yrs ago and unless something has changed , if you have a chainsaw ticked you are qualified to teach one on one so just find the required notes on what they need and go through it with them then call in an assessor, cross cutting and maintenance is easy , disassemble clean reassemble identify type of chain and file needed sharpen and then cut some logs up .easy

Hi , not sure what he is doing for the walls , I know he is going to try and make bifold doors but that’s a long way off , and no I will not Mill him any bigger beams as when he had a mate with a woodmizer in he would not Mill a small butt for me .Thanks guys as I was just curious , it seems my thinking was about right .
-
Thanks guys , much like I thought.

Hi guys , my new partners at my yard are just undertaking a D Fir timber frame build and I am interested in what he is doing he has a 6 mar span and is trying to use 6x2s but he has 3 joins that are just bolted with coach bolts as soon as I saw it I did say to him it wouldn’t work now he is trying to brace it up with like 2mm strips of steel , in my mind he needs to start again with some bigger beams what do you all think is there like any guide lines for timber frame work , if it was me it would be like 4x6 at least .

Hi I think that’s a good idea , one idea a fellow Arab talker mentioned to me when I had my accident was like an insurance type thing hear on arbtalk say we all put in a tenner and then buy some saws and invest the rest when one of us gets burgled or has an accident then there would be some help , like a saw to borrow until you can get a new one etc you get the picture what do you think , back to the monkey puzzle my mate who runs a sawmill is probably going to help me with it if I am lucky I might even get it milled on a woodmizer in with the deal
-
Hi Jon already asked a mate who has a hi ab lorry if he will move it for me just waiting for him to get back to me , I just thought it would be nice to share .
-
Oh god yeah the other side of the country almost , shame , hopefully someone will be up for it.
-
Hi guys so nobody wants to go shares on this monkey puzzle, bloody hell I really thought somebody would pitch in so it doesn’t get ringed up for firewood
-
Oh yeah will be totally looking after myself, last week after I got over the sawdust in my eyes , I then had some bug sitting on the bog throwing up in the bath , but better now thank F##k
