Hi Brecon is a beautiful part of Wales the Beacons are awesome, I lived up there in a horse drawn wagon when I was in my 20s , plenty of trees , but sorry no idea about work prospects Good luck with your move Mark

Hi guys I have been asked to quote for carving a bear out of some redwood it’s about 17/20ft tall I haven’t done anything that big before I was thinking £2500/3000 would you say that is about right , as always I appreciate your answers Cheers Mark

Hi guys I think it maybe what James pepper pop said as the butt is quite fluted and if the mill was running on an upward curve , but will obviously resharpen , dress the bar etc and let you all know how I get on Cheers Mark

Hi guys no the bar hasn’t seen that much action , would a slack chain cause my problem

Hi guys , I was doing my first bit of milling after my accident milling some western red got the first cut done ok then on the second the mill started to rise up from the face of the log , at the power head end I have never had this happen before ,as always your thoughts are appreciated Thanks Mark

Same as above where is it and what do you want for it Cheers Mark

I was thinking coast redwood , I was in a garden the other day delivering a bench and they had one bigger than the one in the photos a real gem it’s not often I wish I was a climber but that one the view would have been amazing . What’s the plan for the boards what are you going to make Cheers Mark

Sorry Kevin just Eggs and me having a laugh not sure I cold explain just call an in joke

Sorry Sir just on my way. Ha Ha Ha ha the best reply so far

Some are the same hear , I had A very safe park up in a car park of a closed cold storage unit I was living in a convenient 7and half tonne box lorry , I kept an eye on the garage at night and the garage kept an eye on my truck in the day when I was at work , then one day an Irish couple pulled their caravan on and their kids were all over my rig a couple of hours later more arrived trying to block me in I had to threaten to drive through a caravan to get out of there , so no not all travelers are nice folk just like people who live in just please don’t judge first not every traveller is a thieving scum bag just like not every black person who lives on an estate sells crack . I Do think we should just close this topic enough saiid I think

Well said Eggs , but I haven’t had been called Gobby for the last 30yrs for no reason, Time for a cold one I thinks , waiting for my mate to come and give me a lift to look at a new van coming back from the first show I have done since my accident in January got some orders on the books and my van blows up must be due some good luck soon Cheers All

That’s cool it’s a nightmare hollowing out like that I do it quite often Cheers Mark

I Tell you what guys I am getting totaly fed up with all this F###ing Shite , I still class myself as a traveler even though I live in bricks It really really saddens me to hear all this narrow minded bullshit Nobody F###ing ever bought anything from me and had a complaint can’t you all just wake up and smell the coffee , it’s the government, the bankers who are having us all over every day . Take a look in the sky at all those long lines that look like noughts and crosses the sky never looked like that when I was in my 20,s they are spraying heavy metals, chem trails , slowly insidiously killing us our kids our planet , we should all be sticking together to try and live together work together play together give it a try who knows you might learn something, This will probably be one of my last posts I thought we had a community on hear how F###ing wrong was I

I wasn’t going to comment any more but , we all wish that wrong uns didn’t exist but they do in all walks of life but if we start saying he’s a traveller or Buddhist they must be hounded given no work where does this kind of thinking get us bloody Natzi Germany , if you is a good egg old chap what the F##K does it matter if you have a blue mo hawk or short hair and a beer belly , Live and let Live , the American settlers decimated the Indians just because they didn’t or wouldn’t understand them , Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee is one of the Best and sadist books I have ever read , why can’t we all just help each other to get on Life is just too F###ing short

Loaves the house does the door open

That’s a real shame Mr west as if you had just looked past my silly hair cut you would have found out that me and my colleagues are extremely qualified have the right kit insurance etc and are actually very kind nice helpful people who prob would have given you a very good quote and come with references from people like The Lord Lieutenant of Dorset ,nd Sir William Hanham to name drop a few who actually liked my hair do , I like to be judged on the quality of the work I do rather than how I look , Punk Rock started in the 1970,s mo hawks are old news , sorry but I think it’s sad to judge a book by its cover . I will not say any more on this subject we should all stick together it’s the bloody government that screws us all over if we have a mo hawk and live in a bus , or have a side partin and live in a semi detached, we all work hard and do the best job we can , don’t judge others or one day someone might judge you . Cheers Mark

I thought I had something more to say

Nice one eggs for sticking up for the likes of us I have had quite a few dealings with the guys on hear one being an ex police man and non of them has had anything bad to say about me I too have lived in bricks for yrs grew up in bricks but wanted to see our fine country drink beer in Cornwall and look for the monster in Loch Ness , I worked in Alternative Circus all over Eroupe and yes a lot of traveling folk are wrong uns but I tell you what we don’t get no bloody pedos or nonces no sir no F###ing way , just look at all the crime from inner city estates but it’s just like bully breed dogs the press only pick up on what sells you get good and bad in all walks of life at the mo I have a blue mo hawk hair cut and at the show we did on the weekend a bunch on elderly ladies wanted an owl so I limped with it on a trolley to their bus , no judging me coz of my hair , it’s what you have in your Heart that counts treat everyone like you would be treated , and don’t even get me started on the bankers or the government, Enjoy the sun spread the love chill and have a beer

Oh my god it’s my cousin no no. It’s my brother after all we all look the same

We used to live on site only moved into a house for our daughter to go to school , every time we moved we would get a skip and leave the site spotless and then within a day or two people would be fly tipping and blaming us .

Hi John are you up for selling some of it if so how much for say 8/10ft long butt and can you deliver as my van just broke down quite catastrophically Thanks Mark
