  1. Normally with a clean saw they don’t want to touch or get dirty!
  2. It’s only to show you can do basic maintenance, you haven’t got to strip anything down you wouldn’t on site to keep the day running. It’s not engine rebuild it’s 10 min to prove you can do very basic repairs. If your saw is pristine it will be a piece of piss.
  3. Mental isn’t it, if your ever stuck for anything this side of the water just shout 👍
  4. It’s mental prices at the moment, they will dip again a bit after the school holidays but evan so we’re almost trapped here! On the plus side it does keep most of the wrong uns out!
  5. What’s the job? There are many freelancers up n down the country that could probably help you out by turning up with a suitable saw for the job. Im not far away but the boat cost would kill it. There is a freelancers map on here some where, I could be tempted to have a look on the grounds that if you can’t find the saw to hire you have 2 options. 1 buy a bigger saw yourself or 2 hire a man with a saw.
  6. Possibly good for the other things in life that need doing but not so good for this as a community resource!
  7. It would appear the idiot is back again, shame as this pub is losing its regulars to a bunch of ******** 😏
  8. As doobin has said. You will lose some clients that are only interested in the bottom line but you will gain more that are happy to pay the vat as it shows you are a “proper” setup. If you do struggle in the transition your overheads have just dropped by the vat you can claim back so you can drop prices by a few % before vat and still pocket the same. However I wouldn’t recommend this, stick to your guns on price - the better clients are wait just round the corner waiting to avoid the one man band who they don’t see as proper(the same 1 man band that is vat registered is seen in a new light). When we registered I was worried the same, 6 months later we wished we had done it years before rather than dodging it by keeping turnover under the threshold.
  9. He called me that one, water off a ducks back but I got bored of him from that and other pokes and poked the ignore button, first time I have used it! Next hing I heard was he has fallen under the hammer, not great lose in my mind.
  10. Sorry bout that was not ment to cause offence
  11. Ignore button used, your boring me know.
  12. Unless you have got the special pruning spikes fitted! You normally need to send the apprentice to the van for them
  13. Get over yourself you Mong. If someone is interested in the work they will make the effort to reply in the manor that the potential employer has requested. If I was looking for somebody and they could not read that advert and reply in the manor requested they wouldn’t get the work as understanding basic instructions is a prerequisite of most jobs, regardless of being a self employed stubby or paye.
  14. I can’t remember about the rocker cover, it’s a while ago but don’t remember them being to bad to get out. As to pushing on to do the full set are you planning on keeping it or moving it on once running right?
  15. Soak them with penetrating oil for a couple of days n out they come with a puller like this The Fuel Injector Removal Tool Constructed Hardened 4140 Steel UK stock WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for The Fuel Injector Removal Tool Constructed...
  16. Wasn’t mick responsible for mountain mans antics a few year back? Or has the motorbike suit guy gone “pro”
  17. I will go with that, if not it may be mountain man what you reckon @Mick Dempsey

    That’s because of all the free work he has been doing!
  19. I guess a sole saw would have a plaice

    Jokes???

    That is proof of Darwin’s theory right there!
  21. If you have peat bog close by it could be bog oak. I grew up in the east Anglian fens, we had it there.
  22. I would of said that was a old wound rather than disease. From first glance I would of said that would out live many of us. Possibly a candidate for starting retrenchment pruning, it’s a cracking veteran tree he last thing I would do is recommend removal. I would possibly look at tucking in the over extended limbs now, come back in a few of years and reduce back to new growth lower down that has grown from a bit more light in the canopy. There is some nice metal work in pic 4, another reason to not take it down, some other bugger can have that sharpening fun Edit: Is that a large shear crack in pic one running up the trunk? In which case give it a bit more of a hammering! *all dependant on location and prevailing wind etc as well as some random bloke on line who can’t see the full picture!
  23. I steered away from bog oak as the op said drift wood so I assumed it had come from the beach. I know assumptions are the mother of all duck ups but I did it!
  24. I can’t help past it looks tropical to me, but this could be a good place to look: The Wood Database WWW.WOOD-DATABASE.COM Explore the woods, break out of the ordinary. Identifying and using hundreds of woods worldwide.
  25. I reckon it’s a pr stunt to get votes along with look we are trying to stop the boats rhetoric, in reality many of those in power probably own the hotels and the barge and are making a killing from the whole thing and don’t want the cash cow to end.
