  1. I've cut and split sycamore in June, left in the sun for 2 week and it's been 20%, that's when the sun has been beating down on it for that time.

    Tarp makers

    Does anyone know any tarp makers please?
  4. I think it cancels it out he a log man and fixes gennies and your a gennie man that sells logs:) my point was that where I live people think Ahh selling logs is easy money, they don't invest in kit or timber and get a few trees off a farmer or something, I was having a bad week at that point mate.
  5. It's a right nightmare:)
  6. I bought some arbortec glove and they had there first test today, they are now in the shed where they will be staying! Not impressed. The fingers are poor and the stitching in the fingers is poor IMO.
  7. I stopped using Oregon as they seemed to be crap nowadays, I use vallorobe?? Or whatever they are called, blue box, I got a nice kit off clarks.
  8. There is only protection in the back of the left glove not the fingers isn't there?
  9. I paid £40 per tonne last march for 26 tonne, it cost me £13 + vat for haulage. So that's just over £55 a tonne in my yard, then it needs processing into logs and storing for a year, to process the lot may take me a week with my processor.
  10. Jonsies website is more addictive than crack!!
  11. Tell me about it, I have still got 3 grands worth sat there and that's what it cost me!!
  12. I know a contractor who does stuff for bt, pruning and clearing from poles and taking old poles down.
  13. Fair enough mate, I was just having a rant:) all the best.
  14. Are you packing in the architectural work and doing the logs as a side line? If you are then fair enough but if the logs are a sideline what about log company's in your area? It's hard enough to make a living at the moment and the people decide to do it as a bit of extra income and end up taking work from people who are in that game:)
  15. Pm sent.
  16. If you use the search section of the forum you should find risk assessments and health and safety stuff on there.

  21. I can't speak highly enough of Cameron and the Trust Krew! I had to claim a few years ago as one of my workers cocked up and thought a big ol dougie fir would look good on a wooden foot bridge:) they paid up with no hassle.
  22. Ha,ha. No!! I need to buy a pram!
