Although unlikely it's possible that there post tax profit's haven't changed meaning that it was beyond there control! Also the figure by itself is just displayed to cause trouble! Have there sales stayed static or quadrupled as well what was there profit percentage last year? Most companies relying on fuel for there income took quite a battering the first year of lock down due to very limited car use! So whilst it could just be blatant profiteering it could also be a collection of causes allowing the press to present a sensationalist figure that is no whare near the true picture!

Thats pre tax though what percentage has there profit gone up after tax?

If they go to court and lose they get the courts sentence and the sentence that they would of been given by the magistrates on top!
-
Not if you add what the magistrates would of given them to the sentence!

Had a tuff phone lasted 6 months very slow and laggy shame as there customer care was great

Given that that's presumably a tractor up front is it really a big deal at the speed they move it's not like it's going to be thrown round corners?

I'm about to cut some larch/wrc to build some beds for the kids and get it dried locally but was wondering am I best to cut oversized components and get them dried or to slice the log into required thicknesses then have the slices dried then cut into components after also would 5mm be enough over for planing?
-
I've got the Stihl one and it's great within its capabilities! But if I wanted to log up 14 plus inch logs all day it would be next to useless so they are good but like most other saws they are to a degree task specific!

If done correctly I believe there sealed in the tank then heated Which forces moisture out then sucks the creasote in as it cools
-
Oh that sounds odd we are struggling to get timber delivered because we don't take diseased so trying to find out what's required to take it as our suppliers have plenty of the diseased larch available
-
Has anybody sorted the paperwork out to be able to cut diseased larch recently and able to point me in the direction of further information regarding requirements for a licence and the general requirements please Tia Pete

What's wrong with the one you've got or is it missing completely

They've been threatening that for decades the inconvenient thing is if they where right the first time then It should already be well over these places

Price of larch, Douglas Fir & Spruce
billy_wizz replied to Welshsteve's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I think there on penalty clauses for under supply on some sites hence them buying and chipping good wood -
Most old sawmills have stenners lol they where the best of the best till they sat back and let everyone overtake them
-
In my experience there's not much point in contacting stenner full stop as you can have the parts made before they come back to you! Any pictures of the old girl

Regularly see larch being sold as hardwood logs in shops near me lol -
To be fair you could put any politician on the picture
-
To be fair I've found dry larch to cut very well but we have a 7 inch stenner band saw pick a blade with narrow tips slightly wider than you would for hardwoods and it cuts nice quite often find that some of the springiness relaxes out as well!
-
Is that roadside or deliverd

Hey guys what's the cheapest decent mechanical chain sharpener available at the minute and what mechanical chain sharpener do people consider to be the best value currently please Tia

Looks like a hand crank carriage to me the carriage is in the end and I'm guessing the winder that I initially thought was for setting the fence is in fact a hand crank for the carriage but could be wrong can't see any gear for a hydraulic drive system After looking at the pics again seems the handle is to set the fence so could be manually operated

Assembly a week to a month? Perhaps if you're doing it a couple of hours a night! One day to put it in place one day to level obviously that's assuming the pit and concrete pillers are in place
-
Ah didn't know that
-
Probably because they don't really want to deal in anything less than full artic loads by choice
