  1. talking of walnut stocks, can i just use Liberon Superior danish oil on mine? cheers
  2. Thanks for the help ?
  3. Question time ? I have these logs that I'll be milling over the wknd The one at the back on the right is cherry 4 other big logs are beech and little one at the front is obviously oak Question is what's the best thickness to do them to keep the wood as stable as possible during drying, I'm thinking 40/50mm? They'll most likely be used for a bbq area or that sort of idea, so most likely external application Also, does anyone ever spray their slabs with woodworm preservative just to do all they can to get the little shits out? Thanks again ?
  4. nice one, thanks
  5. yeh thanks, just i do like something half decent quality, if i've got a kit i'll use it on all my milled stuff and anything else that needs strapping for that matter!

  8. what would you recommend i do with these slabs of beech, i've just got 3, 5 ton ratchet straps on them, mega mega tight they will be outside a little while before they go in the kiln then a sheet of celotex over the top is there more i should be doing to make sure they don't move, they'll be for table tops so!! thanks

  17. how do you find those saw horses? are they worth the big money?? cheers
  18. not sure i agree with the BFG trading on their name!! BFG's are made by Michelin who make pretty much the best tyres out there. i used to have general grabbers on my ranger but find the BFG's better on wet tarmac BFG's and gernerals both have wet grip rating of a B but personally have found the BFG's more predictable!

  21. don't get me started on this whole eco shit. take a biomass boiler, it costs loads more to make the boilers, they are huge to make the chip, all the equipment to harvest it, chip it, sell it, deliver it to site, move it from lorry to storage (alot of the time can't tip) and they want to stop the local guy cutting and splitting a few logs by hand to put on his fire to help heat his house and they want to tax him for doing that anything that is 'good for the environment' all you are doing is relocating where the 'damage' is done. it's the same with anything if you are running something 'eco friendly' to heat your house, there is just another few harvester's running round the woods to fuel your biomass or a few more factories in the country side making more metal to make the bigger, heavy, more expensive, less reliable air source heat pumps. rather than your little gas boiler or log burner puffing out a couple of fumes at your house... the fumes you are now not letting out of your house, there is 50x the amount puffing out in the country side to make it possible for you to run your 'eco friendly' system electric cars, yes there is no exhaust, amazing, but have u seen the massive coal fired power stations running the factories to make the car and make the electricity to power your car? oh and those extra mines for making those batteries and all the extra haulage...... oh yes but they are still produce '0 emissions' - do they ever!!!! they are worse it's all a load of bollocks..... just coal roll a diesel truck for work, run a filthy chipper, heat your house with a boiler, light your fire when u want eat keep eating meat. i feel better now!! has greta gone back to school yet??
  22. JTM have good prices but if it's copper you are after, you really want to get Yorkshire stuff it's not cheap but it's the best grade of copper so won't go green as quick
  23. thanks for the replies, i guess it'll be coming down shortly then
  24. Basically the garden is being redone, level it all and then grass And don't really wants roots in it!! But it might be a case of just having to take it out but don't really want to Thanks
