  1. 3 foot most liley half rotten fencing with 3" posts 6' long. But when its pointed out to him how atrocious this is its not his fault. Its the customers fault. If you need the customers knowledge and experience to be able to define your job you have to know you're well outta your depth.
  2. Im comfortable enough in my sexuality to be flattered that you instantly thought about posting multiple messages about my 'lunch-box' when I post a 'selfie' Do you want my only-fans account?
  3. Legless, you just admitted your old dears not up for any rumpy pumpy on another thread. Could it be that she's not happy with the end product? I hear that the Scottish Window Cleaner is looking for a new hire?
  4. You could well be right? Im sure I seem them at £1500? But maybe that was for the Chain Mortiser? Not a clue. Its an oldr design. Makita was the only 16" offering for years I think? The one I bought was built in 07. Im struggling to make a sexual pun out of that but I feel there is one there some where.
  5. This had to be the worlds biggest build up to a disappointment since Kevin Costner starred in Waterworld.
  6. What was that comment about small pee pee's you just posted? My My legless, you do like to line them up for me.
  7. You got me there Les. I like to re enforce that by also thinking about buying a 2018 Dodge Ram next Summer.
  8. Nothings rude with me. [emoji16] Hopefully it runs on the 110v transformer and has no detrimental effects. I paid $500 for the saw and about $250 shipping and tax. I think it’s £1500 here new?
  9. I watched a few YouTube vids from Folk importing them to the U.K. and running them on a transformer. Seems to work? I based all my knowledge on this. [emoji3] I don’t think it’s soft start no. It does not pick up much speed at the best of times as far as I can see from the videos.
  10. I’ve not fired it up yet as I need to swap out the plug. Will have a look the morn. Spend the day installing larch cladding on my brothers office/workshop then milling a load more. But that’s the plan for this too. Got some 5” think Ash that I wanna rip a straight edge off to get it on my bandsaw. I’m gonna see if clamping a ladder to the slab works.
  11. Hey Eggy. It’s 110v. Need to swap out the US household plug for a U.K. 110v transformer plug.
  12. It’s a Makita as well. 16 5/8”. Not readily available in the U.K. not planning a track for it but will just screw/clamp a straight edge if I need to. Will mostly be using it for my first attempts at timber framing along side the Makita chain Mortiser I got through Johnson
  13. Good on ya! I’ve just bought the same machine but it’s a first gen Grindlux 4000. Needs a few new bits before I can try it but looking forward to that. The joys of buying off of eBay but thankfully paid with PayPal so got most of the cash back.
  14. Just arrived from the US. Needs a new plug and then I can have a play,. Can cut 6" at 90 degree's.
  15. Utter BS. You also seem to forget others on here live in Scotland as well. A quick FB Marketplace or google search will bring up loads of hits on folk offering power washing services all over Scotland. Same as gutter and roof washing and of course window cleaning. You’re not even a Jack of all trades master of none. You’re a chancer of anything you think will earn you a few pennies and then seem to move on to your next hair brained idea that will earn you this fortune you so desperately crave. Why after you spent £5000 on a stocks and shares course you’re still trying your hand (and failing) at different manual jobs instead of letting the stocks work for you is a clear indication of what a total BSer you are.
  16. Window Cleaning is a trade now is it? Heard it all now. 🤣
  17. On a website like that I’d expect to see driveway tarmac on there as well.
  18. 4” posts in a 3-6’ foot fence for me. Corners and strainers 6-8” 3’ deep for 6’ and I’ve been chapping them in 30-36” as well. Just as well I’m getting Larch so cheap! [emoji16]
  19. Its good to voice concerns over certain kit and you've taken all the criticism on the chin. I think its a bit unfair to say that the issues you've had are entirely your fault. Perhaps Low-pro with a 120cc Saw is still in the trial and error stage? Perhaps it will die a death soon? Im gonna give it a bash in the full knowledge I'll have to take it easy and will most likely run into issues. I need to be milling later this week and there is no .404 bars available ti at least the 10th and even then it could be later. I'll report back and see how I get on. And I'll be using a Winch as well, I dont agree that you loose that much feedback with them. Since Robs being heralded as the Alaskan Guru here and he uses them thats good enough for me.
  20. I’ve just ordered the 64” Low-pro bar and 80” Panther Mill. Will see how I get on. [emoji16]
  21. 100%.
  22. Good luck with your Mill.
  23. There are unfortunately too many instances when I wish we had a dislike button as well as the like one. Perhaps our magnificent Mr Bullman could facilitate this ? That would be great! Good idea.
  24. I’ll happily come. But as I said, it’s £1000 a day. I’ve limited time available. Or offer someone else a day rate, or get someone like Stephen Cull in? Or live with some slight marks in the timber? Many folk have offered you lots of suggestions including myself which was often ignored which then proved to be the issue. Your choice to ignore it though.
