I hope you're right.

I dont know what the plan for the sleepers are but Beech is not rot resistant like Oak. You be better off with Larch if its genuine Sleepers for the garden, but Im sure you'd get a good few years outta them regardless.

I know all about the back. Had my second surgery in January past. One of the reasons I prefer the Bandsaw Milling now. There's a lad in Fife who had a big Bandsaw, he's £80 an hour. Alaskan Milling can be slow. Maybe a Logosol M7/8 or F2 etc? But yeh, also easier just to pay folk.

I charge £360 a day now. (£45 an hour) But dont bother with less than a full days work. Its just not worth the time to do half days. Not when you factor in all the prep the day before, travel, setting up the mill at site then packing everything away at the end of the day, then travel home, then put everything away again. If folk where coming to me with wood to Mill I think Id do a minimum of 3 hours, ie £135, plus the band. Could be a good investment to buy a 24" or 36" Alaskan yourself? Would pay for itself in a day or two?

I understand that. Seems like the lad is finding sizable bits of rubber, or some other contaminates? I get that wood can break down to such a small size and bypass the filter. But cant see how these larger particles can? I'll have to break my NAS Tester we used out in the Sahara to have a look and see how bad it is.

getting too deep for me. :Dc

I see you swapped the word swap for switch. Clever.

what was the outcome for your Brother?

I wonder how many actually get paid back? Gonna be some significant tax hikes in the pipeline.

Its truly shocking how easily it is to take out one of these loans and how quickly the money is paid out with next to no actual checks.

I wonder if getting asked Post-war, " Are you an evil killer"? Might be easier to say , no I was one of those guys who tried to miss. Its the other 85% where where the evil killers.

He's in Portugal so maybe has inferior fuel compared to the UK? Still not sure how its getting past the filter though?

How does do these pieces get past the filter?

I guess thats why he's got the fake Sky Scam going?

Love it!

Are you sure its not from the rubber elements, ie diaphragms, hoses etc perishing at the swap over from conventional fuel to motomix?

Its an utterly pathetic dig at a few folk on here. These Mills are literally aimed at people doing just that, buying a Mill and having a bash. At the 'homesteader' who wants to save money by milling their own products and people who want diverse into another market or job and continue to provide for their family. Its not Rocket Science to operate one or understand why people he clearly see's beneath him would invest in a Mill. If Milling and being the worlds best Chippy paid so well I wonder why he needs to top up his income by selling illegal Cable/Sky type Dongles on the side?

Yeh, Im flat out with work these days. Could work all the days I want but want home to see the family. Some lads I was out with last night have stayed in Norway since March and have made close to £100,000 in the first 6 months of this year. In the grander scheme of things the vast majority of companies out there are not doing well at all. Where the Furlough and wages paid for by the Government, ie you, to end we'd see the reality of the devastation being wrought to the UK. These busy Tree Guys can only go out and make good money and be flat out as long as there is average folks getting paid a wage from either their companies or the Government. If and when that dries up it will have a knock on effect I feel. We're in the eye of the storm just now and have a sense that things are getting back to normal when it could be the exact opposite. I hope not though and I hope those in power see sense and end this charade. Congrats on the mortgage payments though, would love to see that one day myself. One lad out last nigh says he pays something very similar to what you're paying purely to have the bank look after the deeds for him. Where he to pay the mortgage off in full he'd have to pay a solicitor to transfer it and he's too tight for that.

Interesting to see the more Les posts the more inept, clueless and out of his depth is actually is. We're still yet to see anything he's actually produced.

I think between my brother and I we'll use them all quite soon but if not then I'll drop you a PM.

A few months time and C-19 will be back in full swing. Or the regular flu will be , or both and the world will panic as far more die from the regular flu than C-19 and they won’t know what to do. Full lock-down again. Jobs will have to go as we’re already 330B in the Red over this farce. It’s gonna be a blood bath next year so I can see why the lenders are reigning in their liabilities, even low risk as the uncertainty of the coming year/s is to great. I was very fortunate to buy my house on Friday. We where down to the wire too. Mortgage offer expires tomorrow and I’m quite sure I’d not get offered another loan due to the uncertainty and also being paid in Kroner. Interesting times ahead.

I really don't see what folks issue was with it? Be nice to see them post up some of their work.

His Boss paid him about £3000 for that table. Not bad money really.

Les, I know you like a wind-up, me as well. So I dont blame you for trying. Now I know certain imperfections runs through your bloodline, does that include reading as well? I guess affected minds is something quite close to home for you, right? Because Ive clearly stated I did not make that table, twice now. I have to be on good behavior these days, otherwise Id have you spitting blue murder, whining about your poor old wife and demanding the Mods shut your thread down. By all means post your Ash thread and by all means keep this childish game up, just dont go crying to the mods this time, huh?
