Sold my collection several years ago. Regretfully. [emoji20]

Drivers discretion. I've been thrown off buses and refused boarding. Used buses for years in Brighton. I used several large sports bags to carry the 880 fuel oil and 4' mill on trains. If they can't see it.... [emoji106]

Depends where you're based and the kind of work. The north, domestic arb, you'd be on £100 a day, more for commercial and more down south. You are 21. Insurance is really expensive, you don't have to provide any kit. Did you pay for your own tickets? I know top climbers in an easy job on £65-70 a day. I also know top climbers on £200+ a day. Try free lancing if you think you've got the skills. You'll find out quickly if you're over or under charging.

West Sussex is cowboy country. Be very wary.

43. Really feeling it this year. Last year no problem, up and down the country, 12 hours a day blah blah. Now both wrists ache, right shoulder aches, back is getting abused, left eye sees lights, 9 fingers, Lots of scars and now my greying hair is receding. [emoji51]

Where are you cutting? West Sussex?

You can always spot ex Forestry, They can fell a tree without climbing it, With a ground Saw! [emoji849] [emoji12]

No one does Forestry just for the money. It's about having a forest as your office. Yes the pay and conditions are not good. Which is why a lot of us got in to arb work. More pay, better conditions. Having said that, if you can hack a few years in forestry, it'll be a walk in the park when you do arb. [emoji106]

Maybe it's the bar with the holes drilled through? [emoji848]

Stop!!! Yes you have to drill the bar. You've set it up wrong like that. Read the instructions manual. [emoji106]

What diameter and length? And which maple? Sycamore? [emoji106]

@wonky Might be interested. Thanks for posting [emoji106]

Had to trim this sycamore severely to get the panther mill to fit. The union was all the way through the log. It'll look epic as resin tabletops. [emoji106]

Yeah it's like this everyday, Causes havoc.[emoji12] [emoji106]

A little oak log this morning. [emoji106]
-
Well you've got the right kit. You won't need to cover the log. I do this regularly. Stick some photos up [emoji106]

Looks good. What do you need help with? What are you cutting with? [emoji106]

Commercially viable amenity uses for woodland
Rough Hewn replied to Big J's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Got a big list somewhere, I'm in a similar situation. I'll post it tonight. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] -
Ever had an ecological report in the woodland? (Epic thread btw) [emoji106]
