    One thing the army does extremely well is train up their leavers in preparation for the 'real world.' Maybe this is how the qualifications were obtained?

     

    In my experience, ex forces people have incredible abilities for hard work, strength, organization and ability to put up with crap weather, but the army is so weird - all the odd terminology and Victorian boarding school institutionalization, makes it hard for these transferable skills to come across on CVs or job interviews. 

     

    Ex forces guys seem to excel in logistics (HGV) Got a few mates who drive for a living all ex army.

    Many factors to consider. 

    Job and knock will favour the human telehandlers and those with lives who thrive on £150 a day in their back pocket.

    On the books I think you'd possibly struggle, depending on location, to find a labourer who would work 40hrs a week for minimum wage.

     

    Building trade and construction is my background but you tree guys seem to be around the same pay grades if any good. 

     

    Would you work  40hrs a week for minimum wage mark. I have always paid good wages which gets a better result in man power. Still using guys from 30 years ago respect was given back in the day and still is even though production is lower.

    So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
    I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

     

    I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
    I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly
    The sun has gone to bed and so must I
    So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
    Goodbye
    Goodbye
    Goodbye

  25. Vertical Band Resaw in South West

    Evening, thanks for the info. Have spoken to Valley and they can’t help unfortunately. I am not looking to waste anyone’s time. I just want to get a 7.4m length of Opepe resawn. I get it’s a hassle for a lot of people and no problem. Hoping someone out there might be able to help. I think a vertical bandsaw might be better as the timber could move as it’s pared down the middle. The timber was order for the renovation of a bridge but never put in. I need to get two sections of equal size at its full length. I understand that in an ideal world you wouldn’t cut the timber in this way but unfortunately it’s tricky to find this timber at this size and in this manner. If it bananas I believe I can still make it work as I am tensioning the lengths together using steel bars. So hoping I can straighten it out. Probably too much to explain here but if you think there is a mill I might just chat to appreciated. I don’t fancy my back up plan but sometimes needs must. 

    A proper bandsaw mill will be far better than a vertical one if you can find someone locally.
