    Got to strip my 12x 8 sedgewick planer down in the next couple of weeks. The thicknesser rollers are not pulling the timber through and been putting it off since last year. They are spring loaded so as you feed the timber into the machine the rollers lift to grip the timber but its just stopped dragging the timber through so i have to manually push it then drag out the front end. It does leave marks on the surface so have to use the pad sander to finish off. New springs i should think but like rocking horse shite to get hold of the parts.

    If i was closer i would help no problem mark.Did you ever get the 24" thicknesser fixed as maybe could run the milled timber though that for now.

    Surly a second trusted gang you could pull in as and when work gets busy and just put your cut on top.I help out a roofing mate and when they are snowed under he pulls in a couple of extra guys on a subbing basis.

    30 is still young to start climbing if you have not had a beating and reasonably fit. I twisted my back putting an awkward ceiling up in a small cupboard age 21 and given me problems ever since. I have to visit my physio at least every 2 months to get straightened out or i am in a lot of bother

    What age to you guys keep climbing to. I am 50 and feel 30+ years of work on the body so could not imagine can be many in their 50/60s still working full time doing big take downs.

    Needs cutting and milling when its freshly cut really stubby. Terrible stuff the resin on your chainsaw bars

    To old now for anything other than firewood.Be full of sap now and a nightmare to do anything with.Even as firewood it would need to be burned with some coal or on a very hot fire as gives off a lot of tar

    Your machine is more than up to the job and a thumb grab will work no problem. If its just for loading cordwood onto a trailer no need to go to great expense.

    Their just a harder wood when air dried and will burn longer no question about it.
  19. topchippyles
    To someone who knows yes
  20. topchippyles
    Your wrong the air dried will always be more dense and burn longer

    Most like newport in general where some will have plastic windows/facia/gutters and go round the corner and still old wooden windows with old painted gutters.
  23. topchippyles
    If others close by with same sort of thing crack on. It is not a planning requirement anyway but one thing they do look for is within keeping so to speak.Your no where near national parks so fall under the general welsh planning/building regs
  24. topchippyles
    Is it within keeping of what is in the area gav
