    This one makes more sense than the scottish version (What a plonker) 🤣

    I use SBR its for my building work and always have it around. Seal all my end grain on logs or milled slabs and stops 90% of the spitting and cracking. Lash it on 3 coats Sika Bond SBR+ Waterproof Bonding Agent

    Only way to stop those rounds splitting is to seal them both sides with at least 2/3 coats of stuff and dry them slowly
  4. topchippyles
    Would help if you posted what area your in
  5. topchippyles
    Would it affect you much with a max cutting width of 700mm on those big slabs you do ?

    Been looking at the specs and vids on the tube. Like the fact you can use existing bars and chains

    Really thinking this route instead of a new bandsaw mill as have the 3 phase power and M7 5.4m already. Noise is the big factor with me as houses close by.

    Now just need my.timber delivery to come in! Chance will be a fine thing around here as been chasing around after larch for a couple of months. Can get 20+ ton loads but not able to take that volume due to access.

    Good tool if used a lot and i know roughy does. Quick if setup on a nice flat platform

    Funny enough i was just looking at those on the site. What size logs are you looking at milling (length) I have the M7 here which will do 5.4m and been toying with selling or hanging on to it.
  12. topchippyles
    Looking at the 2k mark with the vat for the 5m version
  13. topchippyles
    Put your eyes back in 🤣 Like em young to dont you eggs

    Forgot to mention selling ice creams 🤣

    We are talking london though which is higher yes ? Its the living wage which i am thinking is the norm in london but its not looking now. London Living Wage The London Living Wage is an hourly rate of pay, currently set at £10.85. It is calculated independently to reflect the high cost of living in the capital, giving a worker in London and their family enough to afford the essentials and to save.

    They only run a small market garden so £200 a month finance is not really suitable
  17. topchippyles
    Think you mean under 25 which will explain it.
  18. topchippyles
    Mark up real easy until they season dry 10% down
  19. topchippyles
    Not sure how big an area it covers but minimum wage for london is £10.75 which is 21k plus so how could they start at 18k or is it outside the ring fenced bubble so to speak.
  20. topchippyles
    I always put london 6/8K above the uk average ? north/wales/scotland
  21. topchippyles
    That is what mage me chuckle when it was posted. Some people has no clue how big a pile of 300+ ton of waste is and think its weeks work for 2 men chipping that lot without the soil and green waste.

    Just a general question. Any of you guys who climb in your day to day role as tree surgeons undertake it as a hobby in another capacity (rock climbing) Me and my mate got into abseiling when we were in college but never rope climbed myself.
  23. topchippyles
    Its not something as a family we do. Fake one looks the part and no mess. Got asked to cut down one that was planted outside many years ago and over 50 feet tall now 😬

    What is the cost of a christmas tree to mr jones these days. Not got a clue £20-30 mark ?

    Interesting read on a boxing day and only comment that this applies in construction as well (subbies)
