  1. I think with all these cheap sharpeners about now (lidl/aldi) £30 mark and videos on youtube i would be thinking twice if your looking at making money from the diy market. Couple on the bay seem to have got it cornered if you look.
  2. £20 a ton ?? Is that in your the man from the pru days ? The first Prudential agents were appointed in 1848
  3. I have a mountain of oak sawdust and shavings and supply a guy who runs a smokery near me.Can ship bags in 5/10/15 KG if this is any help.
  4. I could take some to if it makes up a load gav if it helps.
  5. With you on this one. The body can only take so much and tried to look after myself where possible.Normally go to my physio every 6/8 weeks which does benefit me massively.Body is screaming for a treatment now but due to lock down not been able to see anyone ?Restoring an old chair for his wife this week so fingers crossed ? Then the pubs open and some sort of normality.
  6. I have some lovely seasoned stuff here and only half hour from that postcode. Will pm you my details and they are welcome to call up and i will cut bespoke if they would like that option.
  7. I have been milling all day using the alaskan and tree is way bigger that that beach you have
  8. I think he was referring to the other way around ?and willing giveaway couple of slabs for someone who can mill it ... Surrey England ?
  9. To the pub as opening soon on the news tonight ??
  10. You would have to pay to get that milled or give it away and ask for a small share. You seriously think someone is going to mill that for a few slabs (come on)
  11. will handle a 24 " bar easy
  12. Try putting where you are located as the uk and the world is a big place ??
  13. 70cc saw so she will handle a 24" bar and you have an alaskan mill yes ??
  14. Not sure what saws you have but maybe worth milling it up where it is. Decent money in beach when its dry
  15. That is why i have spend a few k setting up my mobile milling.
  16. know all the lads where i am so normally £50 drink and they do it on an empty back run. Seen me even order a ton bag of sand before now which i never need just to get the hiab and wagon there. Drops the sand and log at my yard but bosses never question the location as it was booked to drop off the sand ?
  17. Not unless any disease in the tree or stored near old contaminated stuff then no.
  18. I use the local builders merchants trucks when need a favour.They tend to have 7.5 ton with hiabs and will lift a good weight.
  19. Beach tends to warp more when air drying.Put 6/8 mm spacers every 3.4 feet apart between each slab and band them together real tight. Make sure they are in the dry though. Safeguard Heavy Duty Pallet Strapping Banding Kit 1
  20. No i do not need them felling,I asked about what saws you carrying and will keep you as a saved contact on here, Very rare i need any help but up scaling a bit and your withing driving distance from me now i know your about looking for work. Keep an eye on the threads as all the main players in the uk post on here looking for new staff.In the last hour posted Forestry Operatives
