  4. Give clive francis tree surgeon abergavenny a ring on 01873 859273 and he may be able to help,Real nice guy.
  5. You are correct sir,I run my 7.5 ton lorry on private use on my car licence,No taco needed and its insured on my trader policy,I do self builds for myself so when i have been stopped i just say to vosa and police that its used for my own personal use i never get any problems what so ever,If you use the wagon for paid work you need to do the 6 week checks.
  6. If its only used for carrying private goods then no need for 6 week checks,Thats how i use my lorry
  7. I have used the-trak met pawel has in the yard and what a fantastic bit of kit,I would have bought the ttp-600 but it is between 3 and 6 months delivery time and i needed a mill straight away,Went for the woodland hm 130 in the end as was available from sweden in 4 days,Not a patch on the trak-met but for the price i am well ,happy,Pawels saw is available last time i spoke to him.Some toy that is and towable allowing the option of mobile work.Think it was around 17K but depends on your budget,If the ttp-600 would have been available asap with the hydraulic loader i would have gone for that every time.His is a 3 phase saw so would suit you and has the capacity of 10 m long logs if i remember.
  8. A rubber hose would do it like they use on cars coming from the radiator to the engine and 60 mm is quite common.
  9. Really full on advert but its your way of working and you have stated what is expected.
  10. So if someone spends a few years building up a business then they should just give it away for free,That just the way it is.
  11. Sounds like you have made up your mind and you have a good established set up already so you have nothing to lose really,If it gets to much you can always scale back to one team ?. Good luck whatever you decide.
  12. A henry is as good as anything as all the plumbers use them for servicing boilers.
  13. Check your private messages as i have given you a number for a good brick layer
  14. 13% are fine to use,How can a log be to dry to burn,When using for woodwork the moisture needs to be correct but for burning anything under 20% is ideal.
  15. 1st what timber are you cutting,Sounds like you are forcing the saw which would put pressure on the chains.
  16. Pine gives off tar which will stick to your flue liner so always use a little bit of coal as the heat will kill of the tar and keep the liner clean.
  17. Been there so i never use youngsters only experienced guys,Most of my chaps are 35+
  18. Can you draw up a bill of quantities and break it down item by item /job by job/Hourly rates that can cover both you and them so everyone knows exactly what the cost will be for both parties,My lads use my kit all the time on their own jobs where it be a trailer/excavator ect ect and we never have issues.Just make sure all insurances are in place and any none payments are down to them and not to you so in that case you will still get paid.That way they will realize what it takes to run a full business with all the overheads involved,Cash jobs are always nice though. Feck the tax/vat man. ?? . Tell them to take one of these below if it goes tits up
  19. Guys i have probably made and hung more gates than most being a carpenter joiner,Larch is not a heavy timber and its only a pair of 5 bar gates being hung on 9x9 oak posts,The hinges in the above picture will be more than strong enough for the job with the bolts he is using,I would fit the top hinge first and then lift the gate on to it,You can then pack up the gate on the outer end in the closed position to where it should be and the fit the bottom hinge upside down to avoid anyone stealing them and repeat the same for the second gate making sure you position both to the correct fit. Very simple indeed.
  20. 7 mm wood bit will do the job
  21. I am up in tredegar and my guy jeff brings up a double trailer load for me and has a huge crane on it so i will ask him when i get my next lot of oak and ash in.Got some great oak off him last couple of weeks which am sawing up at the moment if anyone is looking for some.
  22. Its a hard thing to deal with stress,I have had 2 break downs and fought off alcohol which i enjoy very much,Make an appointment with your doctor asap and talk things through is my advise before things get to much.All the best les
  23. If you were closer to me i would have been happy to help
  24. I am a joiner/carpenter with a small sawmill and i love the look of your kitchen which would be great looking in a farm type house.
