Has anyone got the 3rd or 4th study book they'd be willing to sell?

Can it be done with a MEWP?

We're going down the ISA route. Granted, not the same "benefits" as the AA, but we've found Chas is sufficient for commercial clients, and domestic clients can be assured we're "accredited".

Just wondering what CAD software folk are using for surveys?

400 is a great all round saw and rips with an 18" on it. I use it as an all round every day saw.

Tip sites are good around us (W.Scotland) but it makes more sense for us to meet at the yard in the morning and tip logs and chips when we get back. Chips are either sold to gardeners (trailer/tipper load) or we call AW Jenks when we have an Arctic load.....we get around £8 per tonne atm which pays for hire of tele. Logs are kept in the yard and on quite days we split for firewood. We've tried the whole tip site thing but to be honest paying a farmer £300 cash a month for the space its far cheaper than paying to tip green waste or run around looking for gardens to tip into.....its just what works for us.

Do what we did, get in with a farm for yard space. They'll more than likely have a telehandler you can hire etc for loading, and you'll be away from prying eyes

The covers full of holes mate! Mine is the last in a long line 😂 will try the above 👍

Looking for advice. Put a hole in a lads CTE top cover (plastic). Would the best repair be fiberglass patching? Cheers

Best stove for ISO container Kiln

Thats dan sath mate, we're Glasgow! Get a yard in a rural area, ideally farm land, then you won't need to worry about smoke etc 👍 -
Best stove for ISO container Kiln
Excels1or replied to Excels1or's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Where you based mate? -
Not sure if this is in the right forum....we're currently converting 2 ISO containers into kilns for drying firewood. Given the price of electricity/gas we'll be powering the kilns with seasoned wood on our yard 1. Has anyone had any experience running kilns this way? 2. What would be the best stoves to use to power the kilns. TIA

Christmas tree millionaires
Excels1or replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I used to work harvest for the second largest Christmas tree farm in Europe which is just north of Inverness. They're definitely millionaires a few times over -
Looking at building a temporary (!) Chip box for the above. Looking through previous posts a lot of folk are saying marine ply and composite steel is the way forward. My question is.....does anyone have any pictures of how they've attached them...frames they've built etc? I have looked at pretty much all the other posts but can't find any decent photos. TIA

Already got a 20 tonne towable splitter for the yard, but what are folk using for small electric domestic splitters?

Cheers buddy. Unfortunately a bit far but thanks for the reply

Cheers Doug, thats a big help mate 👍

Got a client thats had a pine topped (not our work) leaving a large stem that he's wanting carved for his grandchildren. Been down the usual lines of enquiry, however everyone is too busy to take the work on, which is great. Clients been made well aware of decay that will set into the sculpture overtime etc, he's just wanting something done with it. Anyone here based around Glasgow that's interested?
-
Maybe been discussed before...but if you're using two ropes in a canopy and one of the anchors fail dragging you down, whilst still being held by the remaining anchor...whats the procedure?!
-
Good points, well made. However there's plenty of good operators working without 41 before it was made a ticket (I've got mine BTW before anyone jumps on me) that are superb climbers.
