gripfill works everytime on any surface, I've never had any problem with it bonding. If the item was prone to flexing or movemnt (I don't mean wood) I would use a product like "SIKA-FLEX" but that is total overkill. Gripfill sets hard and doesnt allow for "alot" of movement and Sika-Flex is...

it's a seasonal job. I done it, and done it for a lot, lot less. I'm paying more than any other company. i never find any problems getting people to take the job in season. and i like most love the work it's a style that most in the UK will not get to do. It's a holding page, it does say...

it's a seasonal job. I done it, and done it for a lot, lot less. I'm paying more than any other company. It's a holding page, it does say we're working on it.

new post above, BTW. Normally during the season i take guys on for a few days work and if we gel and they work well they get to stay the whole season. I like it this way that way i don't have risk flying a guy out and he turns out to be a numpty. I put highly experienced on there to keep...

the long and the short of it is, Every year 10's of 1000's of people rock up to the mountains in a bombed out van looking to earn a bit of cash and ski. they sort out there own accommodation look for nothing other than beer money and some hours of work to fund the lifestyle. In 3-4 months...

I've not lived in the UK for a long time so maybe I'm a bit off with my rates in comparison to the boys in london but theres others out there who are certainly not getting £15 or close. I looked hard on the wonderweb for uk rates and thought in fact i was offering more than average. Please...

they will be working for a french company and have a french address etc. I use a UK payroll (PAYE)company so they do not loose there UK entitlements. i'm not looking for a bloke who has a wife and kids at home in the UK, tried that and it doesn't work. It's more suited to someone single who...

i looked around to see what the pay rate was at the moment, a few london boys are 14-15p/h but supply own tools and transport. i supply everything and have nice Festool goodies to play with. the 12 seemed to be decent enough and there's free accommodation, flights and vehicle. maybe i will...

evening guys, Wondered if you could help me, this is more of a trade question than hobbiest but i know some trade guys like myself hang out here and remember JEFFINFRANCE had a similar situation, so here goes. I'm looking to employ a new carpenter to start with me but can't seem to find...

i really think these are all correct.... the fire pole is definitely true. whats the verdict

here's my personal favourite, i just need to find out who can make these for me, I have a company in india sending me some samples of what they offer and all the differant species. @ acewoodturner, Can you offer more detail and style than what's shown on your sample? i would really like a...

couldn't agree more with both statements! college provides you with tools anyway, don't take your own they will only get borrowed and nicked. If you drive there then a regular toll box will do, and if you're walking there, i wouldn't be carrying the tools. only another invite to get nicked...

unfortunatly "knot" all the guys i know oop north all work for firms and all the good guys that work for me live in kent and bristol. I shouldn't think it hard to find workers these days. especially quality work like that. tony

believe it or not, i'm actually working in an 18th century nunnery at the moment. It has just been released on the open market and i've got the joinery contract. Was totally stark before, almost nothing in it, really basic. So i'm guessing the French nuns life isn't quite as luxurious as an...

this is really nice work, Is it a newly built church? I've always wondered who got the church contracts -the only reason i tend to visit is to check out the wood work, that as well as the obligatory birth, marriage and death. What denomination? it almost looks quite welcoming, Is the Vatican...

without deleting everything how do i resize????

Thought i would share with you all what i've been working on the last 3 weeks, I'm sorry there's not many before's... i only tend to take photo's at the end of the day. the wood for the bedroom unit is known locally as Chablis, its various types of spruce that have fallen long before they have...

There's no question of exchange rates, my price is in €€€€'s and the day rate for the boy's in the uk is in £££'s. tony
