That sounds bloody expensive. My D3 cost me £150 to get hauled from Charfield to Melton Mowbray.

What man as done, man can do, what never has,maybe
Sounds a bit steep to me
I’d run from Cheshire, Collect your tool and deliver (craned off) for that money but less the vodka 
even pay the man for you

Druid,
I’m in Avonmouth on Monday but going to be on a pretty tight schedule that day.
If you’ve not got it sorted in the next few weeks I might be able to help then.
Have you got cutting tools for it? I’ve got several buckets full of big HSS lathe tools that came from the same place as that chuck if you’re interested in some.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
my point exactly ..... that'd be a 410 mile round trip for you Paul ..... as opposed to 170 round trip for the comedian in a 7.5Sounds a bit steep to me
.... think I have it sorted tonight

Your method of means-testing definitely needs looking at if you deduce that my buying power is greater than Graham’s!...s**t

You aren’t wrong - I’m very bored of Bedford now!!!About time that job came to an end
And to be fair I’ve cheated here - the customer was less keen than me on the idea of a 180 tonne bonfire so the pile has ended up being chipped.

Saturday evening ..... he's getting there quietly
beautiful day Sunday ... gave the lawn yet another going over and got that back looking somewhere near right, after having to 'Dane' it last time.Also ran the Dane over the side of the drive, then shot up the rest of it and cut the passing places and round our 'neighbour's' two barns and turning area .. I get on well with them and they're decent guys.
us tucked in the scenery
something like 27C here Sunday .... in the shade ... Squeak relaxing .... hard life being a cat
he doesn't take to many people, but he loves Reo .. spends hours sat near him, watching what he's up to
Sunday evening
finished the day off with a couple of pallets and two dead dumpies ..... plus a few dead mower belts and a burgered barra tyre
certainly warmed the drum up a bit
Monday was another superb day, with a hell of a dew to kick off with .....
Monday evening ....
/... Tuesday/yesterday morning
28C in the shade here yesterday ... and Pam decided it'd be a good day to change the carpet in the office !!!! ... admittedly was nice and dry to chuck stuff out side and use the old carpet as a template to cut the 'new' one from ..... it deffo needed changing ... think the VAX'd have had its work cut out ... been easy enough out side .. doing it in situ 'd have been nigh on impossible .... couldn't believe how bad it was out in the harsh light of day
left an interesting outline on the floor, where I'd cut it ...... and I'm out o' pix again

new one rolled and ready to install .... I hate fitting carpets ... but went in sweet as ... with a bit of grunting
this mornings pix
Reo had to have a new cup today ......
... knocked the handle off his usual 'colour coded' mug yesterday .....so I Reo-proofed it this morning ... much to his (intended) amusement
this evening's results
has spent a lot of time on a cushion on his bum this afternoon ... working uphill, facing downhill ... not the most comfortable of courses
's a hell of a wall job
I've finally summoned the enthusiasm to shift me benches and miscellaneous crud hiding under 'em, to get the rest of the planings finished off ..
was stood looking at me scrap bins and a pile of dead batteries, pondering WTF to park 'em and thinking the bins were not going to take kindly to being moved (plastic 45s, which hadn't taken kindly to the UV they've been subjected to the last few years they've been stood in it) .... when Tony my scrap man drove onto me patch in his truck ..... couldn't have timed it better if I'd called him ... so man handled said 'fragile' bins into me fave Geith and dropped 'em in the back of his truck and gave it a good squashing down while I was at it .... said he's not stopped all through the 'madness' ... never been so busy
this was heavy ...
but eventually got it all cleared and ready to assault
just got to top off the clean 40mm up to level in the morning and give it the roller
looks very different without me benches out side the box doors ....... soon be time to get them air-borne, on the end of Russel's Liebherr and re-located
