Ok, I'm going to be really miserable now, people used to come in and ask for offcuts/sawdust etc when I was in the sawmilling game..."yeah but have you got anything bigger"..."p*ss off, I run a registered business not a registered charity" was the reply, yes I'm afraid it got to that stage, they failed to realise that back then my bandsaw cost £20 an hour just to run it, red deisel, saw doctoring, grease, oil, wear and tear, depriciation, down time etc and that was without my cut! One guy wanted some shavings, I let him shovel some up himself for free, he came back a few days later ranting and raving that the shavings had tainted the fur of the angora rabbits he was breeding (that'll be the tanin then mate)...Speechless.
