| 999.1 | Cherry-picker needed | DEMON::DEMON::CHALMERS | Ski or die... | Mon Apr 22 1991 17:33 | 7 |
| I need to do some tree work that's beyond the reach of my ladder, so
I'm looking for a source and prices to rent a cherry-picker. I'm
located north of Boston, near Rt93 between 128 & 495, but no reasonable
distance would be too far. Thanks in advance.

| I'd also be interested in recommendations/experience/cost of renting a
coil or stick nailer (for framing) for a weekend...
I'm in Southern NH.

| 999.4 | Need to Rent Planks | AWECIM::MELANSON | | Wed Aug 10 1994 14:38 | 7 |
| I live in the Shrewsbury area and need to find a place that rents out
Planks 20'-28'. I've called Taylor Rental and a few other places
and was told that places usually don't rental these out.
Does anyone know of a place that does ??

| Try the yellow pages under Scaffolding -- Renting. I suspect they won't
have planks that long though.
|
| 999.6 | try asking for these | ELWOOD::DYMON | | Wed Aug 10 1994 16:45 | 5 |
| you might not be able to get "planks" that long but
you might be able to get ahole of some aluminum
planks for staging...

| When I built my house, I bought 16' 2"+ planks for cheap.
I think I paid $10 a piece. That was cheap then.
I don't know about now.

I checked last month and got a price of $22.50 for a rough
2x10x16' spruce staging board.

| 999.11 | Don't use pine... | LEZAH::WELLCOME | Steve Wellcome MRO1-1/KL31 Pole HJ33 | Thu Aug 11 1994 19:36 | 8 |
| Watch what you buy at a sawmill though, if it's going to be used
as a staging plank. Pine is **NOT** suitable for staging planks.
It is nowhere near strong enough to be safe. It would probably
work, but the chance of a fall is just not worth saving a few bucks
on planks. Back when I was younger and even more foolish than I
am now I used pine staging planks without mishap, but it was a
truly dumb thing to do, as I realized when I (later) saw how easy
it is to break one.

| I agree on not using pine.
Even a spruce plank 28' long is questionable.
It'll bounce a lot. The guys doing the siding better
be good at acrobatics. I had 16' spruce planks and they
bounced.

| I can't imagine using a 28' length without supporting it in _at least_ four
places (ends and two intervals between). If you're going to use that many
supports, you really don't need that length. (It's pretty tough to handle,
anyway.)

Well, I'm going to have to stop watching the Yankee Workshop...
I'm working on a counter top, and I'd like to try a biscuit joiner to
attach the trim pieces. These don't seem to be in big demand at rental
places. Has anyone ever seen one for rent in the Fitchburg or
Nashua area, or would any owners (and I know you're out there) consider
a one-day rental?

| 999.15 | now I buy all my tools :-) | HNDYMN::MCCARTHY | A Quinn Martin Production | Mon Aug 12 1996 11:58 | 14 |
| I've been in a few well stocked tool rental places and have yet to see
a plate joiner offered rental.
On the other hand, I happened to be looking through a booklet that came with my
Dremell or is that Dremmel? tool and it showed how to use it as a biscuit
jointer :-)
If you have a router, they do make bits to do the job.
What about using a straight spline instead?
Maybe move this question to woodworking_and_tools?
