  1. Past hour

PFERD Round Chainsaw Files Box of 6 | Low Cost WWW.GUSTHARTS.COM PFERD Round Chainsaw Files: High-quality, durable files for sharpening chainsaw chains. Essential for peak performance.

  3. usually done with a forwarder with a brash grab on it, one site a couple of year back they had a 20 tonne digger with a brash rake on it and only thig they left was the needles,,
  4. thats sweet chestnut, mostly spruce and a bit of dougles up here,
  5. OK, I pinky promise.
  6. Today
  7. Im fastidious about getting the depth gauge for each cutter right, for me this gives a chain which cuts straight and bars don't wear unevenly, so just need a bit of cleaning up the wear ridge now and then. Just hold the flat file across the bar with fingertip in the centre to show any lean, drawfile to clean up.
  8. A friend is a photocopier repairman (there’s a dying trade anyway). He spends a lot of time driving, often two hour stints between jobs and home at the end of a long day. He gets walked over for paid traveling time btw but my main point is how horrendously dangerous the job is. Climbing trees, you’re only dealing with your own stupidity and your rigger’s. He’s dicing with hundreds of morons in 80 mph steel boxes every hour.
  9. Stihl 2 N 1 Easy File
  10. Not got one, but this looks pretty easy:
  11. I wouldn't want to use openable rings for that because it's not perfectly smooth for the rope depending on orientation, which you can't see at the time. Personally I'd buy a 2m multisaver and when you've used it so much its worn out you have no qualms replacing it.
  12. 12' is a big tree to transplant, there is only a certain success rate.
  13. I crashed on the M1 working in Leicester which is about an hour and a half away, just fatigue on top of long days. Work for myself so changed company policy instantly.
  14. Got the chimney barrel on it now. Full chat. What the last half an hour has shown me is how absolutely risible the notion is that you could do anything in the event of a house fire except die.
  15. Wordle 1,388 6/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  16. I'll be impressed if you can grow Cloves as well.
  17. I’ll check the layer of compost on the kitchen bench top to see if there’s any sprouting cloves. I’m up the garden atm, burning a sofa and a mattress. More my usual gardening.
  18. I don't expect it is deadwood that's a problem but that recently felled logs big enough to provide fresh breeding galleries that remain moist enough to support the grubs. If they are small they will dry quickly and the grubs cannot live on dry wood. Similarly a healthy spruce will drown the bugs in resin but a sickly one will not. Insects seem to have a better ability to find a stressed tree to invade than us.

  20. Garlic would be a good fit I think. If you don't want to grow much then it makes sense to major on a cash crop like that. Minimal work once it's in the ground as well, it'll just sit there and do it's thing until it's ready to be picked in July.
  21. Yup, worldwide stocks have crashed. That is any investment in equity including pensions plummeting. My advice to anyone is to ride it out. It may take 4 years until his term ends or even sooner if someone takes him out. I would imagine even his supporters will get a bit miffed when they see 15-20% wiped off their pensions. Happy days.
  22. Jesus Christ!
  23. A chainsaw file.
  24. Hi. What is the easiest tool for sharpening my chain?
  25. ahhh, are those the prices he is lowering, stock prices?
