Are you.a robot?

The government are crooks. They profit massively from tobacco revenue. They could ban it, and other damaging drugs, but they won't. As it suits them not to do so.

could be either as you say Stubby, but there is a distinct difference between the English sawn off shotgun and the Irish version.

FFS! Stubby... please keep this one quiet. Don't want the world taking all of that too. ( I am like minded, it burns well, dries quick, the energy in it is released as heat quick (hot fires) but you need to refuel more often... but if anyone asks, it is rubbish and here is my address if you want dump it there)

Theres a few up now of ash beech and sycamore but not much, not sure what my landlord would say about tree surgeons tipping in the yard I have thought about it before. Its on a working farm so would be best if I went and got it at least then I can stack it in the right place and not have it tipped in the way. Like I said was only an idea as I ised to enjoy it but its not the end of the world if I couldnt make it work.

Probs a Holland and Holland or maybe a Purdey 🙂

I know it might be hard to sell given the myths about soft woods but I would have leylandii all day long and twice on Sunday . Terrific fire wood .

In theory the separation thing works. In practice for a few months of the year it’s impossible to pick and choose where in the field you tip. You’re just lucky to get in and out.

Loads from facebook... I would be wary - usually it is leylandii or similar, the big money is in hard wood which is rarely given away on facebook. Reading your posts above, sounds like you have a bit of a yard available - could be a better option to talk to the local tree surgeons direct and persuade them to use you as a tip site - plus side is it is delivered (might have to pay fuel money), bad side is it is going to be more softwoods than hardwoods. Rather that than random bits of wood from back gardens.

english sawn off, or irish sawn off?

Did you have a good look around for the cash ? 🙂

I am trying to work that out but just can't see it . The saw cant run backwards ? I recon he was bullshitting you and there was some other explanation .

Sawn Off Shotgun not at all rusty. Not in a tree but in our wood in patch of bramble underneath tree.

a big fat old w4nker i used to work for

One of the lads I employed in the late 80s was cutting by his feet and caught the trousers, the chain dragged the protection round and the chain and bar the other way and cut his calf, seemed a bit strange but that's what he said.

My Landlord has loads of trees come down during storms then just drags them out the way and leaves them so I expect he'd let me have them cheap or even for a percentage of what I sell. I wouldnt have many overheads like allot do only fuel, rent (that I pay allready) and the wear on the gear but parts for my stuff is cheap so I can afford to buy some any way. I do see lots of people giving loads away on facebook just have to be quick onit is the only thing but then its the travelling to get it does it make it worth doing.

I reckon you could get a decent sized mulcher in and still have plenty of change. Be easier to mark off areas for chip, log, firewood for next time round. Do Joslet not have a forestry mulcher?

Yes I'm named after Steven as I think he passed away not long before I was born my father was called Christopher most called him Paul if you remember him. Sadly non are with us anymore, Bruce been gone for about 10 years and dad 5 this December

They do but only in Dutch or French. My French is okish but wouldnt have enough. I have no Dutch at all so going to the uk might be best option

Can you not do the equivalent European Chainsaw Course in Belgium?

Scott Fraser Training, Ground-up Training, Landskills or Kingswood would be the nearest to the tunnel.

I asked as when I was felling there was a steady supply of surplus for firewood, if you intend to process firewood where would you source it from.

Yes I worked with Bruce when he was with the NT and his late son (who I thought was Steve) when he had a sawmill

When I am cutting/climbing, I can’t think of any part of my body that is less likely to come into contact with the saw than the back of my legs and my feet.
