Pipe has been shortened but a 12oz does not fit well in 38mm pipe, it really wants to be the less common 42mm pipe. Instead I'm 3d printing the tube. Looking at a tree tomorrow and hopefully suitable to test it out. hmm?

Just like an unusually healthy, well-grown, dense, hawthorn hedge should do ! AND even better for nesting birds, small mamals and invertebrates. ALSO, highly resistant to straying livestock, humans and out-of-control cars, etc -I can report a Land-rover Discovery was impaled up on my (layed) roadside hedge, and was unable to get out, until my neighbour arrived with his chainsaw and massacred the hedge ! 🤨

Bastards got it wrong and had me second guessing myself all day.

A bastardisation of a 50 cent hip hop album called get rich or die trying. Ran through an AI song generator in a 50/60’soul style. Sounds amazing and makes you realise that 50 cent was actually quite the wordsmith.
-
Probably not actually a good thing, AI replicating art and doing it better than a human. BUT I feel bad liking this. AI was used to create an album from 50 cent in a 50’s soul style. Same lyrics and songs. Apparently it took about a minute to create and another minute to produce the video. Holy smokes, it sounds fantastic until you realise it’s AI.

Here, they will give you a clean beer glass, but soft drinks from a can or bottle you can keep it - suspect it is the danger of everyone getting monkey pox

Same the world over though, young and keen can get the job done through energy alone, age and slowing down but years of experience can get the job done just as quick - all physical professions really - but there is a point in them all where the body has slowed down too much to make you - was going to say 'profitable' for want of a better word... but that point is different for us all.

Well, having run timbercub 150s for a few years I would like to move on to something newer for a few reasons, my chipper engine is sweet but the under carriage is a little crusty, the ability for the machine to pull in material is less capable than say the 230 and the forst and Jensen's I have used. Furthermore the bearing arrangement on the flywheel I find very tedious to change and the bearings imo are to small form the application. The 150 does the job good enough but 230 or a forst will do the trick but I have seen a greenmech arbtrak for sale. I have no experience of green mechs, are they in the same league as the other machines ?

Yes very true. He even seems an elder statesman of politics now. Apparently he has quite a strong influence over the current Labour Party.

Mick, frequently torn between cancelling a day and having this on a t-shirt.

I was going to say I haven't had one of these completely stripped down but pullers are generally your friend pulling any bits apart but the ball joint splitters look good.

Stihl MSA200c battery charging issue after inactivity.

Thanks Mark. It would be good to see what you can find out. -
We adapted one of our home-made post punners, adding a return bracket, to stop half-round posts from twisting, while being driven. Quite good for holding any type of post though. Cost: just half an hour, with a stick welder!
-
Thanks. The 300's should provide full power. If its anything like the Stihl MSA 300 it will only hit about 5,000 RPMs with a standard battery.

Then give it a go, with the option to change your mind (without any penalty, either way) in say, 18 months time? Anticipate one or more break-ins and don't leave any power tools/valuables there overnight -it looks less secure than a cardboard box.. I think Mick's right, it does seem a high monthly rental cost -but then I'd imagine renting a couple of old back-street shipping containers might cost €400 a month, anyway ? We just bought three of them, including an office unit, 'temporarily' rather than rent them.. and that was 2 decades ago; they're still in daily use!

Just dropped my 2nd truck off for them to convert, highly recommended and not too far for you compared to a lot of firms. They’re also 10 mins from a train station, easy return journey and pick up. Don't be fooled by prices thrown about online/facebook either, half the time it’s false economy as they use cheap thin metal for the subframe, cheap hydraulics, lots of “extras” etc.

Goat willows do sometimes grow some surprisingly large burrs -like this small one. Keep an eye on it for a couple of years, if you know any wood turners/carvers, they love them !

Bulk Arb Waste wanted - can collect but how to find
Woodwanter replied to Woodwanter's topic in Firewood forum
costs for everyone have shot up. I will probably close down the yards here soon, the cost to run a loader and then time to load artics with chip just isn’t worth it. I know when I do that a lot of local lads will be frustrated as there aren’t many places where they can tip day and night around here. -
Thanks
