Possibly Phaeolus schweinitzii, mostly found on softwoods but can affect hardwoods

I chip any slabs that are 8" or less, stack the larger ones with a 2" sticker between layers and process after 6 months into firewood for myself and also for a local mobile sauna company (they want small length, and anything from kindling size to decent log size) If using a processor there will be a huge variation in size. For my own fire I process without the knife and if there's anything too chunky it gets a tap with the axe when filling a basket for the house from the woodshed. Only mill larch, Cedar and Douglas at the mill and it all burns well in a 12kw stove

The echo dsc2500 seems so over looked in favour of this things, get the battery echo which is way more capable. By far the best saw I have ever bought.

Not ear wounds. Over 20 years of deer control and culling I have taken 2 headshots for welfare reasons, the one quoted was a bag of bones I spotted with a severe limp and stalked up to just under 80m iirc, she had laid down in a hollow and there was a barbed topped wire fence between us. I could have walked around 4-600m to get a better shot but I would have been winded by her or I might have bumped another deer on the way, I dialled in for 80 or whatever the rangefinder said and as there was an inch of crown showing I thought that it was on. Unfortunately the shot went right of the aim point, possibly it touched a grass stalk, and put a neat hole through her lug, and the only blood was a splash where she was and no trace along the trail she ran. I got her in exactly the same place a few days later in the same circumstances but this time I dropped her and that's how I knew I'd hit her lug, her teeth were worn flat to the gums/jawbone and was literally a bag of bones and wasn't lardered just left out for hoodies etc close to a high seat to entice a fox onto it. I've shot hoodies out beyond 200 and punched paper at Bisley and other ranges out to 500, at 100 I'm happy to say I will cloverleaf using my home loads and BT's. Finally I'm not au fait with American white tail deer but I do know my shot placement on Roe, fallow and red.

Can anyone recommend a manual tyre changing tool for small tyres?
Macpherson replied to Muddy42's topic in Maintenance help
Or if you were really stuck you could do this, but proper tyre lube makes it easier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWd5vwUeYno -

OK, lighting blue touchpaper and retiring: I went into a local branch of my regular suppliers, and asked for 5l of Synth plus. They only had Forest Plus in 5l. Was I right to walk out without purchasing any? It's not urgent, I just happened to be passing. I subscribe to the doctrine of " if it ain't broke, don't fix it ", and Synth Plus has worked well for me. Sorry for re-igniting the debate.

A digger suitable for site clearing and housebuilding digger.
AHPP replied to difflock's topic in Large equipment
Muddy and Mick (and indeed several other people now I re-read) are onto something I think. Have an expert do the precision work and buy a backhoe for the rest of it? Or do it all with the backhoe if you have the patience. Forget bog work obviously. -

Pezzolato PTH 700 biomass wood chipper PTH 700 is one of the medium power Pezzolato machines. The design of the conical hopper (without bottlenecks that tend to trap the material), combined with a catenary system able to move the material directly to the drum, allows feeding of bulk material. The large fan mounted directly on the drum shaft is able to work at a low speed to help reduce dust and increase wood chip quality. Each standard installation includes a single axis trailer which provides compactness and increases agility and manoeuvrability in tight spaces. The wear parts of all machines are cost effective and simple to replace in short maintenance times. The drum with cutting system interchangeable where required, makes these chippers ideal for the production of wood chips used with domestic boilers, large power plants or gasifiers. The integrated computer suggests any ordinary and extraordinary maintenance operations to be performed according to the manufacturer’s maintenance. Diesel engine power: 200/149 - 413/308hp/kW Max chipping diameter soft wood: 500mm / 19.69'' Max chipping diameter hard wood: 640 x 600mm / 25.20 x 23.62'' Knives: 3 Hourly throughput: until 80m³/h Drum diameter: 660mm / 25.98'' Drum width: 640 mm / 25.20'' Hooked steel feeding conveyor width: 640mm / 25.20'' Hooked steel feeding conveyor length: 2200mm / 7' 2.61'' Weight: 8,200kg / 18,078lbs£98,000

Alright all. I'm pretty new to carving, over the past few years I've done a handful of pieces mainly just because I like doing it. I've never really tried to sell my work but I would like to start. I've not invested loads of money in it, still just playing with a stock bar and die grinder with a couple of different burrs but it'd be nice to recover some of my fuel costs if poss. My question is, those of you who do sell your work, how and where do you do it? Is it better to carve up things in advance on the hope people might buy them or do you mainly get commissions? I've stuck on some photos to give you an idea of where I'm at with it. Thanks in advance. WhatsApp Vidéo 2025-09-01 à 13.29.23_6efc7c2a.mp4

How are you all getting these slabs to dry flat? I don't even bother slabbing now because anything that has the pith in turns into an Escher painting after a few months on the stack.

Hi Dan It does make a difference, that's why we asked. We are trying to only post on a Friday, with whatever we are promoting on our socials and emails. I do notice that when we update the classifieds, they all pop up in the unread posts. As these run out after 2 weeks, I've started to try to spread them out so it's not too much at once. I can't control this as it's an Arbtalk thing. Pricing-wise, we should always be cheaper as we are only there to move on end-of-line products or out-of-packaging products. We will have a think and discussion on how to be more engaging in our content - any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your feedback, it is valuable to us as it should be for any business.

I would think the oil bath air filter would be a no no due to you needing to use the grinder on slopes etc. Have a look at the Chinese Honda copies for a replacement (Lifan etc). About half the price, electric start versions available. Obviously check crankshaft length/diameter before ordering. The foam sleeve that goes over the paper air filter element is an important part of the set up if working in dusty environment. It needs to be dipped in clean oil and squeezed out at regular intervals after washing out in petrol to catch any dust etc. before reaching the paper filter.
