Not your fault not sure what was going on with phones.  I really appreciate you getting me the ticket.

 

Maybe too many people for a usually very quiet area that the local masts could not cope.  It was a nice day though, and I also had some good chats about woody subjects.

 

 For anyone who is thinking of getting into milling it would have been great - all the main players were there (except Lucas and Peterson swing mills) and they mainly all had several mills set up to demo.  I think Woodmizer for instance had at least four of their mills set up.  I did wonder how much this beast from Meber cost.  

Yes I was looking forward to seeing a Lucas v Peterson shootout.  Fuelwood said that they cannot import any Lucas 'Mills at the moment  but were not sure of the reason.

I think that if Caleb from Clarkson's Farm had been there and seen the machines like the ones in William127's photos above he would have said " They're too effing big!"

Will be there throughout.  On the Exeter Charcoal Retort stand with our Dartmoor Dragon retort. Only ever been as a punter so will be interesting to see it from the other side so to speak 

What a great show and such camaraderie with other exhibitors. Wish we had camped on site as well to soak up more of the fun

 

Thanks to all who came up and had a chat and look at the retort. We were very busy for all 3 days so couldn't have asked for more. Got to chat will lots of Arbtalker's and it was nice to put some faces to names

I think it was on the DJB stand? there was a lot of Brian James trailers, also there was another make of trailer, I'd not heard of before, an Irish manufacturer, I think. 

Did anyone happen to get the name of them?

Good catching up with people and buying a hangover.

 

Shame the greasy-haired thieving bastards turned up and polluted the atmosphere a bit.

 

Some immense kit there.

That grapple saw rig was ludicrous!

[Rich Rule]

The aforementioned Grapple Saw Rig.

I thought so too.

Then I found out the Stihl Hex files are £7 each and reconsidered it!
