Guess the Weight?

[difflock]

Going to weigh my, by now "super-dry" 0.5m3 billet bundles.

Got 6 sitting on rails up out of the wet.

So who wants to take a punt on likely weight/weights? therin.

Also going to measure the volume of wood contained within the 0.5m3 billet bundles by water displacment:001_rolleyes:

THEN I WILL KNOW

something, not quite sure what? but hey:lol:

PS

I just ordered a 300kg LoadLink Lite "crane scale", so gotta play with my new toy

see

Crane Scales - Precision Weighing Scales - ScalesOnline.co.uk

 

Now need to find a telehandlr/loader to hand the crane scales from

[Woodworks]

I will have a stab at 220Kg.

Just remember I intended to source a "mid range" moisture meter.

About £50.00 ish

Then I will "know" :001_rolleyes:even more

PPPPS

I really really really, really really really, should be winching trees out of the Moss in this dry weather:blushing:

55kg per bundle

[difflock]

Am now well offended Broonie,

Humph!

[broonie]

oops, fits up Marcus?

[difflock]

6 No. bundles @ 145kg, 150kg, 160kg, 165kg, 185kg and 185kg

Ave 165kg

= 330kg/m3 for split and billeted Lodgepole Pine.

Guessing 20-25% m/c

Still waiting for me moisture meter.

And still need to "dunk" for displaced volume.

Just need a big enough tank.
