I have a stumpmaster grinder, will set up some scaffolding and will see how good I am with it grinding along the gap. Might frame either side of it so the grinder is guided to work without hitting the concrete. Then maybe some bar and axe time, will see.

 

Im looking at making another wheel for the grinder that runs greenteeth in line with the wheel so a very narrow cut.

 

Was asking how good those terrasaw blades are, as my grinder have one fitted, but no replys yet

I bought a Terra saw blade a couple of years ago for working against walls and for chopping roots with a lot of stone around. They are ok, just turn round the blade when it runs out of cutting edge, they are "self sharpening" which appears to work. if you don't clear enough muck from the work area then the blade does tend to drag it into the guard. I went through a couple of belts like that. if you hit a bit of metal such as nails then the blade does cope well. I have cut stumps growing out of walls, after I have reached the safe limit with the stump grinder, and trimmed it back, not quite flush with the wall but enough to tidy it up before drilling and poisoning it.

That is such a great idea with the wooden wheels, well done!

 

My grinder needs to be a bit narrower for this one. Ledge is about 350mm wide with the stumps in a 100mm gap and 2m up a wall. and there are at least 7 of them to grind.

 

the pen gives an idea of scale, the electrical cable is the icing on the cake for this one!

I've not long done one like this, a laurel, using the combination of a sharp mattock (bought in U.K not sold here) and metal wedges to split it apart.

Hard work but taken steady quite fun all the same.

A break from radio control grinding.
