Exceptional Photos mate! Certainly some of the best I have ever seen!
-
Top job that man! Excellent Video Dave!

We use their loppers and secaturs,good value for money.Their Secaturs last longer than the Sandvik ones we used and don't hurt the pocket so much when I lose them. Their Loppers with the Blade that cuts to an Anvil are very good,the model with the bi pass blade like some Secaturs are not really Contractor quality in my experiance.

Nice one mate! Looks very tidy.

Welcome to the Forum mate!

Rate them highly. Can't pick the difference from Saturns product to the original Jensen ones.

Well done Steve,not seen many Willow's that big!

I made a similar "sculpture" this morning.Although smaller it would not have needed a Fence to keep people away from it.

Also the grouser bars on tracked machines sink into Poplar Decks a little bit,makes a Dozer or Digger a little bit more stable on a Truck after its chained down. People back home have made decks and out buildings from Poplar for an age.It seems as though if its off the ground or inside cladding it does ok.

Saw lacking power - Maintainance tip
Mike Hill replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in Maintenance help
I drilled a hole in the flat peice of Steel between the two bolts.I think it was 8mm in dia.The hole is pretty much inline with the exhaust port. -
Prop the Tip body up with some Timbers before you start working on that problem mate!

I have no idea about this but...... Since the Wood has been in Salt water,when the water evaporates would it leave the Salt behind?Since the Salt has gone from Saline solution to solid form,could it,if it is left behind be the cause of the Cracking? If after milling,you immursed the slabs in Fresh water and heated it,do you think that the timber might expand enough to transport the salt out? Totally hypothetical.

STUNT FELL!l Saving time ain't a Crime!

Interesting job mate! Am eager to see the pics of the Timber once its Milled!

Civilian.Police are Civilians just like you and me.They are tried in Civilian courts,these days there are two rules. Shot in the guts by an incompetant idiot and the idiot gets a fine.

Nice looking splitter! Did you make it?

Unspeakably Stupid. The UK Police instructor had failed his safety test,he loads a live round into a .44 Magnum Revolver in a class room,points it at a student and pulls the Trigger. He gets off with a fine,because he is a Policeman.You or me try that one in court. Police force fined £40,000 for shooting 'disaster' - Crime, UK - The Independent

I have seen the effects of "I will fell any Tree for firewood" advertisments. One guy in town place an ad stating the above in a couple of local papers,the phone went dead.Anyone who saw the ad or heard about it suddenly thought the resource was worth more than the service. We dropped off about 25 Ton of Spruce logs to the guy to keep him quiet. Now our waste is profitable to him,he tits about on a sickness benefit and we don't have to pay to dump crappy timber.

Position Filled.Thanks guys!

Looks good mate! I would forget the pressure washer and peel the Bark off with Axes and Crow Bars.The Silt and Sand has had 15 years to get into the Bark,I don't think the Pressure washer will shift it mate.

They are just linked together. The Batteries were tested before they were installed.I checked the voltage going into the Batteries when charging. I think it might be the 20year old cable joining them together...
-
Thanks for the Replies. I will reinstall the Battery thats on charge now and try it with the first Battery's negitive lead disconnected. Both Batteries were receiving the correct amps when I checked them after replacing the Batteries.So the only un replaced part of the circuit are the Cables..... I will have a look at the Cells,but I am pretty sure that they are sealed units.
