  1. There is a secret?????????????? But if its published in a book how can it be a "secret":001_huh:
  2. I'm thinking Alder or Holly?? but need more pic's.
  3. Does not look like Birch to me, any more pic's???
  4. IMO, yes, they appear to be a very sound bunch, I've not had a lot of dealings with them, but the dealings I have had were excellent!!! a very refreshing change to the other lot (named after a colour and a fruit:sneaky2: )
  5. They certainly won't help, IMO TW are good chippers, but they need to be set up spot on, sharp blades, tight anvil, engine at full tilt, etc, they are pretty low power and a small flywheel, there is little room for things to be out before they stop performing well.
  6. Works for me, but its pretty inconclusive IMO, I would still happily use a Laburnum or Yew chopping board or goblet
  7. The reason I ask is that if the revs drop slightly you loose draft, which can lead to blockage, this is sometimes simply the throttle slipping back, also the "no stress" prevents material slowing the flywheel enough to reduce the draft.
  8. I like to count my blessings, I know its a cliché and a bit old fashioned, but when things aren't going well in business the fact I'm fit and well, my wife and children are all healthy and happy are far more important, as has been said money can always be earned, tomorrow is another day, get out grab the world by the throat and make some coin. Last year my mother fell down the stairs, breaking her neck, leaving her pretty much a quadriplegic, sh1t like that certainly puts things in perspective
  9. Is the "no stress" working correctly?
  10. The way I heard it was " life is a shitsandwich but the more bread you have the less you taste the shite ":biggrin:
  11. You eat your chopping board???:001_huh:
  12. Who suggested it was a council tree???
  13. Do you sit in yours, like a bosuns chair????
  14. Why steel rather than Cobra and the like???
  15. You have posted some crap…………………….but this beats all
  16. It's normal the first planting season after the felling.
  17. Because I don't have "guys" on the ground, just my 20 year old son.
  18. Good points, my right arm is pretty shot most days Maybe when all the children are through uni I'll look at changing the way I work, but for now its all about getting done and getting paid.
  19. True, but the idea that we all work in large country dwellings is pretty laughable, as you know, we spend most of our time in tiny back gardens or over 5 gardens and a few house roofs, not to mention, sheds, patios, greenhouses, etc,etc.
  20. I work in the land of terraced houses with tiny yards, we are a tiny island thats massively over populated, they idea of a yank claiming lack of space is hilarious, just look at your trucks
