Pic's??

Not all fire woods, beech, ash, sycamore etc are easy to dry and stay dry once dried, hence there reputation as good fire woods.

Is that a local veg???????

Bean on toast again for us.

Ash will straight from the tree, but it will tar up you flue. Dry it correctly and it will burn hotter for longer and not tar your flue.

Was there no chain catcher on the saw?????

Seeking advice on pulling tree with tractor...

To prevent the "lift" you can redirect using a sling and pulley attached to a suitable tree, if there is on available. -

Yes, but will require far less pull. I personally prefer the rope nice and high, but I usually set it from the ground, this is normally done by throw line over desired point on tree, then attaching with a timber hitch within reach of the ground. This "fishing rod" method is much less likely to snap the top out. -
Your arrogance is staggering

If your happy in C's and don't find they cause you problems, why change?????

Me too, in fact I found it on youtube and posted here without watching it, because I remember how awful it is.

Tree work can go very, very wrong Great care is needed. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUIGBS7B7WY]Compound fracture from tree cutting accident - YouTube[/ame]

True, but people were saying "they look like", so they clearly thought the pic's were of two different trees.
-
Once your saw is stuck, you should know where the tension is, so you can make a second set of cuts above or below the cuts with the stuck saw, without getting this saw stuck. Could be worth having a third saw ready, just incase
-
Very well put!!!!!
-
People keep saying "trees", its one tree, just two pic's, one winter, one summer.

Good stuff Peter, very nicely done!!!!!!

Yes, but not if you put a gob and back cut in near your hand
-
:congrats:

Sorry but that makes no sense, the longer a lever the more force it has, so the more tree above the cut the greater the "force/stress". The advantage to cutting lower is that there is no chance of the timber splitting below the cut, as is possible with a higher cut.

Problem with stove - help please!
skyhuck replied to Bald Monkey's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Try to note the wind direction when the problem occurs, that could be key to sorting it. -

The wind (when in some directions) could be hitting the taller buildings, rolling back and down your chimney. -

Sounds to me like a chimney problem, that only occurs when the wind is in a certain direction. Are there trees near the chimney or a building, or is the chimney lower than the roof ridge???
