  1. Wood is a compacted structure, as you cut, the cut closes as the material at each side of the cut expands.
  2. This is true, except timber is under compression, so as you cut the cut closes behind the cutters.
  3. The dryer the timber the less lubrication and more heat, cutting Ash will soil the chain on a saw, just because of the low moisture content. Cutting some nice green timber may well do the job, it certainly bring a chain up nice and clean after Ash or dead wood, IME.
  4. If only
  5. Do you cut seasoned or unseasoned?
  6. Google is getting a right kicking, they are going to have to get their act together.
  7. I have no idea, but tell myself he didn't, the alternative is just too depressing. It's very difficult to comprehend just how selfish people can be
  8. Be careful, I know someone who as soon as her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, divorced him and took the cash
  9. Having had the misfortune to have to spend a fair bit of time in nursing homes recently, the majority of residents would not be safe on a ship and would not know or benefit from being on one. Its all very sad and a future I will certainly endeavour to avoid. There are things far worse than death, IMO.
  10. I wouldn't bother, see how they have a bucket covering the cutter wheel:sneaky2: I think its one of those where the cutter wheel is more like a road sweeping brush, spinning horizontally rather than vertically.
  11. If I did that I think I'd be living in a cardboard box
  12. As I said in that post, thats life, cause its never wet in the summer is it? I still made good money on the job, it was a 8 day job, so one day is not a big deal. If the job goes well and we finish early I don't reduce the price, a price is a price, I win on as many or more than I lose on, so alls good
  13. A plastic wedge is cheaper and lighter.
  14. Looks like a decent piece of kit, its got stabilising wheels to sort the suspension problem out, Ducker gear is pretty good. I'm starting to tempt myself now
  15. Is that really such a problem? I went to Devon for a Bilkie at the beginning of January.
  16. We are into the nesting season now, so care will be needed to check there are no active nests
  17. How about this? unimog hedge cutter | eBay
  18. Is it being done now or in the summer, could make a difference to some…..
  19. Once the inner skip was sacrificed I wonder how long the concrete would last? I once used this method to line a chimney. I used galvanised spiral tube down the stone flue and filled the gap with vermiculite concrete, the tube did corrode away, but the concrete remained.
  20. Those blue aliens with the tails.
  21. Thats sounds more like a captive fire, than an air burner. Steve Bullman posted pic's of a steel trailer that one of the contractors he worked for uses, it avoided ground damage.
