how funny would it be to do one for the funniest bramble name ever... Rubus cockburnianus
-
well done huck. that was a photo from directly straight down over the trees, a view we never see. photos taken with a Canon HF100 camcorder too heres some more photos, all form Monmouth to Raglan to Chainbridge (Wales) if you get the chance then it well worth doing
-
nope. its normal focus on a normal camera lens with natural colour
-
took pics today whilst out and about, do you.................... a) know what it is b) where it was taken
-
oooohhh are'nt you the opinionated one!!! what i was gettin at was, if it was never built how can we know what wood it was made of. i too have my own opinion about religion, but wont say on here as past threads and posts have caused quite a bit of upset to the point of threats and legal action
-
yep worked that one out too!
-
gopher wood or kopher wood is any wood covered in pitch or bitumen, it is thought cedar wood, because of the area, but sandalwood was also a thought, but this is mainly found south of the equator. is there any hard evidence to support what wood or even that it was built???
-
actually, in my unfortunate case (and i wont say what) the fire brigade turned up with mewp, paramedic in basket to rescue me. Fortunately for them i was still concious and had to instruct them how to rescue me by getting the weight off my rope and krabs to get me down in the mewp. 3 qualified climbers on ground unable to rescue me. when the sh** hits the fan,.....dial 999

real wood............................not the laminate stuff
-
oh the others are blurred because of water on the lens... i know to wipe it first when in the water. (ran out of edit time on previous post) these are still in the case and are quite good oh, video records sound when in the case too

yeah its good cant get hardwood at the mo down here, so am buying in artic loads of the stuff my theory....if i cant get hardwood then get the better softwood best if only burnt in a stove there is another thread on this in the firewood forum
-
the wood ones mainly, but any i suppose apparently there are paper ones too
-
shot them with the wrong tool there monkeyd!!! get rid of them before they end up like the squirrels
-
does anyone on here deal with briquettes, bought in to re-sell or even burnt any in your stoves. intrested to hear what you think of them
-
i think its all about your market. tesco sell imported for £2, i sold some stuff from a woodland i monmouth for £4.5 and people always went for the tesco stuff as it was cheaper. went to a mates bbq and took the British stuff and what a difference when the 2 were compared. ours is great good luck on the oil barrel way, was'nt my cup of tea the preference for me on the firewood was..... you cut the wood and season it for a bit (firewood) then chuck in a kiln, burn it, sieve it, bag it, then its charcoal!!!! i took the less work more profit route IMO. good luck though, you sound like a man with a plan there

being happy, time with kids, enjoyable weekends, enough money in bank to cover emergencies without being lavish. thats my success ( got 2 sons, thats my real success) and not living my life to other peoples standards and expectations, get up for work when i want, go home when i want, play when i want what other reason would be self employed for?????

bob, gettin £50 m3 fresh and £60 seasoned until august when it will all go up by £5, all is tipped as dont want to spent time in filling 1 ton bags which then costs in loss of production i though we covered in a previous thread that 1 ton bags varie greatly in size dependant on manufacturer/company used or seconds. i know the ones i've used in the past have, some even stretch "seasoned" i've seen as classed as 3 months as that is one season e.g spring or felled and stacked for one year then split day of delivery to quote dean, just sell it by m/c............... it'll be lower than certainly wood when air dried over the summer i've seen c/w's bags and they are tall but "look" thinner than 1 tonners
-
just be aware guys, the more blade surface area you have e.g. 2,4,6,8 way blades, then the more power (tons) you need to push the wood through
-
bob you're too cheap mate. its hard work and you need a good reward unless by builders bag you mean a rubble sack and then good on you mate
-
i,ve had customers tell me they are paying upto £120 for a m3 off them kiln dried to 25%....... surely that is air dried m/c i thought kiln dried was 10-15%
-
oh how funny would that be driving down the M4 in wales now that the police dont patrol it
-
yep had that too!!!! local forester said it was the waste, and had no cord lengths to sell. carried on buying it until it started to come in unsplit, and at that point we managed to match up some logs and found they lined up to a nice long length (we had time on our hands). i stopped , and have since ordered in Larch. other compaies on the web are selling it and its better than nothing
-
Mark, get some one in with a lucas mill or any mill and plank it. is there any blue stain?
-
yep!!! biggest wood i've had:laugh:
