bouyancy aid Yak Kallista Legacy Bouyancy Aids only the junior comes with leg loops lifejacket Crewsaver Euro 100 Newton Lifejacket

life jacket is to keep person on thier back with head/face out of water to breathe bouyancy aid is to enable person to swim on front or back, is easier on back but will not put the person there automaticly and can still float face down bouyancy aid is easier to swim with

actually they both have legloops and yes it is to stop them riding up and falling out the trick is to do the waist/hips tight and have the loops a little loose so it does'nt hurt the crutch my kids are fine in them

first one is my 10 yr old in bouyancy aid for kayaking, has leg loops onit second one is on my 3 yr old son, is a lifejacket 3rd one is my sons big ears:laugh1:

those bloody hairs get right on my tits, and you cant see them either:thumbdown:

got any pics?????????

hi martin, was good to talk to you today, first chance ive had to read this, cant believe i was the first in 50 to correct, if you need any more help, feel free to contact me

i would go back, collect all the logs and leave. also i would tell him that i have banked the cheque and advise that he stops the cheque, which will cost him money oh , you dont bank the cheque cos that will cost you i dont need customers like that, neither do you his aim is to get the load discounted ( been there done it...3 times, no more) now i would rather remove produce from site

to clear this up...... i fill an exact M3 measure with loosly tipped in firewood, as peter quoted it does not take into account the air as was Pete Bannister's point which i missed (and he missed my quote of me missing that) my measure is a cubic meter of loose tipped firewood, it is also advertised/ described as a loose tipped cubic meter of firewood therefore the customer gets an exact measure of a cubic meter of loose tipped firewood. (usually more, but never less) yes it has air in it, but so would a stacked cubic meter of wood but that is not what it is described as. most of my customers could not tell the difference in species of wood, but there are a few who can, and i have converted some hardened "i'll only burn hardwood" customers over to softwood after they have tried it. can i also point out that not all deciduous trees are hardwood, and not all coniferous trees are softwood. Also some conifers are deciduous and some broadleved trees are evergreen e.g larch and evergreen oak

i see the point now:blushing:

sorry mate, but you cant ( not that i fully understand your statement) quote in bold, i accuratly measure my volume for delivery, not when split fresh, there is no estimation second quote in bold you will most definatly find the wood at the top of the pile is much drier and contains less moisture than the wood in the center of the pile, no matter what the size of the pile is. also if i had to by scales for what ever reason to weigh the wood, then that just pushes up the price of the product for the customer, and i have no available use of a weighbridge. but thanks for your input, its very helpful:thumbup1:

well the question was....does anyone know how to work out the calorific value of firewood??? so far the answer is no!! but many have pointed in the direction of results......thanks:thumbup: how were these results produced is my next dubious question i ask because i am sceptical as there is so many (for want of a better word) old wives tales about wood. i know how many woods burn and how well, but many a person on here will argue with my results without having tried the wood themself, but go on what has been heard, others do try, but then find it hard to persuade others. we need to educate the public and if we arent prepared to find out for ourselves, then how can we educate??

thanks guys for that, but i want to do the tests myself if poss, and encourage others to do the same..... there is too much hearsay and guessing in firewood values

does anyone know how to work out the calorific value of firewood. being fedup of all this rubbish about what burns best at what moisure content and whatever species, i would like to try and work out the calorific value of species of wood for firewood please can we keep this sensible and not argue over what is the best wood:001_rolleyes:

um, no it doesnt!!! i have done several trials with burning softwoods to throw out all these myths on softwood. e.g. cedar....an apparent softwood will out burn willow, an apparent hardwood sooting/tarring of chimneys occurs from wet or high moisture content woods

i am going to guess that you are martin from wood fuel wales, the apparent welsh assembly government funded body set about to become the welsh authority on fuelwoods. if so i am appauled that you are asking these questions on here when you are supposed to be setting the standards for our industry. by the time this thread ends ( and i suggest you use the search facility on this forum to look for other threads along this nature) i hope you will be advising that "dumpy bags" are made in all different shapes, sizes and volumes, so buyer beware!! and seller state volume. i also hope that you do know something of the industry and are not just trying to cover over the excellent work that the recently let go Jos worked hard to achieve. i am one of your members, and recently took a phonecall off you this week, at the same time i could not belive the questions you were asking me, of which i had to correct you in your quotes and terminoligy. please take some friendly advice and contact some of your members, ( you know who the good ones are, Jos did!) are research this properly before we all lose faith in what you are trying to achieve. please feel free to contact me directly if you need help

ash is also in the same family as the olive tree and the wood contains a certain amount of oil which helps the fresh wood to catch easier than others. in my experience fresh ash is no better than any other fresh wood but lime will dry faster than ash

ha, thats funny so was i, went canoe camping on the wye from hereford to ross on wye, we had open fires at camp site, but i was burning my own well seasoned ......... wait for it........ CEDAR.......yes cedar.... and it smelt lovely, with very little smoke and i did take some briquettes from treenergy to show my mates what they burnt like:thumbup:

wher you based then andy?? i'm not far from david and was lucky enough to have a tour of his plant recently, bit on the sneaky side on my part though, but he is quite a nice guy

so what type do you sell then andy??

thanks mate, very helpful what does SPM mean, and what type of machine would treenergy use to make thiers? how many different types are out there, and what is a rough price? have watched many on youtube, including sawdust driers. did you have any success using your heizohack to get fines to use in briquettes?

thats done the rounds on facebook very big hit with us welshies and is hilarious, especially if you know Newport....... which incidently is where previous WTCC have been held and not far from this years location
