I thought i'd have a shot at designing a forestry website myself, but can't seem to find any free templates with the right theme. Most likely I'm just not searching correctly, but has anyone got any recommendations?
-
Groundsman with saws and truck available a few days per week, CS30 / 31, hand cutting especially sought
-
As above, anything considered, very keen to find work -
I agree, though with one slight difference- it's the country we live in....

Hi, yes i have briefly used the Haddon Lumbermaker, and also a copy of that made in the UK- they can work fairly well, depending on if there is any slack in the bar clamp rod, and other manufacturing accuracy. The Haddon we used on a few sections of oak, and I was surprised at the accuracy of the cuts. Get the Yank one if you can, it's possibly worth the extra money
-
I agree, I had fairly late (20's) onset of asthma, had hay fever come on strong at a similar age and a combo of the two can be a bit of a problem. See a doctor and make sure you know what needs dealing with, I reckon?
-
Ditto, I have two pairs
-
The other half has about 20 horses, more saddles than i can keep track of and horse jackets by the dozen. If i buy another saw (as in, a total of 3 or 4 in all), it's "why do you need another one??" Best policy is, just buy Pfanners and say nothing till the credit card bill comes up
-
I have had over half a dozen of the later Surfs, if you get an SSRG spec Gen 3 for under or around 2K (they are out there), you won't get a better, smoother or punchier 3 litre 5 door 4x4, full stop- for that money. They really are superb; last one we had summer just past, got us back to Kent from Sidmouth on about £40 ish. Not bad, for Land Cruiser quality
-
I used a Husqvarna SG13 pedestrian machine today, hired to bust out 4 connys up to 18", and a 15" apple stump, it coped admirably and all done and dusted in a sensible time frame. Nothing wrong with low brake horse machines, if the teeth are sharp. If you only do a few stumps a month, why have a pricey machine sitting in the workshop gathering dust?
-
Own saws and 4x4 pickup, will travel within reason but no London work thanks
-
The doors are ajar on my polytunnel, but seldom wide open- I find the heat intensity dries the logs fine, with minimal condensation. If you don't have the time to faff around with conventional kilns, they are an excellent option, i reckon
-
Hi, so somebody has been busy counting then- you'll probably need to post a bit more detail, your location etc., and doubtless there will be some interest
-
In fact PM me if you want any specific suggestions, if i ever get the time I'm trying to get a book together based on trying to keep in good nick mentally and physically in middle age. You need to keep your diet good and don't ignore the idea of taking vits as somebody else has just suggested.
-
I agree with this, 100%- anybody suggesting more exercise to a tree surgeon to deal with depression and he's probably thinking "are you bloody mad??", but often i go running (ideally on rural bridleways etc), after work, and it's a totally different thing to work related exertion. They reckon cold water swimming works fantastically well too, endorphin effects and so on wipe the floor with depressive states. I'm convinced the right type of exercise could potentially help the vast majority of cases, though to be realistic there is a difference between "help" and "cure". I've had a few bad states of the blues in the past and i wish somebody had suggested a natural fix then. You'll get through it
-
I have seen an ad seeking the return of the dog today, I can't recall which publication. Dog theft is reaching ridiculous levels in Kent especially, they are stealing just about any smaller or medium breed, working dogs or otherwise. Terribly sad, the pond life who nick them can't really go much lower
-
Opposite the entrance of the yard we used to rent, a rotten limb of willow about 8 inches thick (so not huge exactly)had fallen in the road, large enough to cause a major obstruction on a busy high speed b road, but easy enough to clear with a chainsaw in 5 minutes. I thought I'd call the Highways Agency just to be legit, and said i have a chainsaw ticket and insurance, "would you like me to clear it- I'm not after money, but there is going to be an accident if I don't?" the repsonse was, no don't worry we will send someone to clear it asap. About a day and a half later...a bloke in a HA van with a bow saw turned up. No traffic cones or signs, naff all else. Official procedure transcends common sense yet again
-
3 competitors within 20 miles...?Try multiplying that by at least 10 and you might be getting close to what there is locally to me. The (Kent) Wealden free magazine has about 20 log adverts weekly, alone. That's without random farmers, smallholders and woodland owners etc., new signs every other day at the roadside. Competiton is seriously strong
-
Yes, you are quite right- I'm ordering some new, as per the ebay link earlier in the thread.
-
Harvester wanted to cut 500T near Battle
Acer Forestry replied to Dave177's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I'm not 100%, but i think the OP is South East Forestry -
I'm a great believer in recycling, enough goes into landfill as it is. Also around here everybody sells logs so if you are not competitive on the price, you won't shift much...
-
Try shaving at night and rub olive oil in (so you don't look too greasy) after, a lot of chemical based stuff just aggravates razor burn. If you want to be fancy put a few drops of proper sandalwood oil in and mix it
-
Seriously though, if I can arrange to have anyone coming down this way to drop some off, we can take some. Don't need loads at present, but can defo take some
-
Lol "and our kiln dried premium firewood comes in top quality bags" if the bags are 170, the logs must be about 5 grand or so
-
Yeah i know Jonn? Sold him some logs a few weeks back,but he's run out?
