  1. I have no idea, but they are big and shiny therefore expensive
  2. You will be on about one of these: POSCH Leibnitz - Woodspliter, Circular Saws, Cut Splitters
  3. I would like to read an article in 20-30 years time about how mans impact in this area has now all but dissapeared, and how the forest has regenerated. However given some of the natural disasters such as Mount St Helens where billions of trees were lost to pyroclastic flows, nature has a canny knack of bouncing back.
  4. Combine corn beef with mash potato, and season to taste. Either wrap in pastry, or put in pie dish and cover with pastry. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes till the pastry is cooked. Enjoy with mushy peas and gravy.
  5. Which one ? proper home made with salt beef or using corned beef out of a tin (you know its sooo wrong, but it tastes so good)
  6. Use the chainsaw to score a line around the tree level with the mouth. This will act as you guide when cutting the back cut.
  7. Mid wales and the Marches assessment centre cover your area.
  8. Come to Pembrokeshire, apart from Manorbier, you can always find some space with little in the way of hassle.
  9. I like the first of the felling pics, with the snow being left in mid air, and the slightly blurred branch tips. I can not believe that it is -16c with you, it was 10c here today.
  10. Rule of thumb using your thumb and a hammer
  11. G & M tools are very good, and sell union graduate lathes at very reasonable prices. Graduate lathes are big and heavy, which is what you need. G & M Tools UK. Huge stock of used lathes and machine tools for engineers and cabinet makers shipped worldwide--
  12. What ever it is, it is very slow growing. The annual growth rings left by each years terminal bud are very close together.
  13. No, i gave it to a friend for his 40th. However, i have spied some more burs in the woods were we are felling at the moment, including an ash bur that looks to be about 3' across. If you are interested i will post pics when i get them out of the wood.
  14. The fast trac looks very lonely, not a tree in site. What were you winching ?
  15. Maybe it is leprechauns getting too excited whilst burying there gold.
  16. Should have had a rope on it !!
  17. i'm intreaged as well, go on show me yours and i will be your friend
  18. When you say 'brew', do you mean the northern vernacular for a nice cup of tea, or are you referring to the southern softie 'brew', a can of special brew. :lol:
  19. What is Juniper like to carve, and does it smell of gin ?
  20. If the alder is on the ground and in the round, it will start to rot within a year. If it is split and stackedoff the ground, it should last a couple of years without rotting. However if you keep it submerged under water, it should keep in indefinatley.
  21. Harsh but fair
  22. It looks like an interesting project, and you might even get an useful piece of machinery to boot !
  23. There be an accident waiting to happen. If you are doing it for yourself in a non-employed/ self employed mannor, you can do what the hell you want. Bye bye fingers /toes, hello A & E
  24. When mine broke, i was only able to get the lead complete, so all i had to do plug it into the coil and spark plug. I would say that the boot should go over the HT lead as it is rubber and will stretch, and then it just plugs into the coil. But then again maybe not ! Keep fidderling with it and you will work it out.
  25. So would the dumpy bag be hanging behind you whilst you were filling it ?
