  1. I got lost in the first sentance..............
  2. We have a large quantity of alder in Pembrokeshire for sale Anybody interested ?
  3. It take me about an hour to cut 4 cubic meters to size for our splitter.Then 2 hours to split and stack. i have no idea what the weight is.
  4. Toothpaste. apply a small amout to each lens, and polish off with a soft tissue until the lens is clear. the toothpaste leaves a film that stops your glasses from steaming up It does work
  5. Shame there not called touch a local. It would provide us with much more amusement.
  6. All right it might have a couple of teany tiny things wrong with it......... ! :thumbup:
  7. It is the same with anything these days. if you are awear of the risks you can ensure that you do not put yourself in a position where it becomes a problem. However it is always the unexpected that causes the problems, like a wasp sting on the neck.............. Buttocks i have just fallen out of the tree
  8. It's not often that you get Crib goch to yourself
  9. I would not fancy using a tirfor to drag the logs 50 meters, it will take hours. And you will loose half of you body weight in sweat. I would see if a local farmer can hoik it out with his tractor. The logs will also be alot less dirty, and the saw mill wont worry about stones in the bark
  10. Leave the poor thing alone, there's nothing wrong with it !
  11. ~You have to play by their rules. The six weeks start when it appears on their system. However they have to complete within eight weeks to comply current legislation, or you can complain.
  12. We have been talking about this today, and i still can not think why it does dry quicker.
  13. I thought that you could not claim for clothing unless it is PPE ?
  14. The last time that i sprayed around young trees i got 15 pence per tree, and they provided the herbicide. Good work started at first light got to listen to the dawn chorus. If you are work in a remote area you will need a 4x4 and a trailer that can carry a couple of hundred liters of water. Once you get your eye in so to speak you can spray around the tree faster than you can walk past it.
  15. Thems is some gert lumps of wood flying through the air
  16. This is the lever I bought; eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace I would ask the seller, it says on the page 'feel free to ask any question' I would do that, particularly as you are going to need a new one
  17. I have been using a Thor 12 ton hydraulic for the past 3 years. It has never let me down, and the only maintainance it needs is a regular grease. I have modified it so that it can be used one handed, handy when splitting 40" lenghts. We are using a nuffield 10/60 to power it, which is fine, but we have borrowed a 100 horse power tractor which makes the splitter unstopable. This is good for knotty wood as the splitter will cut the knots that do not split. It also has a hammer action if you want to send the pieces into the next county !
  18. I might not know much but that is definitely not an oak leaf ! Hope that helps
  19. Whilst we are on the subject, i am after a 3-4 ton winch
  20. If you can get through to somebody to get an engineer out, i will eat my chain saw trousers. It is cheaper to break the line and get and get it fixed. Just make sure that every body who will be affected knows that the phone will not be working. Then you can have fun playing who can bounce the biggest piece off the line without breaking it. You will be amazed how much abuse a BT line will take !
  21. Size also matters. If you catch the tip of the chain on a bar bigger than 18", by the time it gets to the saw and clog it, it is already cutting into your leg. Ye haa, feel the pain......
  22. AH HAAAAAAA (In an Alan Partidge voice) You mean something like this Topiary Arts
