  1. wrong tree, you would be thinking of crack willow
  2. For felling in the woods particulary for saw logs, you want to minimise the amount of wastage, and the risk of the hinge ripping up into the trunk. Therefore smaller mouth and thinner hinge (generally if it goes wrong in the woods, you get the winch out). However in situations i.e. houses, caravans the bigger hinge is safer.
  3. Got a tasty barbers chair photo for later on i bet it is not as small as this one
  4. mouth too big, hinge too wide, but everything is square and level as it should be, well done.
  5. there is nothing wrong with willow, just store it off the ground and out of the rain, with good air circulation.
  6. every body has there favorate, ask 100 people and you get 100 different answers. The only way you will get an answer is to use them yourself and decide. I like both but for different reasons and different uses. Unhelpfully i have passed the buck back to you.
  7. If the tree died quickly, what ever has killed it will have affected the whole tree. Me thinks that you will have some logs that will smell sweet when they are burned. Time to start looking for a replacement tree. But do not plant it close to the dead one, or it will suffer the same fate. Any ideas what has killed it ?
  8. there will definatley be somewhere nearby where you will be able to help yourself (black thorn is everywhere). Mature trees in pots or bags do not come cheap
  9. If you want your pully to stay in the same place, attach a prussic to the rope on each side of the pully. By the time you get to the crusial pieces lower down, you will have worked out where the pully needs to be. What ever you do will involve a high degree of faffing, good luck and may the force be with you.
  10. I have tried (unsuccessfully) to get free copies of the NVC. If you want it you will have to buy it. Or do as i do go to to the local wildlife trust and consult them.
  11. When scratching you head with the tractor manual, and it says on the right hand side, is that looking from the front or the back?
  12. 50%, closer to %80. It now lying next to the laylandii
  13. Stunt fells on Friday. Two large laylandii, and a missing static caravan. I only had to cut every thing up, the owner and his merry band of flunkies did the rest.
  14. Oh for a workshop, equipment and the knowledge to be able to carry out major re-construction. Nice work by the way.
  15. If it was not for the smell, there should be at least one double entendre/ Finbar Saunders post with this thread. But as there are so repellent, nahhh
  16. how much longer do you think you would have been without the big machines ?
  17. Hit the effected part as hard as you can stand. It gives the muscle something else to worry about, other than clenching up.
  18. As usual i have got it wrong. I followed the link from the first post which leads you to the TECH-TACH TT-700, not the TECH-TACH TT-20k. The 700 reads: Reads engine speeds up to 10,000 RPM with accuracy of +/-1 RPM. Confusion and me always goes hand in hand
  19. I am hoping to go down the lantra/ nptc training and assessing route when i am old and decrepit, but poking around in nooks and cranies looking for bats does sound quite appealing.
  20. £8-£12 around here depending on experience. The acid test is weather they can stay ahead of the the digger when cutting tracks.
  21. Looks to me like a good set up.
  22. hi there James, popular makes very good kindling. :thumbup: You definatly need to change from ton boxs to m3 boxs on your website, or you will have the happy chappies from trading standards a calling.
  23. End of June to middle of july, when silver leaf is mostly dormant.
  24. I can not argue with that. But following the link, the blurb says the tachometer go up to 10,000 rpm. I just says what i see.
