  1. Reg is already banned, so if you ban him as well that will be two negatives. If i rememmber rightly from school 'two negatives make a positive'
  2. Sure that you have not just coughed a grollie ?
  3. I have used the double winch method, it also means that you do not have to go slogging back up the hill dragging the winch cable, the winch does that for you.
  4. Use a drag line attached to the trunk to be winched down. The drag line goes from the trunk up to a pulley and then back down to the bottom. You can either tie on a smaller log to counter balance it, or run it through a friction device. Or find someone with a double winch, and use the break on one to slow the other
  5. I will be there with a barrel of cider, and i can not decide between Riches or Burrow Hill. Jon maybe we should oragnise a 'cider off'
  6. Is there any extra wear on the sliders with the chain ?
  7. Based on just the bark, Pyrus.
  8. I know that Credland has loads of larch from Hean Castle estates, and they are not far from you.
  9. Good looking tractor.
  10. Grab all you can can at that price.
  11. Do you mean already split ?
  12. No idea how good they are, but seam reasonable. Charcoal Kilns | Traditional Woodland Craft | Woodsmith Experience | Woodsmith Experience. For specialist, handmade, woodworking tools.
  13. It flies, can not rate it highly enough
  14. Why do you feel it needs a heavy prune ?
  15. That nice straight grained knot free birch was not much of a test, bring on the knotty elm.
  16. Playing dare with bangers and wasps nests.......... It never ended well
  17. Arnt most of the carlton chains 35º ?
  18. I love bees, but not when you discover a nest at face level at 12" distance. They were our native black bees as well.
  19. hold your arm at 45 degrees, walk back until the top of the tree is visable by your fingertips, add a couple of feet, and that will be where the tree will fall. (Unless you mess up the hinge)
  20. It that time of year to send in your entries if you are intrested. This year it will be at the Doldowlod estate (middle of Wales), and as it is the 25 annaiversary it is going to held over two days with camping. Plus there is going to be a veteran chainsaw section (older than twenty five years). If you are interested ring: Bethan Davies on 01982 554411
  21. I am tempted to go for Italian alder, or at a long long shot some sort of sorbus
  22. What goes on between a man and his saw in the woods, stays in the woods.
  23. Just bought the cs450, will review it once i have given it a good spanking.
  24. Nice setup. Are you able to pick up the winch and a log of that size on the linkage ? The mighty Nuffield of power is struggling with my Fransguard twin drum and 20' long over sized Larch poles.
  25. Day rate or piece work ? Large or small diameter? What do you need to cover your costs, £90 would be a good start. Anything less and you will be flogging yourself to death
