Thanks but as to whether you're right or not... I haven't a clue. Anybody?
-
Crack on, please: I for one have always been confused as to how the nose weight is supposed to be maintained at a small fraction of the trailer's capacity. I see the principle behind it and I load over the trailer axles, i.e. balance the load, as far as I can, with a slight bias onto the front to put weight onto the towing vehicle's rear wheels.

I have no idea how a member of the public goes about obtaining such a transcript but you couldn't do worse than contact the court involved. It won't be free! Let us know... -
...and I've got the wrong bloke anyway! Stihlben; I'll amend my e-mail and see if the turner's interested.
-
midge29 - I've e-mailed a professional turner not far from you recommending that he looks at this thread to see what you have on offer. Jon

Not to tread on Stihlben's toes but I've got some sumach sticks from Alec (agg221), robinia, catalpa lumps (up to 20" dia), cherry logs @ 7'x9" and two lumps of holly @ 32"x12-14". I suppose it depends on what you call dry; it's been cut a while except for the holly but green stuff can be rough turned, then dried can't it? I'm in Caterham (J6). Jon

That report makes better sense of it doesn't it. The transcript should be available now if you applied to the court; it's a public document. Jon -

...That explains it then guys; thanks. -
Berberis don't do well in wet conditions, which is exactly what we've had for a year. And if you're in the north west as your name suggests you will know about it more than most. So my guess is that the tree's succumbed to the soil conditions and others - beetles - have begun the recycling process.

Good on uneven ground, even better with adjustable feet on the ladder. Sticking; only if you use them intermittently. Daily use frees them I find but the first legs I bought years ago never did stick. Those springloaded snibs need beefing up though; I've got 5 left of the original 8. And the bar... has never left the premises. You soon learn that if you need it you shouldn't be setting the ladders up that way. I see why it's supplied though.
-
Thanks. I think the correct term here is 'operator error'. The more accurate one is 'clumsy git not thinking about the leg tucked into the fluffy front of the hedge.' Even with the cutter blades not being as hard as those some years ago they don't have a mark on them from the encounter.
-
They're still great - I couldn't do without them - but it seems the legs are no match for an HS81R. I think I'm going shopping... online as they're not made by Stihl

Interesting to see that the conviction was under the Proceeds of Crime Act. It's a large and encompassing piece of legislation most commonly used to deal with money laundering. I make no judgement on that but if the offence was purely cutting down a Protected tree isn't there specific legislation? Of course the paper could have made a mistake; it's happened. Jon -
Why not out of interest? The 'left' and 'right' thing varies locally so it may be true for that council area. For the OP... Al, I'd say the best thing to get the parties to agree between themselves.
-
I think some halo pruning round the oaks is called for to give them more light. I can see a good stout lime stem perfect for setting up a zipline to send the pieces to the ground.
-
Likewise; probably hewn from a rootball.
-
Oh yes; the Goldies love 'em all through the winter.
-
Tony, if you've got bullfinches round you plant Geranium phaeum. They love it and it's funny watching them land on the tip of the stem and sink to the ground so they're feeding hanging upside down off it. But it does seed itself enthusiastically.
-
Yeah but what's 'clean'? A lady I know pays about that per bale for 40 bales at a time of the 'dust free' stuff delivered from Essex to Reigate!
-
Do you folks giving the stuff away for animal bedding not get moans about coughing, asthmatic horses etc? Horse owners pay silly money for compressed, plastic wrapped bales of 'dust free' shavings that have travelled half the country!
-
£60 each!
-
Sawdust mixed into slurry is hardly going to notice so why not ask a farmer if he'll take it if it's just to get rid of it? I know there are precious few slurry producing animals round here (horses, horses, horses ) but there are still one or two real farms. Jon

...and all in the North on ebay, predominantly Huddersfield. There's also a bountiful supply in Lymm (Gtr Manchester?).
-
Worked for me. No rarity but always good to see these, especially so near the house; taken this morning through the back door.

Real MDF? My understanding was that the glues contain horrible things like benzene derivatives. Benzene and its related compounds are carcinogenic.
