No apology needed - good to see you back.

2mm and 1mm sounds a bit thin for the BJ sides; the tops certainly are thin though and won't take bashing with trunk rings etc - I think I've said this earlier in the thread. But bear in mind that the lower drop sides are double skinned and reinforced internally so I could be wrong. Comments above about not standing on the high sides' ribs etc are spot on. @Alycidon if you want me to check those thicknesses (and tyres) I 'm happy to do so.

James Pepperpot on here is straight down the A21; try messaging him.

Oo get you ?

I wonder if Golden Bough ever even read the first reply...

Ditto. I've put small clips on the elastic loops so can clip to the mesh from outside. But mine was a freebie from @se7enthdevil ! Cheers Steve!
-
That's neat. My trailer's a Brian James and the pattern isn't mesh, more square holes with flat bars of metal between.

Blimey - ok. I think I'm needing about 300 rivets!

I bought a load of 3mm perspex for exactly this purpose some months ago but haven't got round to doing anything about it. I now have a nagging doubt; can you pop rivet 3mm perspex without shattering it?

I watched a PTO driven 15" one a few years back doing some domestic biomass chip. God it was slow. Mentioned it to a mate who knows his stuff and his words were 'never a better name for a chipper', i.e. junk.

Morden Hall's miles from Croyditz!

No argument on that one eggs and even if not experience would cause the '**** it, I'm doing it anyway' attitude to kick in and worry about the niceties later.
-
If true that could explain any lack of searching: searching the opposite sex is very non-pc don't you know and to be avoided if at all possible. Checking outer clothing is OK but any more than that needs lots of justification.
-
I agree eggs but the length of service on the streets is dire; experience and old sweat guidance is in very short supply. Perhaps those involved were simply too inexperienced for the 'safety first' mentality to have kicked in - not through lack of training though. Custody Officer should be a safe job apart from keyboard RSI and weapon-free threat from prisoners. But let's not jump to conclusions;. Homemade firearms can be tiny - hence easily concealed - yet lethal at close range; we don't know what sort of weapon was involved. The only conclusion it is fair to jump to is that it should obviously not have happened. Thoughts have to be with the poor victim's family.
-
Wow. That's some assumption. You may be right of course but until you know... What my wife has told me she found online was that officers didn't want to search on the street due to the presence of a large group - they probably thought it safer to get him away as well as according to search laws' insistence that due dignity should be accorded searched persons. The facts will out but how the guy got as far as the inner sanctum without a search at least sufficient to find a gun I can't think. The poor arresting officer(s) have the consequences to live with forever.

I'm even less help with the fungi I'm afraid but if you ever become aware of the tree being removed please, please let a good woodworker know; the timber is amazing and simply could not be allowed to go to waste. Thanks and sorry about the lack of help for your current problem.

A 'chipper' for under £1k may chip a pencil but not much more. How about contacting a couple of garden machinery dealerships and enquiring into used/recon'd machines. If you're prepared to spend £1k perhaps you could find a decent secondhand machine that costs £2k new. These are good; the prices new should guide you in your search as to what to expect for £X. Here's a start for you Used Wood Chippers and Shredders at RT Machinery Ltd in Aylesbury, UK RTMACHINERY.CO.UK RT Machinery is an independent ground care company based in Nether Winchendon, Aylesbury.

Easy for me to say from here but if the neighbour's that petty ignore him; you're never going to get on with him whatever you do.

I wouldn't bother with the glyphosate if you cover the ground and bury the cardboard properly. Yeah, I'm afraid tree guys don't bag their chip - it's an achievement getting it into the truck sometimes! What's the problem with 'mess at the front'? Chip's easy stuff to clear up.

Fastest drying & best burning Softwoods 1-5
nepia replied to arboriculturist's topic in Firewood forum
No league table as such but I've always acquired loads of Lawsons. Bloody horrible stuff to process, dries fast, burns very fast. But I get loads of it and it's free. -
Oh dear!
-
Meindl have a reputation for being on the narrow side but some disagree strongly; have a look at them.

Hi Koysii. In your position I'd cover that area in cardboard and bury it within the next couple of months in 6" of woodchip. The ground would be out of action for the winter but the insulation should keep the roots trying to send shoots to the light, failing and exhausting themselves. You need the Tip Site Directory on here to register for chip, logs etc. I hope you win with the weeds!

I hope it works for you. The centre of gravity looks high; how did you find wheeling it about? Did it want to suddenly tip forward or back? I know someone here with the powered wheel assisted Haecksler and he says he's unsure about its benefit. he may be no worse off without the wheel and its motor and hence its extra weight; after all the third wheel only adds a limited amount of drive - it's an assist mechanism, not a full drive mechanism.

Superb work. Almost mouseproof yet alone stockproof!
