    First attempt with the chainsaw mill. Small lengths of walnut
  2. daveindales
    Apparently,its very toxic to horses
  3. daveindales
    Totally rotten at the base. Multi-stemmed with lots of cavities. Not a lot of nice straight lengths. Coming down before it falls down.

    As walnut is toxic, (juglone) is it ok to burn as firewood? Has anyone experienced any problems burning it? Felling one tomorrow.

    I use sage one, the cheapest sage package. Suits my needs, but it took me quite a while to figure it out.

    I have the chance to buy a used avant 420 loader. Its a 2013 model. Done 2000 hours, and is a bit rough looking, with a couple of cracked panels. Has anyone a rough price for what its worth and what to look for as far as wear and tear? It comes with no attachments.

    I too have National Grid in an Isa. Taylor Wimpy has been good for me. Just sold them. Bit more riskier, but I also have Sirius Minerals and Hurricane Energy. Got Lloyds in a SIPP. Not all good though. Got one down 97%

    If your just dealing in shares, £5 a trade is great. I use it all the time. With regard to funds, you can set up a monthly direct debit. I'm not sure, but I think the minimum might be around £25 a month. Im late 40's now. If I was early 20's, then funds and dividend paying shares over the long term would be my preferred choice.

    I could be wrong, but I don't think I pay any charges, apart from a £5 dealing fee. With iweb.

    Your always going to get loads of different answers when you ask a question like this. A lot depends on the level of risk you want with any savings. a cash isa is safe, but pays rubbish interest rates. a stocks and shares isa is riskier and you may lose money. Stock markets are at all time highs at the moment, and many predict a correction happening. if you start a personal pension, you can manage that yourself if you feel competent. This is called a SIPP. I do this and invest in funds mostly. Perhaps the safest way to invest in shares and funds is to drip feed your money each month. Or you could just put it in the bank, and use it when needed. Deciding on your level of risk is the first thing to do. Once you answer this, your half way there. Hope this helps.

    Not got one, but mine stopped working and it was replaced by a newer TW no stress. Works fine now.

    There's been a conservative club in the small market town where I live, for as long as I can remember., but a few years ago, it dropped the word conservative. Was also a liberal club.

    Defiantly not Swedish whitebeam. I will take a photo of the tree next week. Might help a bit. There's a couple of them growing in an old Victorian garden.

    Not a tree I see very often in the Yorkshire Dales, but am I right in thinking this is Sorbus torminalis? Tree was about 50ft high, rough bark on lower bole.

    Use aspen in my hedge trimmers. Didn't know they did chain oil.
  16. daveindales
    I know its an old thread, but i'm working on a road bend shortly. Traffic lights job (40mph legal limit). does anyone else take into account chainsaw chain oil getting on the road whilst cutting or am I still a bit OCD? bikers uphere are a bit wild

    Friday, im going with a group of mates for the third golfing break of the year. Weekend in Leeds. Probably have another one in Liverpool in September. Group of mates, a few beers and a takeaway. What more could you ask for?

    I'm left handed, and have always started all saws, strimmers etc with my left hand. If two of us are chipping, I always stand on the right hand side and chuck the branches in , mainly with my left hand. Funny thing this hand thing. If playing cricket, I would bowl left handed, and bat right handed. I play golf right handed, but play snooker, and darts left handed. Perhaps, that's why I'm no good at any of them!!!

    If your interested, I have a branch logger for sale due to no longer selling firewood. It's in immaculate condition. SMH70. Done under 500 nets from new. Always being stored in garage

    This is my first post on the new site. Got to say, I preferred the old style site. Seemed a lot simpler to use. This seems a bit more cluttered and complicated to navigate. Maybe it's me not taking enough time to work things out? However, I know it cost a few thousand, and I know Steve must have done it for the better. So,I'll persevere.

    Good bench grinder and a jig. I've sharpened mine for the last 12 years. Father in law is a joiner and had a good grinder and jig. TW blades.

    And it's cheaper.
