  1. Real bad in the colder months, and even on late finishes in summer. Gloves are essential once the sun has gone down, with white fingertips and TOTAL loss of feeling in the ends of fingers. Been getting worse over the last 4 or 5 years.
  2. Is this to house prairie dogs?
  3. That willow looks really nice mate:thumbup1:
  4. Hehe- some big lumps there matty!
  5. Robert- nice stick there mate!! That Nothofagus is truly a thing of beauty!
  6. Its about how scientists are 'transforming trees to be bigger, stronger and more durable in a search to make them even more useful'
  7. That maight make a pretty good truck.
  8. I take it you mean ARTic as the ARCtic is quite a long way from brizzle......
  9. Its GRP (plastic basially) so very light.
  10. I am witing for my 110 defender chassis to give up the ghost, and then i will transfer everything to a 130 galvy chassis and fit a tool box with roller doors behind the cab in front of the chip box, a bit like the first one on this page:Quality Used Land Rovers, land rover 110 models
  11. LOL- my missus asked that......almost at the very moment you were typing Dave!
  12. I thought that millions of years and millions of tonnes of fossilised forest were required?
  13. Volume of a cylinder divided by 1.2 isnt really nearly accurate enough TBH.
  14. It was invented in the 18th century by Hoppus. It allows the seller and the buyer to both take a bit of a hit on the price. If you imagine looking at the end of the log, and drawing an imaginary square over it, the corners of the square would be outside the circle, and the four sides would be inside the circle. the measurement is the mid quarter girth squared, multiplied by the length of the log in feet, divided by 144. Therefore you measure the girth of the log halfway down its length, divide by four, square that figure, multiply by the logs length (in feet) and divide by 144. Therefore if your log is 2'6" diameter at the mid point, and 7' long, there would be just shy of 27 cubic foot in it. If you deliver it and its of high quality, you may get 5 or 6 quid a foot
  15. Very good points about tooth length there Rob. As you say, this is essential. I did find that for some softwoods the rakers could be left higher than normal which gave less grabbing.
