  1. looking for some of your thoughts again!! i took an order today from a small local hotel, they will require approx 1 cubic metre a week, very local to my yard so easy on fuel/time delivering, i feel i should offer them a SMALL discount if they do continue to order my wood, do any of you guys an girls do the same??
  2. im amazed every time i see pics of your work, that is incredible, first class!!
  3. hmmm, good point mrs/mr log baron!! i was going to point out that maybe an extra weeetabix in the morning could give baz some extra axe swinging strength, therefore increasing his 'yield'
  4. even better, use a drum that has had diesel in it, search for blackcurrant cordial on the big auction site, u know what im thinking!!!!, we did it, laughed for days, then had some tyres slashed!!!! tyres are cheaper than injection pumps!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. 1.2 m3 per ton doesnt sound right to me???? do you not split anything that has a knot in it at all??
  6. a.k.a as a 'safety board' apparantly thats what the educated type refer to them as!!!
  7. connick tree care use a lorry they have converted, was working around east-surrey last week, west sussex c.c have a double decker! they both use stop/go boards
  8. could be coil if backfiring, or as said timing problems
  9. great news fella, you keep on looking upwards & onwards, please keep us updated with any news, best regards rob
  10. i dont think it would ever pay to split the oak as you went, i bought a quantity of mainly oak so was easyish to keep apart from the rest, early days yet, its only just started getting cold!!!!!!
  11. i had a ring round the regulars today, to see what they felt about it, surprising results, my more elderly customers ( who have probably been around open fires/ log burners all their lives ) all showed some interest in the 'all oak' the more fashionable clients who use a fire for effect rather than heating wern't interested in the slightest, a small bit of time spent on the phone has payed off thou, 2 separate orders for oak going out tom morning, at a higher price, time will tell if we get any repeat orders! thanks for all your replys
  12. haha, its not looking good darren! ill be needing about £178 per cube delivered to a maximum of 3 doors away!! lol!!:thumbup:
  13. it was green when extracted, now ready for re-sale as seasoned logs!
  14. indeed!! with cash, blood, sweat & tears!!!
  15. the problem is that green oak is very heavy compared to other hardwood, therefore it needs to be more money once processeed!!
  16. mr robertson!! how are you?? yep, thats the stuff!! have battled to keep it seperate, hoping it will begin to pay off!!
  17. am i being unreasonable in asking more money for purely oak logs as opposed to my mixed hardwood? i was thinking of £15 per cubic metre more? any thoughts ladies an gentlemen?
  18. make sure that before the new pin goes fully home you grind any burr off the last inch or so of the new pin, dont freeze the pin, when frozen metal makes contact with cherry red metal, only one thing happens,, big headaches!!
  19. nah, perfectly safe!! doing things like that with worn out tracks/sprockets/machines, or only one track is far more daunting!!! its not often i put the seatbelt on in a 360, it has been known thou!!
  20. i think you can buy plans for that on u.s. fleabay, in fairness, if i was ' of that build ' i wouldnt be swinging an axe much !!!!! nice home built jobbie thou!
  21. curtainsides from a lorry, cut to the size & secured with elastic rope, heavy enough not to flap in the wind, and free if you knew anyone in the transport trade
  22. definatly needs no permission as you rightly say mate, nor does a pole barn, until you clad the sides, if you use mesh i believe its ok still, unsure on slatted wood sides, has anyone else any experience of this?
  23. thankyou treequip!!
  24. i dont know how to provide a link!! have a look on the big auction site, search vintage danarm & you should find it, what a beast!! i want one!!!!!!!
