i keep mine nice and sharp, they wouldn't stop at the slightest few fingers, we usually gauge the sticks it will cut by a 'thumbs width', stevie blair has a good safe method there, hope he doesn't mind if i steal a couple of ideas..

take a photo and put up an arbtalk non-competetive 'guess the weight' thread.. did have a table for this but my office is upsidedown at the mo..

for my personal woodstores i built a frame from 3x2 6ft high, 2ft deep and as long as the fence is.. old roofing slates on top (boards/tarps/shingles would do) so the drip line is way out from the wood. with a shelf halfway up so you get a good rotation, stack the split logs 2xdeep with the outer edge as straight as you can (well you have to view it as a garden feature now) with a space at one end for a builders trug full of kindling, my personal stores can hold 5tonne which doesnt last long on the open fire..

Hi odd_bird, I for one thoroughly encourage the use of women in arb.. joking aside a good friend and hard grafter i use quite often told me he is willing to work for free if i can get a bird on the team.. Ed.

Hi Baobab, I'm in a similar situation, the college (myerscough) im learning with pulled a smart trick on me, signed up for a 3yr course Foundation Degree in Arb at approx £1000 per year, I have done two years and they say i must attend another two years to get the certs for it.. I got peed off and am having a gap year this year, will probably return next year but not happy.. Don't forget college/university is just ONE way of learning, it is structured to fit in a lot without going too deep into the actual vocational path you have chosen. I'm not going to waste the gap year without learning, I'm working my way through a number of books as well as researching anything that interests me and is current in the world of arb.. Ed.

Coprinus comatus i believe, found it today next to an twinstem elm that looks to be shutting down, the fruiting body was quite big, i was travelling at 50mph when i spotted it, been to alton towers today but left the camera in the car, pity as there was a good selection there including fistulina on a dead oak.

imagine how much chip you could get into a good sized trailer too..
-
not only missed out on the BJ event (looks like a boys only jobbie) but missed out on the dancing girls by about a minute:thumbdown:, they were just clearing up when i got there:blushing:
-
no problamas dude, thought for a second you had too much money to burn..
-
because the only concievable benefit is to the coffers of the people who pretend to run this messed up country..
-
running a chipper on white is as wrong as running a road taxed vehicle on red.. the landy pto would be ideal otherwise
-
my ideal would be a bigger chipper surrounded with tool storage, infeed on the side or rear corner chipping into a good size box tipper trailer.
-
chips forward into a sidetipping box, clever idea, would keep within weight limit due to small box.. needs toolboxes around the chipper to be useful imo..

thought this one deserved its own thread.. whats your thoughts on it, obviously needs a towball but how do you rate it?
