lighter fluid injection for instant lighting firewood!

haha brilliant and would work too.. its a treatment for bleeding canker in horsechestnuts, still being trialled but good results so far, would expect the wet areas to dry out and hopefully begin healing over. going to keep a close eye on these now. pics showing coupling removal and plugging.

picture says it all..

found this below a large copper beech, then turned round and kicked the damn thing:blushing: cant find my fungi book so over to you guys..

Say again Ed??

oh mozza, blow ya tyre up:001_tt2: don't tell me you hadn't noticed?

why would anyone watch an advert channel? i wouldn't, local rugby club tried to sign me for something similar and made it sound ace, maybe with a felling vid or something but i think it would just upset all the bunnyhuggers.

25-1 twostroke mix? id have to carry a seperate can with me.

need closer up shots guys, without too much going on in the background in the way of branches etc. maybe look to future pics rather than your existing ones

are you saying we should 'stage' shots for this comp?

a couple of cable ties i recon three or four saws tied together is possible, oh mozza blow ya tyre up..

so 2ton of mixed hardwood, in lengths? rings? fresh or seasoned? what area is it? what do you want it for? and why? i must know everything..

them safetrack machines are brill, its fun just driving them on/off the trailer never mind going on slopes, got a job where the chipper needs to ford a river with 2ft sheer banks, approx 18inch deep with slow flow and boulders, and the local plant hire centre has one.. cant wait:thumbup:

no couldnt even get to split a log today, that was really unusual - the logs split themselves today.. think it happened when the cuts were made..

yes bob, sorry bob, won't happen again bob, haven't seen one for ages and it was the best bit of a really boring day:thumbup1:

might be worth getting the 'good' ear defenders too, the parts for the mod are pretty cheap, think it was £35 including new bigger dogs at the same time as well as the re-tune

went to fill a 25litre container at local cherry pump, i asked the dispensing guy on the gantry which pump was red and he asked which side was my filler cap..haha tempting but not in my truck thanks

fine stand there all day hurting your back..

working next to a small pond, full of tadpoles and then nearly stepped on this frog, just playing with camera a bit..

my ms460 was done at local stihl dealer, big exhaust port (stihl part) replaces original exhaust cover, retuned and difference is really amazing, revs up faster cuts quicker and can wake a whole village at 8am:thumbup1:

idiots had me parked in a compound and asked me to pull forward a bit, as i did so i noticed the wheels on the trailer were locked solid but dragged it a good 10ft, they said 'that'll do your trailer brakes work fine' they had pulled the trailer handbrake without telling me the sneaky tank dipping, chassis tapping, wheel wiggling moronic little oiks. gave one of them a face full of diesel soot with a well aimed turn of the key:thumbup1:

saw them pull a woman over in sutton coldfield last week, she wasnt very happy.. vosa had a tranny van with numberplate recognition cameras all over it, dont think i'd want to stop either though..

not like mine the other day on a gentle sideslope, chipper nozzle vibrated round downhill a couple of times..what a mess by the time we spotted it..

yes think it would have been an alder plank..frank:thumbup1:

never seen anything as shiny and new as that before.. heres one i was using recently, its getting a ram upgrade very soon to a 6inch ram, old fordson major is already struggling a bit with it so that might need a replacement pump or something.. ah yes and the sliding plate at the bottom needs a lip to save knees

OK you win The Leylandii Bashers Cup for 2010, top neat work!

watch this space, manicured bush coming up tomorrow, bet ya cant wait haha:thumbup:

i'd better get myself to BOC this week then, thanks guys, erm might have to tidy the workshop to fit them in..

its for welding chassis and other heavy bits as well as heating/expanding metal and cutting, im quite happy welding with oxy-acetylene unlike mig which im not very good with, i believe it gives a better weld if done properly. Dean would you mind letting me know how much you pay for rental and if thats for the whole set or just the bottles? thanks
