The other good thing about alkylate fuel is that you can feel a bit self righteous 'eco-wise'. To avoid the risk of smugness, I offset my green credentials by using mineral based chain oil (and therefore suffer no oil pump problems either, as a bonus*).
-
Indeed...... what I mean was that for a spot of domestic forestry, the cost of fuel (£12 or £20) is an insignificant cost when compared to the expense of the saw (£230).
-
Sorry, I was using Aspen as a generic term for alkylate fuel. I get Aspen as they sell it next door to where I work, but I would assume that the other brands are much of a muchness.

This bit? https://arbtalk.co.uk/classifieds/

Aspen without a doubt. The first saw (well actually the second saw I guess) only went tits-up due to a knackered carb. Why sent the next saw the same way. If £230 has just been spent on a new saw, Aspen is at worst about £20 more, and it will last for tanks and tanks and tanks and tanks. £20? Not exactly breaking the bank. Why mess about mixing fuel, draining out fuel, disposing of unused fuel, buying fuel stabiliser, getting carbs refurbished. Just get a pack of aspen and forget about it.

The first one was bad enough, ... but the the second?? Surely that's enough to viper smile off anyones face.

Planting trees to sequester carbon emissions

I thought farmers were only in business atm due to people still insisting on eating food. -
Planting trees to sequester carbon emissions
Bolt replied to benedmonds's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Indeed, Mr TVI. For this approach to work, our generation would indeed 'depend' on future generations do the 'right' things with our carbon (the carbon that we so nonchalantly released from deep, deep underground ) such as furniture making, construction or continuous cover forestry, in order to keep 'our carbon' out of their atmosphere whist it remains on the surface of the planet. Maybe we can also rely on them to come up with a proper long term solution to return it back underground to where we found it (that will probably be a pleasant diversion from dealing with the legacy of Sellafield et al.). -
Similar type of thing... Mini Timber Trailer - TCF ENGINEERING WWW.TCFENGINEERING.CO.UK Our Mini Timber Trailer is perfect for low impact forestry...

Sorry Wisewood. Should have been a good thread. Great bear by the way :-)

Kinda ironic that you 'tainted' this very thread with your highly tenuous Brexit observation on just the 3rd reply. I am not really interested in Brexit either way. Luckily, I have the self-control to avoid the 'news' and 'no deal' thread, so Brexit doesn’t generally register on my visits to the forum. I'm know it’s difficult when you are totally passionate about something, and only a few others seem interested, but the majority of the population just doesn’t really care. You need to let it go and move on. There are more interesting things going on on this planet.

I think you need to move them goalposts...... asking for trouble infront of all that glass.

If it's a qualification, regulated by Ofqual (such as a Lantra Qualification), It is usual for you to keep it for life. Generally, they didn't expire the last time I looked. Certificates of competence can expire. Certificates of attendance can expire. Certificates of refresher training can expire. 'NPTC' assessments can also expire. Regardless of all this however, as for all aspects of work in the UK, 'sufficent' refresher training is still a legal requirement.

How did you crack your stove glass?
Bolt replied to BowlandStoves's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
My glass broke when the skateboard snapped and the stove hit the doorstep too hard. -
I have always used the greasy skanky one that was attached to the old cooker. But then, i'm not a 'lectrician.
-
+1 Never known one come with a cable (except possibly a 'baby belling').

Planting trees to sequester carbon emissions
Bolt replied to benedmonds's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Most important point is: If you can separate a gullible client from their cash, and end up with a nice planting project to boot, go for it (a man needs to eat!) However, surely everyone has simply realised it's a massive con trick / head-in-the-sand-exercise. Your client should plant trees because they love trees being planted. If they feel guilty about releasing carbon, they should leave the carbon deep underground. -

I didn't see the bit where they calculated that after 70 to 100 years all the trees had died and the carbon was back out in the atmosphere. -
Bless you. Pass my coat.

Safe to say, not a Shiesle...... ..a Schliesi.... ..a Shclislin.... ..a Snchliesli.... ..a, one of them there German chippers.

Not to mention Alan, he still is.

That's not overloaded. Still room for a palettes worth of block pavers in the back of that.

Lovin' the shorts.

The trick with hedges like this is to add a zero to the price and sub them out if you get them.

...AND, I offered biochar (which, ironically is one of the few credible suggestions to the original post). Anyway, what is your great suggestion Rob? Hope it's better that a cart and a hole, though I doubt it will be as good as the rollin' coal.
