That's a lot for sub-sawlog sized larch. With the winter (by calender, not weather) we've had so far, you might really struggle to move it at that.

I've been having a whale of a time with my DCS7901 for the last few days sectioning some monster wind blows much too large for it. It's only sporting a 24 inch bar, but has been chugging through 3 1/2 foot logs like their's no tomorrow. Hurrah for Big Blue!

The yew is especially nice! Very good throughout though. Jammydodger - there is no 'right' thickness but 2 inches is fairly versatile. I've had a lot of demand for inch and inch and a quarter lately for some reason!

2002 / 52 - MG MGF ZR 1.4 ROVER | eBay Not that funny to me - a bit obvious I suppose, but well written anyway!
-
I'm obviously unlikely to be a customer, but am very keen to see your work! Always nice to see a nice slab of timber
-
Fantastic photos - the first one got a proper exclamation from both myself and my wife. I look forward to the programme!

When you finally take delivery of it all (you jammy git!) I demand a video of a Wallace and Gromit style pulley and rope contraption that some how makes a mundane task (like putting on ones brand new chainsaw trousers, you lucky git!) into an entertaining event for all the family!

This has left my local community shocked and sickened.

As awful and as horrific as that is for the poor horse and his owners, the fact that someone can do that to an animal means that they can do it to a human too. I hope they catch them quickly. -
In my experience there is a huge difference between the MS181 and the MS260. The 181 is a very slow saw that doesn't seem to like to oil. The step up to a pro saw will be a real eye opener for you! Like both the 261 and the 346, but have two 346s and that's what I'd recommend. Jonathan

I looked extensively (was until very recently vegan for nearly 10 years) and there isn't anything. I started in wellies too, but they drove me nuts so I took the plunge and got leather boots a year and a half ago. It's a slippery slope!

I'm 27 with 1 years no claims (when commencing the policy, 2 now) with an 11 plate Navara and it's £780 a year, full business policy. Anyone over 25 can drive it and the excess is £100. Insured with Lycetts.

How tremendously, pathetically petty. I bloody hate people like that!

No picture unfortunately but aged 10 I stupidly picked up an adder on the Epsom downs. I'd always desperately wanted a pet snake and that desire overrode whatever caution I should have had. A night in hospital and a mostly useless right hand (for about 6 weeks) followed. All sorts of interesting colours that were most amusing for freaking out girls in school (traditional courtship rituals of school boys!). Jonathan

Remind me never to accept employment from you Rover!

Judging by the way the chap is dressed, he could easily afford to purchase the logs. The utter impotence that we have to defend our property, livelihoods and ourselves is infuriating. What I would definitely not condone is the donning of a balaclava, lying in wait for the scumbag with a baseball bat and taking out a leg without him ever seeing your face. That is something I'd definitely not condone!

Nearer the £400 end I would say? I got a used 088 for £420 a couple of years back, and the 084 is an older model.

Our collie cross has her bed in our bedroom and has a cuddle on the bed for a few minutes before sleep before going to her bed when told. She won't come up again unless asked. She is as good as gold, and obviously is always clean when on the bed, but like predator says, you start bonding more and more with them.

Thank you all for the very useful advice! The CE Mark is something that I must admit slipped my mind. I will ask my friend who brings in a lot from China (and a bit from the US) what he does about it. Regarding competition, I would bring in a mill that isn't distributed here but with the express intention of sourcing parts there after. Lots of food for thought though...... Jonathan
-
I've been looking around the web for small bandsaw mills and they all seem to come out of the US. Bringing one over isn't really economical, so it would make sense to fill a container with them. The intention would be to source a mill with a 30 inch throat or thereabouts, 10-20hp engine and static (so not on a trailer). Looking at the importing costs, I think we can do this for under £5000 (and possibly without VAT). If this were possible, how much interest would there be for this? Consisting that the cheapest petrol mills are over £7000, I would hope that they could be considered good value! Jonathan

Looks like Ash to me - though I don't have any experience with walnut.

Of course it goes without saying (and I think that I speak for lots of members in your vicinity), that should you need help with any work or anything else whilst you are mending, don't hesitate to ask!
-
I think that we are missing a golden business opportunity here lads - why not offer a summer time timber stacking service for our log customers. Just picture it from the customers point of view - only available May to August, your logs will be stacked by a busty beauty for a measly £25 an hour. Plugs the gap in the firewood market, makes an extra buck ontop of the price of the firewood and you can legitimately employ models!

2004 AUDI S4 QUATTRO CABRIOLET SILVER + SPORTS EXHUAST | eBay Would be far more amusing with a Skoda Fabia though!

Oh bugger that looks tremendously painful! The stupid mistakes are the most frustrating - for the first time I managed to mash a couple of finger tips under a heavy oak slab a month and a bit back. Two quite deep cuts followed and they took about 5 weeks to heal. All the best for the surgery tomorrow and a speedy recovery. Jonathan
