For $50 each I would buy the lot!

Have you tried Eddie trading as valley timber near crosshands? Not used him for a long time so he might not still be trading.
-
Fascinating, thank you. Great video by the way.
-
Fascinating, thank you for that. So different from anything I have ever seen. This is where cultural differences are so interesting. And I am guessing it does a good job?

Of course if wages were higher it would mean everything we buy would cost more. So, sadly the benefit of high wages largely gets lost! The only thing that really works is to personally have high wages when most people have low wages.

To answer your question about how many IBC cages it will fill - not as many as you would like. Probably 35. There is another thread on here where this is discussed in detail. So if you ignore the cost of processing, each cage will cost you £70 or so in unseasoned logs. Factor in processing, drying and delivering and it is no wonder that so many firewood sellers simply buy it from abroad.

I think you will find the oak best to split when fresh. I am worried that you’re metal wood drying store will not have enough ventilation to dry the oak well. Can we see photos of typical Romanian stoves? Sounds interesting.

I guess the only option will be to find someone with the right waste carrier's license to take them away for you. They are fairly light so disposal cost should be fairly low, but of course the company doing the disposal have to make it worth their while.

Wood burning stove with back boiler problem
Squaredy replied to Zaffy's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Yes, you have managed to get the water too hot. Does it heat radiators as well? If it does not you will have to manage the wood burner very carefully to avoid letting the water boil. I would have thought the system would have some radiators in the system to help dissipate heat. More details of your setup are needed please. -
As Andy says it depends on how much you want the sale. Are these beams that you sell lots of or are they ones you would be really glad to see the back of? If I were cutting them for a customer I would charge £50 for the 3.6 and £80 for the 4.8. What always worries me about long beams is they are rarely straight. If the customer is OK with that then no problem. But if the customer expects the beam to be perfectly straight 4.8m, then you could have problems. Ideally have the customer inspect the beams first.

What you are missing though, is that the brakes get used a lot less in electric cars, so much less brake dust. As for weight, you are correct batteries are heavy, but overall weight only about 10% more.
-
Yes, of course the well known terrible pollution caused by electric trains. Actually do I know brake dust is a problem. This is why they use wooden brake blocks in Paris (Poplar). I used to go to school by electric (overground) train, and I was aware of how everything near the railway got covered by this horrible brown brake dust. It was sort of hidden when Network Southeast was created in the mid eighties, but in the BR days it was horrible.

Well I guess you have answered your own question - the policy has worked. As for Sadiq Kahn - well he is a politician.

I sort of agree it seems un-necessary to have the steel container when such a good job is done of the log "cladding". BUT, imagine the look on the face of some toerag trying to break in, and he discovers that underneath that lovely hobbitesque exterior is an impenetrable steel shipping container!
-
Well not a mallard, but yes.

I wouldn’t say I feel smug, but I am a little smug. No Turkey in this house, only cooking for six, so we always have duck. In the oven at 11am, ready for twoish. So easy, much tastier than Turkey, and all eaten today. Bones on wood burner this eve.

That sounded perfect until you said crossword! Happy Christmas everybody, hope you all have a lovely day.

Usually by the time wording is required for MOT it is too late to do much to slow it down. Most of the serious rust comes through from the other side of box sections and double skin areas anyway which you can’t treat anyway. Personally I would just get the welding done as and when it is needed. With luck you will get a few more years yet.

I see you like green eggs and ham…

You need to read some Dr Seuss. Maybe you do?
-
With a slight amendment this should be in one of the Land Rover threads…

It looks like it would be ideal for a sports bar where half the members were basketball players, and the rest were jockeys. As long as they have separate sittings for the different sports!
-
Would you be able to find any of the fallen leaves from the tree? That would settle it?
-
Sorry to say I think he saw you coming. I might be wrong but it doesn't look like oak to me. And certainly not part seasoned. It could be willow, which at least is easier to dry than oak, but not great burning.

Etsy is useless how do you get your products seen!
Squaredy replied to Thomas younger's topic in Woodcraft Forum
The bottom line is there are way more people making nice things than there is a market for. The end result of this is only the top one or two percent of sellers will ever do well. Making nice things is skilful. Selling things is a skill as well, but most people forget this and assume their nice stuff will somehow sell.
