    Fair enough! Chainsaw boots have a filling which should clog up a saw, I've seen 'good' work boots still covered in claret following a run in with a saw, they offer no protection. The biggest protection from a saw is not being complacent, having experience and good work positioning. That said accidents do happen, I believe (excluding hands and arms) most often to the legs and ankles. I'd say get boots and trousers, and more importantly if you have no experience, proper training. Good luck

    Could be, though I'd expect fisti to have turned to mush by now. Could be dryadeus...

    Sounds more like topping than pollarding. Have a look in bs3998 for the current best practice for initiating new pollards. That said, the reality is you can cut willow where you like! Make sure to strike a balance between the aesthetics of the anticipated regrowth and leaving an anchor point for when you go back to repollard it

    Almost a shame to cover it up with fruit!

    I thought where I've folded them over the wire rack wasn't the best option, it meant those points got hot and the folded bits were double thickness. I'm planning on using long wooden skewers next time, then I can hang them all nice and straight. On this only experience, using a standard soy sauce, cider vinegar and Lee & perrins marinade and one made up on the spot, I preferred my own concoction. I think it had a splash of stout, a splash of red wine, some soy sauce, a little cider vinegar, a bit of tomato paste, chipotle paste and habenero paste, a few tsp smoked paprika, dried parsley, diced onion, crushed garlic glove, a heaped tsp of cocoa and plenty of cracked black pepper. It was very thick and rich, but could do with a bit more heat next time. Let us know how you get on

    Definitely open the door from the start next time, and it should be a bit chewy but this is extreme! Mostly cut across the grain. Will go a bit spicier next time, chipotle and habenero pastes taste good, but I've got some frozen jolokia chillies which should kick it up a gear...

    Well it's edible, just! Mostly a bit like leather, but with good flavour. The thickest cut bits aren't too bad.

    Maybe he's actually so laid back he can't be arsed to take his finger off the button...

    So far not entirely successful rather than gas mark 2 or 3 with the door ajar, I went for 1/2 gas mark with the door shut. After 2 hours the smaller bits at the top were verging on burnt! Door then propped open... The thicker bits, and those lower down might be ok yet - 4 hours in and still a bit juicy and not quite ready, but the thinner bits and where they have been hung over the metal rack are just about dry already. Flavours seem ok though. Next time 1. Must prop door open! 2. Slice all the same size. 3. Maybe try laying flat, rather than hanging? Pics to follow later...

    Sorry for assuming you were a troll. Strong stuff that vodka!

    My thoughts too, unless it's a resupinate fungi of some sort, not the clearest pic...
