Tillhill or Fountains might be able to sell you some? Can't help you with prices, all I know is they're rising (for soft aswell as hard), the guys at the local sawmill were moaning to me about it If you ever need a hand processing stuff, I have my own saw and petrol splitter, can travel . Can also do vehicle signwriting, and I'm cheap!

Well it's orange and white, so it must be a stihl

I delivered 10 cubic metres of lovely dry softwood logs to a hotel, for some reason they insist on keeping it outside against the wall of a building, on the ground, with no cover The wall might keep off a little rain, but it's already soaking wet!

Looks like I'm the only person on here who isn't married, and is stuck at home with the parents :laugh1:

It's ok, they'll be trundling past belladrum festival on kicking out day and then off down the A82, so no one will be able to overtake for about 30 miles

If you're looking for help with strimming/brushcutting, give me a shout Have own gear and van, will travel -
Thanks , had a close call with a bonfire that started wandering the other week (had to beat it back with green branches) so thought it may be handy to keep one at hand in the furure Had been looking at the ones stored outside local forests, mainly wire ones 8ft-10ft long, but the heads didn't look possible to make by hand using basic tools I will have to see what flat rubber I can get

Have a read of this thread http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/21082-husqvarna-ear-defenders-built-radio.html It's something thats on my wishlist but for now I'm just using my cheapo mp3 player with FM radio, and earphones, which can be used underneath a helmet or headband ear defenders

Has anyone ever made fire beaters? Any preference over mesh or rubber? Anyone got any designs/drawings I could copy:001_tt2: Could you cut up an old tyre to make a rubber head? thanks

Tongs in one hand and a pulp hook in the other, I find is best (with belt holsters) And a first aid kit on your belt - you can get them for about £2 on ebay. Ditch the plasters and add extra bandages I sometimes have an "army style" water bottle, with holster, on my belt I keep most chainsaw bits and bobs in a big toolbox that I can just chuck in the van with the saw, fuel, and ppe. Got round files, flat files, chains, bars, grease, starter cord, tools, etc etc Oh and don't forget a felling bar/wedges!

Which country do you live in

Pallets are cheap/free so may aswell use loads of them. You could also stand them upright within the heap to section off areas and let more air in
-
?? all you need to prove volume is a tape measure (but you do have the issue of the load settling in transit)

It makes no difference if you dial 999 or 112 though 112 No Signal Mobile Phone Call Diverts to Satellite Hoax
