You can also get hazzard bunting for about a tenner for a roll It's like an orange plasticy cord (simmilar to washing line!) with little red and white plastic bits hanging off. Often used to mark overheard wires on building sites etc. If you had somehting to wrap it up on after use it could be stored quite neatly

Doesn't seem very cheap, thats about £350 worth in the photo at the top Can you not use blue polyprop rope between cones like on roadworks Or plastic red and white planks with rope fed through inside, supported by cones (bulky to store though)

Do you have any small local T shirt printers? Often these places will let you supply your own clothes, with them charging a couple pound per item for printing/embroidery So you can go and pick the workwear you prefer and take it to them

Yes it's a scam, have heard it mentioned loads of times on various forums They called me once saying I had signed up to something or the other, I just told them I knew it was a scam and hung up

When is someone going to start making chainsaw shorts, it seems a waste buy a new pair of trousers just to cut the bottoms off

Either that or they were happy enough to have their saw back, and went home leaving it like that

Funnily enough I was cutting/splitting/stacking logs for next winter today. We burn a heck of a lot in the house on the rayburn so right now not sure how much I will have available for sale. Also haven't yet been able to get a yard

I've had my transit mk6 remapped by Martyn too EGR blanked off aswell, you just need a wee bit of tin

Get a tree hung up so go and fell the one in front it's leaning on [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9BAY3yo2aI]YouTube - Barber Chair Whoops![/ame]

I'm sure the gransfors are great axes, but I've had a cheapo fibreglass one for about 5yrs and it's now only showing wear after I lent it to someone

Each to their own, if that was local I would've been round there tomorrow. Assuming its not a big rotten mess, and they dont expect me to clear up the sawdust etc

Just thought I would bump this old topic and see how folks are getting on with the barrow bags? I'm kinda thinking about them myself right now I only run a small firewood business. I have a LWB transit (panel van) and an 8x5 drop side trailer (not tipper). I fitted mesh sides so I can offer two load sizes, a "single" at 1.25 m3 and a "double" at 2.5 m3. The larger load is proving the most popular, as it works out slightly cheaper for the customer. Also I think that a nice trailer load of logs with my sign on the back makes good advertising As it's not a tipper, it takes around 20 mins to handball the 2.5 cube of logs out of the trailer with the customer helping I haven't really got the money for a decent 2nd hand tipping trailer. Also a lot of my deliveries seem to be to places where you just can't get a trailer as close in as you're like - narrow busy city streets or single track roads with tight driveways, cos it's a long wheel base you run out of space at the front wheels Does anyone use barrow bags for large deliveries of 2 cube or more, or is it just folks buying a bag or so at a time? Do you think they would be quicker than handballing a load onto their drive, or do folks expect you to take it round the house down the path and to the far end of their shed just because it's on wheels? Does anyone know of any of the bag companies that would sell less than 50 units? I think I would only need half that

I remember one we were taught at college, you make a slit in at 45 deg nearish the top on a high stump, then you stick your pulp hook into the slot to hold the bottom of your saw, and make another slit in the top of the stump for the bar to sit in

I got a bit lost Did you see the guy's website, offering free trees, amongst other things FREE WOODLANDS

How easy is your wood to split? What I do with big rings (simillar size to yours) is knock them in half with a wedge so you can lift them up onto the splitter

I built mesh sides for my 8x5 trailer a few weeks ago It's inch weldmesh, you could cable tie tarpaulin or black plastic dpm to the inside for a light way of holding chip? (halfway through painting)

There's a boy in Inverness called Phil Macone who runs an ice cream van

You will need a calibration cert aswell, tachos need to be calibrated every 2 years And make sure you get the right discs, it's probably a 180km/h model, HGV ones will be 125km/h

Same here, if you were local I would've been round tomorrow to collect!

What about a cone splitter mounted on say a mini digger (if you have one)

Was browsing youtube, there's a better video on this machine [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QgYcSi4L64]YouTube - Sami Autochopper Automatic log splitter of the next generation[/ame]

I was once charged the standard car rate for crossing dartford in a van with trailer

Here's one I built, had it priced at £80, tried advertising it on gumtree, ebay, my website, ads paper, in person to firewood customers, etc, but didn't have any interest
