  1. Have you got a chart showing the volume of wood in a cubic tonne?
  2. They left that log behind as a marker, it was right on top of the buried treasure
  3. Aside from the wildlife, trying to set fire to a large piles of branches usually has a low success rate, so you're going to have to move it anyway. Best off starting a small fire and adding the material to it, then you can have a nice clean fire, safe, everything burnt, and with the least ground damage. On the 2 acres is there not space to just leave the stuff to rot down? Better for nature.

  5. Looks good, do you go in there for a wee break from moderating on arbtalk
  6. Chain oil? Then wonder why the saw won't start? Or refuel the saw, forget to put the cap back on, and get petrol down your leg?
  7. Gotta be a business opportunity to fill an artic trailer with it (on a backload) and bring it over here and sell it for polycrubs?
  8. Handy tool, I bought one years ago, mainly used for scraping bark off logs. I remember it said on it hand sharpen only - assume the heat of an angle grinder a ruins the temper of the steel? But the thing was so blunt from new, it would've taken weeks to do it by hand, so out came the grinder. Peeling off ivy is very satisfying, but I hate the dust
  9. Looks good Here's my cargo bike off to do a few wee jobs with the battery strimmer!
  10. Big old heavy bugger oak which had fell many years ago, and was well and truly sucked into the ground
  11. A friend was telling me he was in a local garden machinery place and they had cable ties on the counter for sale, I think it was 50p. He was like 50p? Seems good? "yes per cable tie"
  12. Probably make more money with a pallet of screenwash or blue roll (workshop wipes) in the shop, everyone needs it!
  13. Yep same for "warning forest operations" signs, usually left in the woods until the uv degrades the plastic and it falls to bits
  14. Marginally better than a chainsaw without it!
  15. I've had the clip n trim for quite a few years, butchered numerous hedges (especially beech) back in to shape with it. I'm a right rogue so I even have the saw dangling off the end of an elephants trunk harness, what could go wrong eh!
  16. Not got any henchman branded ladders but it seems there isn't much between them
  17. How old are you? Looking at the website they also do a 10% discount every tuesday for over 55's, can you get us a saw? And some um bongo.
  18. Just in the news today, fatal accident inquiry: Tragic death of Chloe Morrison could have been avoided, FAI finds WWW.PRESSANDJOURNAL.CO.UK The 26-year-old nursery teacher was killed when she was struck by the unsecured outrigger leg of a lorry as she walked on pavement next to the A82.

    Overloaded

    Not overloaded, just 2 unsecure loads: Haulage firm fined after driver dies swerving to avoid buoy WWW.BBC.CO.UK The Aberdeenshire firm was fined £241,875 after safety failings led to the road crash.
  20. Hopefully the google translate link works: Homem tenta estuprar vaca, leva coice e morre com camisinha no pênis | Metrópoles TRANSLATE.GOOGLE.COM Colegas do homem o encontraram, com uma camisinha colocada no pênis e já sem batimentos cardíacos, ao lado do animal
  21. I've got rolls of rocwood cord, it's fine. Get 100m rolls in a few different sizes, then you know you've always got some on the shelf in the workshop for years to come
  22. If you wanted you should be able to fit a valve with auto return, you might have to lose the 2 handed levers though

    Cheese

    I love cheese! A good local one is fat cow
  24. I'm not on facebook, but as a window shopper I can see they've made a few posts on there since the new year. Could be something like a problem with their internal phone system, I've seen that happen at a business before
  25. If you were local I would swap it in exchange for some work. Also, the local community service (as in convicted offenders) here, sometimes do work on sites in exchange for being able to take the wood away. They take it back to their yard, cut it, split it, season it, bag it, then deliver it for free to needy oaps. Everyone wins. Is there any local groups it could be donated to?
