    It's not very obvious, but the first post is tagged West Midlands

    You have to remember there can be quite a time difference between cutting/splitting big logs for a boiler stove, and doing the old 'granny logs' (at best the size of a house brick)

    What a difference a day makes, was working in falling snow yesterday, and today slightly sun burnt!

    Build a cabin on a jetty half on half off the pond, put a solar panel on the roof, a few old 12v batteries in the cabin, hidden under the seating, next to the mini bar, then run some cheap 12v dc lights from that, on a timer or lux sensor to keep it lazy, then relax on the decking, as the midges devour you

    Go to mention this, Brake calliper rewind tool. Set comes with l/h and r/h winders, and loads of adaptor plates to fit various brakes. Seems sturdy enough for diy use. Couldn't believe the price though - £13.99 inc delivery from ebay

    You could even have a solar panel charging a 12v system for a couple of lights/chargers

    The giveaway with the woodmizer is the photos, Skye doesn't look like that!!

    The foam tyres are good but the bearings are rubbish, they don't last long on a sack truck with heavy use. You can get replacement bearings for a couple quid but they don't last any longer. The good wheels are the magliner ones, but you need deep pockets.

    I've no doubt that in 20 years time we'll all be running about with battery chainsaws, hedge cutters, etc, and we'll be trying to explain to youngsters what 2 stroke was. Ps just fitted an ebike kit to my bicycle, wow, great fun!

    Mike Pepler, the celebrity! Recognise the name from years ago on youtube!

    Maybe I had a bad pair, but I had the same boots a good few years ago, and they didn't last long, the sole fell off

    What is wrong with the Queen. Why would you cut down trees just to get a bit of wood out of it. Can she not go down to a timber yard like everyone else. Would somebody please think of the children

    You've never seen it then! Old gaelic boy doing odd jobs on folks houses. The only annoying thing is half the time he bodges the job with PVC and silicone! And he likes a good sing and dance

    Interestingly, on the episode of "DIY le Donnie" (BBC Alba) tonight, there was a community garden, and the folks were painting a dug out stump/roots with wood hardener, to try and preserve it. Suppose it's a bit like the resin idea. Don't know how well it would last.

    This just came up on my youtube. Think I've seen a similar machine before. Just looks like a nice simple relaxed way of producing logs from thin lengths

    Hedge waste as in cuttings from a hedge cutter? A chipper isn't going to help much with that

    One of the best known faces in Inverness ,apparently accused of rape, and runs off to the US to fake his own death https://www.kion546.com/news/sheriffs-scottish-man-fakes-disappearance-at-monastery-beach/1046018812

    If you've got a petrol cut off saw (stihl saw) get a terrasaur blade, about £100

    Yew's aren't good for your health. Have you seen the mortality rate around churches that have yew trees outside. Dead bodies everywhere.

    Stephen/htb, if you working near Inverness again, I'm always after logs (cash paid), and can always find a home for woodchip. Less than 10 mins north of the Kessock Bridge.

    Not quite the same, Balfor do one incorporating a normal chainsaw, and splitter + conveyors, powered by petrol or hydraulic. I think it will cut 500mm lengths. https://www.balfor-firewood.com/firewood-processors/

    2 old photos of it from t'internet

    Are you looking at buying from the dealers in the link? If so I would be a bit wary. I have looked up about them before, same vans appearing in the "auction" every week. Not sure if there's any bargains to be had

    It's the same for Stornoway, locals either can't get over to the mainland, or get back home. Ferry full of tourists, with fares subsidised by tax payers
