  1. The ones on the ebay link posted are 0.61 cubic metre
  2. Surely there must be different degrees of kiln dried? A big company like certanly wood probably just bung it in the kiln for long enough to get the worst of the moisture out and take it down to below 25%. More like speedy seasoning than kiln drying *maybe*
  3. I think the 5% would only apply to home heating, so if it was a pub etc buying it to burn themselves it should be 20%
  4. Thanks for the info everyone The tree was felled because it was right next to a main road. Last year (before I started there), a few hundred yards further down, another beech came down accross the road. Luckily the only damage was to the stone wall A fair chunk of that tree still remains, I've made a start on cutting it up for firewood. I assume they cut most of it up then used something like a tractor with loader to lift the trunk out the way. I think it's about a metre thick at what would've been chest height
  5. It seams evaryone makes speeling mistooks Hoes does Meripilus Giganteus spread? Is it spores from the actual fungus part? How safe is it to transport the logs to another wooded area?
  6. :laugh1:Ironiclly it was neither of the saws in the photos that felled it, but it was another husky
  7. Ok it might not have been dead as a dodo, but it never properly came into leaf this year, from what I remember it had come into bud and that was about it
  8. Has anyone got anyone ideas on the diease/fungus which killed off this beach? Not a great photo, but there was a fair bit of this fungus type growth at the base

    Firewood

    You must be doing something wrong if you can't shift softwood, if I had a yard to process it in I could sell sitka all day long
  10. Yep it's a busy yard but there's not a chainsaw, axe, or dangerous homemade splitter in sight, where's the fun in that! Working there is probably about as interesting as working in a fish processing factory.
  11. SGM have special online prices that they don't honour over the counter, they didn't say that until I got there, I walked out empty handed, what a waste of time, would never go there again
  12. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLe-FAu9gzI]TWITCH-n-SPLIT - YouTube[/ame] I like the bit of pipe for the conveyor, wonder what he did with the other half lol
  13. Was looking through various bars and chains at a place I work part time, found a 36" bar with chain, looked to be plenty of life left on the teeth, but on closer inspection half the teeth appeared to be semi chisel, and the other half full chisel. Obisously someone has joined 2 shorter chains to make a longer one I haven't tried cutting with it, do you think it'll work
  14. Another thing to remember is if a trailer weighs over 1020kgs unladen you'll need an operators licence for it
  15. Some people seem to think chainsaw trousers have some magical power that means they never need washed

  17. If they were being paid for it they would need hire & reward insurance and a tacho
  18. Sixfold Productions LLC - Firewood processor Klapi-Tuiko fabrication, forestal equipment. : Klapi-Tuiko Looks a nice toy

  20. Yeh I like that beech pic Here's a wellingtonia eating it's own sign
  21. You should give them my phone number I have plenty of rubbish waiting for a bonfire - bark, sawdust, crap from the splitter, hedge cuttings, branches etc
  22. I've only ever done firewood on a very small scale, and I've not got much left atm, aint got a proper yard, hoping to soon be allowed to use a field and buy some more in though Anyway here's a photo from friday of some logs I was splitting for someone else. This was about halfway through the pile of rings
  23. Here's a basic one I made from timber I had lying about. Just stick the logs in and run the saw through. No real limit on length, so long as you don't tip it!
  24. Depending on the type of work and who it's for, you could always give an hourly rate....
  25. I'm not that interested in your crane but I like your log stores, have you got any more pics?
