    Weld a tab of metal to the bar with a bolt hole in it
  2. You get an electric one aswell [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12aZxiBucWU]Stroia Product - Sistem de ambalare lemn de foc PackFix Posch Leibnitz - YouTube[/ame]
  3. Staff xmas night out
  4. I've had a pair of stihl forestwear classics, blue ones, bib and brace. Have had them a few years but never been used that much and the fabric is coming away at the seams on the back:sneaky2: Don't think they still make these exact trousers though? There's also a set of the very basic stihl green bib and brace which seem to be lasting ok! (unsure of age) There's a million threads on this subject in the general section. Think the oregon/SIP trousers are quite durable
  5. Do you net it or tarp it?
  6. *Wonder* what it would be like
  7. Would what it would be like on big trunks over say a metre thick?
  8. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0jS4d_foxM]Trick to starting a Stihl chainsaw - YouTube[/ame] :laugh1:
  9. Nice idea, careful with your mates arm though
  10. How much to deliver to the highlands
  11. What kinda size of wood do you use to make the kindling from? How much do the empty bags cost? Do you know if they're UV stable? ie could you season wood in them?
  12. Bump, just wondering if there's any updates, has anyone else bought one, what's it like, how much do the empty nets cost, what can you sell a filled net for?
  13. You do know, that's the law already, and has been for many years?
  14. The ones on the ebay link posted are 0.61 cubic metre
  15. 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*
  16. 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%
  17. 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
  18. 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?
  19. :laugh1:Ironiclly it was neither of the saws in the photos that felled it, but it was another husky
  20. 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
  21. 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
  23. 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.
  24. 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
  25. [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
