Daft and irritating terminology used in this industry
Goaty replied to Goaty's topic in General chat
Maybe should of called the thread. Annoying words you hate to hear. For that matter "chillax" and blah blah..... lol! its habitually put in everywhere eg. " My grandad died, I can't go to work today, LOL!!!!!" I do use the smilie on here but to show Im amused! -
Thanks amfell will have a look, knowledge is power:thumbup:

Was only thinking at the weekend what silly words we use that these days don't make sense. Then TCD let rip in the Cord wood thread:angryfire: How many do we use or come across. I'll start with two Grip = a ditch in a wooded area. It hangs on to nothing! Ride = Stupid term for a track through woodland, probably from "Tally Ho!" days When you have to explain bizzare names for simple stuff. Its time to update. We no longer talk king James style.

Pinball style tree felling!

A cord is a USA volume measurement. Cordwood is felled but unprocessed firewood. Thats the gist anyway.

You dont say what sort it is. But Would it be worth disconnecting lights(if they are attatched) take ram pin out and rear hinge, then put it on its side or on the floor. Less bits in eyes and less neckache.

Help required, I have a Turner 30" pedestrian flail mower that needs new tyres and other bits and pieces. It has governor springs and guards missing. I will make guards myself. I did ask for help on this machine a while back in another thread but cannot find any useful diagrams etc. I have just looked on the kohler engines website as that is what I suspect it is. However I do not know what the engine is. Where will I find serial numbers or other useful info? Also will it need a valve regrind, as I suspect its a legacy from leaded 4 star days? The engine looks like this Turner pedestrian operated flail mower............22" industrial rough cut mower | eBay

You need to give a better estimate of volume or pictures with houses or something to give scale. Also access for truck? Can you sort loading etc. Its not worth much in my experience, but I do prefer timber to go to good use.

I think he is a joiner or cabinet maker as well, I seem to remember reading in another thread. Mixing his skills and testing his freehand maybe? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Just what I thought! The Bamboo doesn't bother me, its the knots, this is a 9 year old photo from a visit to Hong Kong.

Why couldn't have I had this to work under for the last 2 months
Goaty replied to colwoodlandcare's topic in General chat
I assume because you didn't get the roof on in time? -
6 x 6 inch??!! I assume you mean feet? A small house i.e less than 8 x 12 will heat up to a very high temp if unattended with vents shut. Defineatly get auto vents. Have you thought of a polytunnel, more for your money and you can get various special films that do this and that. One type keeps aphids in check. If you maintain the wooden type will last a lifetime, the greenhouse is probably the most neglected garden kit with maintanence on average. The plastic type will have a short lifespan. Personally i would get a 2nd hand aluminum one locally.

This is the thread I remember being impressed at the timehttp://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/45709-simple-screener-log-processor.html

Should've done a poll with this thread
-
Just curious, not after a But you have only done this once and yet say it only works in clay, My experience is it has worked in various soils from clay to hard core laden ground. Sometimes it sits for hours and needs to be hammered in next day, others it disappears as quick as its poured. I am talking about using a tractor knocker. Parmieter type. Where it wouldn't drive em in then it did after water.

I wondered what happened to Mr Blairs big bar, it was in a thread about guess what was in the package. Did Stevie ever use it? Do the 2 of you have to mind read when to power up to keep the chain equally stressed, or does the clutch deal with it?

Looking for work experience - East Yorkshire
Goaty replied to amd250's topic in Training & education
Any more specific info may help eg. what safety gear you have, saw/s and a nearby town. You don't want to be traveling from Spurn point to Pocklington for a couple of hours work. Something should sort out for you. Welcome to virtual Arbworld. -
Nice find Toolfair Show

I have bought a 357xpg and 346xpg and 346xp from ebay 2nd hand all good saws. I would risk buying again. However I would not buy the saw in the link for the above mentioned reasons.

Does anyone tow a trailer with a telehandler ?
Goaty replied to gensetsteve's topic in Large equipment
I maybe wrong but I believe type approved is different to and not recognised in law, as law is archaic and has to go through parliament etc. Also your link is not a uk webpage, I havn't bothered to verify this as its not something I intend to do. -
Though its a large lump firewood is the easiest and quickest way to sort it. It is getting people who are interested in it that will be the problem. Wood workers tend to want seasoned and ready to use material. How long has it been down? Fungal activity has probably already started the decay process.
