  1. :thumbup1:Thanks for posting chaps. I've got the book now in pdf. I remember reading it in a library about 7 years ago. If anyone wants it you can PM me your email and I can send it to you 44.1 MB download though. May take a few days to send as Im not at home.
  2. :thumbup:Big trak for grown ups
  3. Yes but not by much usually, As same few customers every year. I don't produce more than 30ish cube. Though have picked up a few more customers and others have moved or gone on to easy energy fuels.

    Stihl tv ad

    Just arrived in NZ today where they do things differently. My friend told me about the stihl tv ads. Heres the page, there are 2 ads. Enjoy:001_smile: TV Commercials | STIHL | chainsaws, brushcutters, hedge trimmers, clearing saws, high-pressure cleaners, lawn mowers, trimmers, Stihl
  5. This thread needs converting in to members only I feel, as it names ebay and I've heard a lot of new tricks I didnt know. Not that I will use them, but others will.
  6. I always wondered how we rated the lunge thread.
  7. 23.75 tonnes
  8. Would be interested in the results. Do a control sample. After all in other parts of the world forests regenerate by fire. Keep us posted.
  9. Spritely lass, got more about her than most people. Looking around and keeping an eye on the job. PPE is a modern thing, after her peak working time.
  10. It leaves more questions than I can answer, explain?
  11. scales common occurance
  12. Its probably the marketing and premium prices along with the name to hide what is actually a simple product. Bio is used with eco and tech alot to persuade potential customers its good., I avoid these names but cannot comment on on this product as Ive never even looked at it. I Recycle everything possible and my ash goes on the garden along with chainsaw shavings in the compost.
  13. And poplar sap.
  14. Aye thats a quarter of the working day gone, faffing with food/rest. Night time is for these.
  15. This one? His videos make me feel like an awesomely efficient logging machine!! How much double, treble, handling does he need to do? He makes me feel like I dance with fiskars and jive with a chainsaw. However we should send these viral on a social network then no one would consider firewood easy or cut priced.
  16. I have changed you to who, it looks like a predictive error on his phone "He's quite right. " OMTC comment based on his experience having worked with a few duff brits. Which I have also, I reckon 9 out of 10 brits I've worked with have very bad work ethic/capability. I have also worked with sly/lazy poles and excellent poles. Hence OMTCs comment:- Its a shame this got stirred up as a petty debate because OMTCs Last comment is very valid. Im ashamed to be British sometimes.
  17. Its bleedingly obvious that tree is preggers!! Mr Goaty PHD treebiology
  18. That and many other comments and actions, not ergronomic working at all poor lad. I dont think he had much grasp of wood structure/behaviour either, whacking wood without a firm no give base is harder work.
  19. I have encouraged customers to buy in the summer unseasoned to ensure not only do they have seasoned wood but they have it in stock when they need it. As for the apocalypse comment. Go like the oil producers with an escalating fixed price market. Which seems to be illegal in fair competition unless you deal in oil or energy:confused1:
  20. Absolutely brilliant. Made me laugh. Then people say immigrants are of no use!!
  21. I haven't the inclination to watch the whole thing, but he specialises in cracks from around the 6 to 9 minute mark. He could be in the lunge thread if we got a good clip swinging his maul. If my wood took as much splitting I'd be doing something else.
  22. Bit of a broad question you need to look at volumes really. Someone may sell a doublecab with greedy boards load, then another sell a single cab load with just up to the sides level load. Also a transit type or 4x4 pickup is a different size.
  23. Are you refering to the maul, possibly wrong peicture I thinkk the x46 is this maul.
  24. Just beaten by a day. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/65569-9000hours-carving-single-trunk.html
