  1. Did you ever sell this-i'd be interested to know the price
  2. never used one though i wonder whether it would split big lumps of something harder to split than birch- anyone here tried one?
  3. i only ever had kick back when i did my cs31 ticket- after the examiner told me i'd passed- theres a lesson there:blushing:
  4. Isn't this their chance to get some experience:001_huh:
  5. 4.5% woodland in this country Is that really true including all the small parcels of woods that i see every day driving around. The govt. have identified a growing demand for people to own woodland and aim to benefit from this- for us hopefully Sell it in parcels of 5 acres at £5000 per acre so 600'000 acres becomes 3billion pounds. Not a bad sum and woodland still protected by law.
  6. It's not going to be easy as put yourself in your neighbours shoes- would you move to a residential area and put up with too much noise/ vehicle movements. Do what I did years ago- just do it/ keep on good terms with your immediate neighbours and hope no one complains. If you go through planning I reckon someone will object! Getting a farmer to sell you a piece of land for you to erect shed could be your best bet but planning will still want to know. The other option is to buy an industrial unit and pay business rates- these are not too high- it allows you to conduct your business with your head held high- you can recoup the cost of the unit when you sell making it effectively rent free. Business rates with rate relief about £80-200 per month depending on size and council. It's just great to have your business separate from you home and be free from landlords.
  7. Good to hear your rant Dilz Seems to me though you are a soft touch Stop it
  8. seasoned apple wood logged delivered £100 per cube collected £90 see what happens most log firms are running flat out
  9. would you cook your chips in mineral oil plant oil is the way forward Sunflower is the cheapest £1.25/litre
  10. so gas fumes won't so petrol fumes won't so oil femes won't It'll be alcohol fumes next- passive drinking:001_tt2:
  11. Just wondering if setting up a blower/fan would satisfy the gas men- blow all the gas away- These guys -given the job of making everything safe and just go at it 110% to make themselves appear indespensible.
  12. has to be stella unless she isn't helped by the others sugar thinks she's sweet
  13. i've used these hydraulic splitters and whilst they seem good to start with they don't split as well- more tearing. Plus toooo slooooowwwwww there's also a lot of lifting up to do. Not my choice at all- sold mine in the end
  14. brilliant and exciting all that detail be sure to post some photos of what you see and we'll guess what it is. I Know you're going to anyway- i'd like to see/know more about the cambium layer
  15. we knew he was going to f... up too didn't we boys and girls.
  16. can't understand why those sawdust log things are so expensive Its a waste product / doesn't look like or burn like a log/ cost extortionate/ I would pay about 30pence a log if I didn't have my own wood - that price would seem about right- about 300 ecologs for £100- yup- that's about right
  17. on some stoves you just wind in the handle a turn and the door closes more firmly
  18. hehe- You're probably right now the cold weather has really got everyone panicked about supplies
  19. that sounds a good idea- i.e. carving chain:thumbup1:
