Place I'm at the moment resembles a swamp.Started off was mossy and bit of grass and weeds now it's sloppy,dirty iron ore filled mud up to my knees does America have ppe regulations like us Brits?

Could try an old 034 stihl light fairly small but pack a blinking good wallop and will drive an 18 inch bar fine.pick them up pretty cheap too.I use mine all the time and love it
-
Not to sound horrid but if you can't figure out from the above descriptions how to cut with a 15" bar you want nothing with a more powerful saw.I don't want to read another accident thread dude.there no joke powerful saws,the 15" will get it do the cut roll and join the cuts again,then wedge it open with a wedge pop saw in and go for the little bit in middle. I've had to do just as big with a 16" before when my main saw died

I've got an ambundance of large diameter tires up in Cumbria if anybody wants any. And if axe is getting stuck try keeping it blunt as a bollock.Also speed and weight of axe are a commonly overlooked issue.the hand sliding to the shaft needs to be fast.And if your back starts hurting then do more abdominal exerciss as your core is too weak
-
If you can roll it cut thru half way, get a few hands or a levering pole roll the old girl Over and continue the cut that should do it bud.Dont ever feel silly asking questions.Ask a question and feel a fool for a moment,never ask and be a fool all your life is way I look at it.

my thoughts exactly,woods hardly easy to source.The customers over the years are really starting to get extremely un appreciative,but hey if they want to pay D.I.Y store prices go let them Ive give up loosing sleep over it
-
if quoted a price via previous conversation it always boils my goat,when they start welshing on the price. cheap stacking price that hodge.If customer is old,frail or disabled then i would never moan about helping them.Usually you find its the young uns which are the laziest
-
just noticed that myself haha spot on
-
That's a great lil bus fella.

Thanks for hairdyer tip Dave.Just got an old l200tipper with som previous vinyl writing on.Aye do use powerlifting lifts for strongman training squat deadlift and bench,use a bit of Olympic lifts in my training too.
-
I've been lookig into a few of the forestry development grants for this reason alone,I'd have to deer wire my entire land tho as the little blighters sure lve to nibble the young saplings haha. Littletree thank you for the very helpful info,I have found a good way in at th local builders merchant,my friend works on the counter and they are flogging loads of burners and chimneas,for every sale of one he hands them my flyer Hopefully that should help a bit.Thanks again everyone for you well thought out replies.
-
I was considering the barrow bags also.Look really easy to move about compared to the massive builders sacks.My local papers prices a really high aswell and just couldn't factor that into my business plan just yet. Anybody us facebook succesfuly?
-
Thanks davtaz.I never thought of google map it sounds like it should be worth a go.I'm just happy I have stockpiled a really good amount of wood and it's all seriously seasoned.So hopefully the customers should be happy any tips on bags or nets?and in your opinions which look better to the customer?
-
Thanks J.laminated sign in window of vehicle as I type and ordered cards from vistaprint 250 for nothing but shipping of £3 87 thought that was very reasonable. I'm lucky with the land my lane is on the only road in and out of my town,I was just concerened with advertising then maybe getting broke into again...or am I just being paranoid haha?
-
Would you recommend proper sign writing or the stick on magnetic ones? I was only on a small scale to locals and family friends,but after nearly ending in prison I now have no choice but self employment.I have four acres of land and storeage and just want to take this sucker to the sky.So any help from you guys is priceless and greatly apprceiated thank you
-
Cheers lorry and Steve I'll try a search and see what it yields.I only post from my i phone so not sure if this little thing will have capabilities to search.
-
Hey folks,was just wondering what your prefferd method of advertisement was and which yielded best results.I'm on a shoestring budget,and sadly alot of "quality" log suppliers have popped up in my area and I wish to open up to a larger audience.And get the word out alot more I've tried the supermarket notice boards and local store windows,and there are posters up all over the noticboards in the local shipyard. I am flapping incase my sales hit any lower
-
All this lot is makng my head spin haha
-
I'd go with what renewablejohn said. Don't let The gloomy busy bodies get you down bud.Play the temporary Structure card and they can't do jack.tried I with me once didn't hold in court
-

-
Aye get em split now.Much easier to split and as everyone said it willseason alot quicker.for the amount you got I'd just use an axe or maul if you have one lying about
