    Very useful Rhob will try some tomorrow stick em in the shed a see what the results are. Will give anything a go and see what happens

    My thought to. What would you treat them with to be food friendly and wont kill the customer
  3. NoRush
    Muttley would that work on different woods or just certain types. I get the feeling this one is going to be a right pain. Do you think I should offer planked boards in different shapes. Would make life easer. Yea Rob D just what i'm thinking

    The latest on these bread boards. Spoke to the customer today and it turns out they are Steak boards for putting cooked steaks on. They want them round so not boards but end cuts about 8 to 10 inch diameter. How can I dry them without splitting

    Thanks all. I guess at the moment i'm doing right. I just want to make sure they last and treat them well. I got the whole set up for a good price so should make me some extra cash. As for the aspen idea I did think of using it as I use it in my 346 and hedge cutter but the amount of fuel it uses wouldn't make it profitable (not at 16quid for 5 litres) until I get a good market for the wood. Thanks again very useful information.

    My mistake I use one of them litre 2 stroke oils with the measuring chamber on top. Does the 075 need anything extra as it was made in the days of leaded fuel to make it live longer like classic cars need an additives in the fuel

    I have 2 stihl 075 on my mill and just been reading the instruction manual and it say oil to fuel ratio is 1:40 with stihl oil. The more I read the confused I get. Been running all my saws and stuff on 25:1 for 20 odd years with no problem (stihl and husky). I was thinking that as these were older machines which had run on leaded do they need a bit more oil in the mix. Do I need to make a separate mix for the 075. Will they be ok on the same mix as the rest or will I damage the Any advise would be helpful

    Thanks Muttley that's what I've heard but don't know for sure. Thanks Big Beech I was always told they were ash and I worked in a butchers shop for a couple of years a long time ago. Never to old to learn something new. What would you use that's allergy safe. Thanks for you advice so far been very useful

    I got plenty of oak and sweat chestnut but I read somewhere that they are no good because of the tanning in them or something like that. Good for bread boards. I know the butchers blocks are made of ash. Would the spalting on the beech be a proplem

    keep it as a side line to your main business. Its only seasonal and there's so many out there selling logs sometimes it aint worth it. If you want start small and buy stuff when you make money. Don't go to big to quick. A 25 ton of cord will cost you between £1400 and £1600 delivered so not much money in it after you saw it, split it, stack it and deliver it. O don't forget the bad back and the customers that know everything about firewood and want a deal for cash and free stacking

    Thanks Tom that helps a lot. I got a 4ft x 10ft trunk of beech so that should make a few boards
  12. NoRush
    Been asked to make some boards for a posh chain of pubs in my area for serving food on (burgers in a bun I think). Will find out on Monday. The question is I know Ash is the best wood for the job but I have none but I do have a load of spalted beach ready milled. Would this be suitable. Also these boards are going to be about 6inch x 10inch x 1inch thick. What do you think I should charge per board and and treat them with. Food safe of course Any help and advice would be a great

    Split it now. Store in a sunny windy area with a cover over the top but not the sides will be ready for winter. Wood does not need a year to dry if split and stored correctly like it says in the book
  14. NoRush
    Cut with a chainsaw and filled with fresh air. Will send u a bill later
  15. NoRush
    I've tried it and it works well. When moving my woodchip pile in winter i zig zaged a heavy duty hose through it conected one end to the tap. I just wanted to see what sort of heat i could get and was quite surprised. You couldnt hold your hands under it it was that hot. I would surgest some sort of heat exchanger due to the enviroment you are getting the heat from or just a heating system so you dont take all the heat out of your wood chip. There is one downside the heat will only last about 6 to 8 weeks then you have to start again

    Check all fuses. I had similar problems on a mini digger. The spade fuse broken but still connected. Was a git to find out because the fuse worked until u wiggled it

    God he keeps himself busy. Do you think he has a chainsaw licence
  18. NoRush
    Who is the Tree Surgeon who valued it. Love to know how much he charged to fell the tree

    Switch your lights on when running (at night). Fom tickover rev your engine and see if your lights get brighter. If they do your battery is knacked if not the alternator. A simple quick test

    That's being eco friendly NOT

    it may be your right to vote but what happens when the person/party you want to vote for are a usless bunch of morons no better than the others. I want to vote but why. Who ever gets in does what they want to do or should i say what the EU tells them what to do
  22. NoRush
    They dont like to work hard for what is free. Strange
  23. NoRush
    Stick all the pop near the gate. Works for me and gets rid of the rubbish. They don't like to work hard when it free
  24. NoRush

  25. NoRush
    Is that just from burning wood or coal as well. My dads greenhouse boiler chimney gets like that but due to burning coal
