  1. that was 87, did the same sort of thing to many trees but in a less uniform way. Good thread
  2. try this one... irritated tax official " Dont you keep any records" innocent business person "Yes, I keep Elvis and the wife keeps Barry Manilowe"
  3. if it was absolutely vertical, I think you could argue that it was plumb, so possibly there is:001_tongue:
  4. Get your screwdriver in the thermostat and leave a glossy woodburner brochure on the table by the TV, 14-16 degreesC I reckon youd have it in within a month:biggrin:
  5. I suspect that even 30 mm mild steel would succumb to the bending forces involved in log splitting, depending on the Ram size of course and the expected duty cycle. Far better to go for EN24 which is as tough as old boots. EN24T Flat & Round - Delivered Nationwide by West Yorkshire Steel Co Ltd
  6. similar to above, perhaps a tougher steel would be a subsioler leg, theres usually one for sale at any farm auction, or any Ag dealers yard would be worth a try. Subsoilers have a replaceable wearing part call the shin which comes already the right shape, as opposed to a one bevel shape like a baler knife
  7. Youve got a better eyestrain tolerance than me then John, I couldnt even find the correct site, let alone trawl through it all again:biggrin: Not a bad idea artificially drying, depends on loading and unloading, thankfully I dont do logs (well only a few).
  8. Ben, how did you load it, Im thinking you cant travel with a log rack, and was it into bags, if so how many for the days work Thanks Rod
  9. Is 904 a recognised grade of stainless?
  10. put the blowtorch on it for a few seconds and smell (just my cranky idea, not an official test method)
  11. I have a chart which states at 13%moisture Maritime Pine 680 Yew 700 Aleppo Pine 810 don't ask me about the trees cos I know nothing, I can just about identify a Yew.
  12. Awesome Landmark, when I went there a young lad played his pipes in the cave.
  13. I recall reading somewhere in the RHI literature that drying woodchips is expressly excluded from the scheme
  14. Hi Al, Ive sent you a text, hope it comes out better than my video Rod
  15. Chipping my woodpile My first unsuccessful video upload!
  16. it was that light fingered git who should have been carefully locked up not your gear
  17. Awesome kit, they are somehwere near Blandford, Ben Nicholson is in Surrey, not quite such a big machine, but easily 200t per day in big material.
  18. Correction 800mm high by 1210 mm wide
  19. Al, there is a guy called Ben Nicholson who has a Heizo that I think takes 500 mm crane fed etc, have you many tonnes to do ?
  20. Copford Mill?
  21. I had a markII for a good while, ahead of their time but JCB soon filled the gap. Personally the sloping nose doesnt do it for me.
  22. you wouldnt be oveweight with a months worth of "chippings" in the box, till they weighed the seam engine:001_smile:
  23. I think from the front of the saw, hopefully someone will confirm
