  1. what, a new product?? I know the fumes are better to breathe than regular mix, but this is maybe going a bit far :lol: Other than that, keep up the good work Eddie
  2. A nice medium sized axe is all you need on a lot of stuff and it is easy to use one handed and as has been inferred makes things quicker and easier.
  3. hatchet for kindling, medium sized axe one handed for most rings and a large axe for the bigger lumps. Most wood splits relatively easily so does not need a maul. I find a close look at how the grain runs in the knotty bits will give a good idea of where best to hit it with the axe for a quick result. The handful that are just too lumpy go in the fire pit. Just to qualify - only splitting for own domestic use. Good exercise and as the saying goes - he who splits his wood is warmed twice, he who collects and splits his wood is warmed thrice PS it helps if you are ringing up your own wood to think about where you put the saw through to help with splitting up the more gnarley parts
  4. Hey eggs - going by the definition of a bribe copied below, rushing to finish by ten and perhaps cutting corners in doing so puts you into dodgy ground 3 What is a bribe? A bribe is a financial or other advantage offered or given: - to anyone to persuade them to or reward them for performing their duties improperly or; - to any public official with the intention of influencing the official in the performance of his duties.
  5. where does tea & biccies fall in all this??
  6. would have thought the price on that would need some serious justification from a felling perspective?

  8. and back to the OP - how did things go yesterday - any more wood gone?
  9. you've clearly started her off in the right direction
  10. Sadly I suspect it will just be a slap on the wrist
  11. Thanks Alec. Sounds like a good staring point for our 076av.
  12. Alec, have you found any need to retune the older saws for Aspen?? edit - any other issues with changing over to Aspen
  13. sounds a bit like the BT man we had in a while back - had to phone 1 hr before arrival to request all smoking materials be extinguished and the house ventilated. Great idea for the non-smoker, but he was a twenty a day man himself Oh, and also he could not run the phone line along the eves over the flat roof extension cos he didnt have a flat roof ticket?? He was ticketed to climb up to 15m high ladders without a second person in attendance Its a funny old world :lol:
  14. Congrats on the birth - trust all went well. Not seen your pre-natal work, but liking the post-natal phase Terry
  15. regardless of the elf & safety aspect, kudos to the man for holding that beast of a saw like that for however long it took to cut the boards
  16. uh-oh, santa's sleigh is looking like it might be full of digger toys this year
  17. yup - even got the missus doing it now - result The down side is that every time she reverses my van is at additional risk
  18. also worked with Richard Head - Dick to his mates
  19. Ah - missed it first time around then
  20. mmmm not a lot blocking his view either I'll second the numpty call.
