the crafty weasel

Good for stopping tailgaters at night as well

Keep an eye out in Lidl/Aldi for one, their prices are very competitive and it's the only place you'll get a free three year warranty. go to their website and sign up for the weekly newsletter, gives you all the special buys

Yeah I'm waiting to see the consultant about it and get the op booked. Only 25 but got it in both hands

I've got one, planning on painting it up and signwriting the business name onto it, then have it sat in a log on the tradestand.

Will take logs/lengths and chip, will also collect logs/lengths- Llwyndrain, North Pembrokeshire (SA35) PM me if interested

A good little trick that I use rather than a chain wrench on ram collars is to use a length of old cambelt around the collar, then grip the ends of it with a mole grips. the grips will then tighten the belt the more torque you apply.

Basketmaking shelter I built, but will be building a similar woodstore at home soon. Built from ash poles. all dowelled joints, there isnt a single nail in it Roof is willow whips laid on the purlins, layer of bracken (cut out of spore season), layer of black poly, and another layer of bracken, with some slabwood to stop the wind lifting it. you can see i'm halfway through wattling the end to give a bit more shelter.

No special treatment, just change the engine oil after the first ten hours use

Quick video of the small scale processing set up that we run. You might also be interested in the combination logsplitter/crane that I made out of a conventional splitter for handling dumpy bags- it's at the end of the video somewhere.

I sell by the builders bag. I can drag them around by myself, as it's mostly oak and beech I have this year I don't think I'd be able to handle a cubic metre bag. plus there's the issue of cost on the bag. I can buy 0.65m3 bags from a local quarry for £2.50 each, and seeing as I season my stuff before it's bagged I don't really have to worry about ventilation.

I have no idea about the flow rates and pressures that handlers deliver so ignore me if this is way off the mark- how about fitting a hydraulic motor to your sawbench/splitter and making up an adaptor plate to hold the bench on the boom linkage? that way you could drop the sawbench off and use pallet forks etc pretty easily.

And some more... 1980 Mini pick up 1928 Kohler model 'D' generator Lister D type with water and vacuum pump, and collection of milking and dairy memorabilia

I mentioned in my international post that i'd stick some pics up of things i've collected/done up, so here it is. Enjoy. 1955 Austin A30 1948 Lister Junior and Corn mill, restored and painted and fitted on green oak frame 1952 Petter W1H and water pump Winget cement mixer as bought

I do it for the wood. I work in Castell Henllys, the iron age hillfort next door to pengelli, so i get to use whatever timber i need so long as i'm tidy about it, plus i have a section that i'm thinning for personal timber/firewood for sale.

Rigid axles and wheels from an old static caravan, and the wire isn't for strength, just a jungle wire to allow whippy stuff to slide over the top of the arch without snagging.
