there was a mk 1 Escort that sold at auction in Holland a couple of years back, it was type of complete, it had been stood outside for near on 30yrs so had vast amounts of rot, which i would of said was far beyond salvage, vin number was 0000000004 so number 4 off the production line, it made 48000 euro !!

You will find that all training courses and assessments today carry a lot of H&S which is not a bad thing in todays world as they dont make common sence any more, When the younger lads say to me, i dont know how to do that, i just say you do as you did it on your training course and you did it in your assessment,, i think most of it is done/said and covered in the assessment so as if any thing was to happen at a later date and that said pearson was issued a certificate, they cant really go back to there employer and say i was not shown that ??

If it was for the National trust i would think it would be a NPTC assessment and yes he would of been told that you dont chip dead wood, dead wood reacts very differently to green wood in many situations, my chipper dont like dead wood at all and with a few Ash die back jobs of late the amount of times a piece or chunk of wood has come flying out the in feed skip is unreal compared to green wood and if your stood in the wrong place they can hurt, we felled a woodland a few year back that was all dead Sycamore and to be honest i did not enjoy it one bit as when they hit the deck they just explode and limbs seem to fly every where,,

I think from the 70s there was quite few and the biggest ones that I can remember are Osmosis Crazy Horses, all about big cars with big engine polluting the sky,s, this msg is near 50 Yr ago now and wouldn't you thought more would of been done by now ??, Sex Pistols Anarchy in the UK very true of what was going on in the UK at the time, bin men, miners, train drivers and British Leyland all on strike, then people ask what happened to our industry ?, then came the true version of God save the Queen and this along with Anarchy in the UK very much sumed up the state the UK was in, Late 60s Bonzo doo dahe dog band, I'm the urban space man, Neil hinds got the idea for the song as he walked to work across manchester and the urban spaces he had played on as a kid where either built on or where being built on, and now I think urban spaces in most towns are long gone ,,

Is this just for the 80s and 90s as they go back long before that ??

hello looking for free wood please
spuddog0507 replied to Clivenovice's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Finding wood on the roadside or what's been cut in the woods !! That is theft,, every thing in life is owned by some one and some company, land owners and contractors take the issue of people just helping there self's quite seriously today, so be very very careful, I for one would not be happy if you stole timber from us but would you be happy if I stole your hard earned cash or came and helped myself to your logs out of your log store ? I am sure you would,not be happy, friend of mine has a theft case in progress at present, but when some idiot walk,s in to a wood land on the edge of dark helping his self and is picked up on a night vision sight on a riffle By deer management team !! Land owner asked the said culprit if you had knocked on my door dropped me £50 you could if filled your boots, -
What do you call large trees ? 80/90/100 ft tall 600,700,800mm DBH, there is more to it than just cutting it all to a said length, best thing to do is find a buyer and cut to there spec ? but i would think that 12 trees is hardly worth the effort for a timber merchant not with out they are of a very good size and quality, Where you located ?

I so one about 11,15 ish and TBH it was one of the best i have every seen, The moon was a fantastic sight last night as it looked very close and very detailed,,

I have never bought any less than 100ltrs of chain oil or 5ltrs of 2 stroke oil for many years now, just find it so much easier to by in bulk and try to get a better deal on it even if i have to buy more than i want to get the deal, cant be doing with running about for small amounts of chain oil /2 stroke oil, when we get to last 25ltr drum of chain oil i just order more,

Do any of you dry logs in containers made of Weldmesh Panels?
spuddog0507 replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
I used 4 of them a few year back when i had filled all my IBC,s fastened all 4 corners of panels with clamps and zip tied 3x2 uprights about every 2ft on the inside, put pallets on floor and when it was half full put another layer of pallets in and it worked fine, bulged a bit but not much,, -
if its fit to mow for either Hay or silo let some take the grass off it for a bit off money and get the hedge cutting in on the deal, then find some one with some sheep and again rent it off for winter grazing, so let some one else do the work and make a few quid out of it as well,

One of them lines women was very smart as well,,

Well Bugger me backwards we have actually won a game of football with out it going down to penalty,s, Well done to all and very enjoyable to watch, i think the blokes have something to prove now ???
-
It's not going any where and I have a ongoing project for it to go in,

Sorry but we have to come to terms,, that the country can't manage with out them sort of people ?? There is a lot of people out there in all fields of work that get paid good money to do a job they can't Do ,,,

i have my eye on a v2003 thats sat in the corner of a warehouse and has been for 12/15 yrs now, all shrink wrapped down to pallet as it was delivered from Kubota and its £1800, cheep yes,
-
Sounds about right that one, some lads i work with now n then you would think they had been cutting stone flags with there saws,
-
Well thats a bit more like it, had dealings with SEPA in the past and TBH they where not that bad to deal with unlike our EA south of the boarder who seem to be a waste of time and thats if you can get hold of any one who knows what there doing ?
-
If i got a offer of £200 for 3 logs like them, i would rip there hand off and have them loaded and delivered, before they had a chance to change there mind, they are not good or nice logs at all, if they was on a job of ours they would be stacked in the firewood stack, £200 is very very good money for them !!
-
Has it done a lot of hrs ? and the guy i know is just north of Edinburgh, a rebuild kit dont cost much but the labour sometimes makes it a expensive way of doing compared to buying a new engine, Last time i enquired about a new V1505 none turbo the engine was about £2300 + vat,,
-
Andy as most of us know, everything has a sale value !!
-
TBH i think the word ,FREE in cases like this is a little bit cheeky, The offer of a brew and a few chocolate biscuits goes a long way and to drop the lads 20 or 30 quid will go even further and a few added beers even further, Given the present times and as some lads in the industry now start to feel the pinch and the demand for firewood gets greater, it simply gets dropped off at the place where the exchange is fair for both sides,,

Cadburys picknik, but the chocolate has melted off it 😂

Hi first thing did you apply the linseed neat ?, i have all ways under stood with linseed it needs to be thinned down 50/50 with white spirit for it to really get in to the timber, i did 2 walking stick stands before Christmas one i did with linseed oil and the other with Danish oil both oils applied at same rate but the Danish oil made for a better finish,,
