I show my log pile to prospective women. Give them an axe and tell them to get on with it. Recently single again.

Could you expand? At first glance it just looks like he’s exchanging liability for labour and it’s working nicely. Not being arsey. Genuinely interested in the rationale behind why it’s not as good an idea as it seems.

Bottle lid seals designed for water will degrade rapidly from petrol. You need a lid designed for fuel.

I used to work in a shop with a bloke called Steve. He used to go out at lunchtimes to visit a friend. "An horologist, don't you know, young Alex." Made it sound aufy grand. It was the bloke from the watch battery counter in Debenhams. They could apparently sink five pints each in a lunch hour and he'd always smartly waft in the front door fifteen seconds before he was due to relieve me, like clockwork if you'll excuse the pun. Just enough time to the second to put his brown leather jacket on the hook upstairs so I could get off for lunch punctually. Fond memories. Always liked Steve.

The person whose input could really benefit this thread is Benedict Edmonds. I've learnt more about business from him than from anyone else on arbtalk.

And a horologist. Talented fellow.

Ford manufacture.

I concur. They're the only chainsaws from a general building tool maker that are actually a chainsaw (as opposed to a tool that looks like a chainsaw and broadly works like a chainsaw but is nevertheless not a proper chainsaw).

And consider Makita equivalents if you already have batteries but you’d probably want to consider moving anything over to 1/4” picco. How fine do the cuts need to be? Curious about the whole process to be honest. Would be delighted if you did a thread on it and other fruit production matters.

Put your local parish councillors in it and drop it in a lake.

A 120 would be a joy because of the lightness but will frustrate on power at 6” (3” would be fine, 4” tolerable). A 200 would be a joy because of the power but only if you’re strong enough to position it for what presumably need to be quite precise cuts. Depends how strong you are and how ergonomic it is to make the cuts. Sixty cuts a hundred times sounds like a lot of cuts to me. That’s assuming you want battery, which for stop start work I would strongly recommend. If you can walk two paces from cut to cut (so don’t need to be constantly stop starting or having the saw wastefully idling) and want petrol power, 150 backhandle.

Ways to estimate a tree species' DBH at a certain age
AHPP replied to BotanyGem's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
And what conclusion will you be coming to? -
Does anyone know what effect ethanol content has on petrol’s susceptibility to detonation? Will high ish compression engines run on regular start knocking soon?

I’m currently sat looking at one in my garden, full of half seasoned conifer and apple. I retrieved it from the woods out the back, from a hugely inconvenient hollow surrounded by hugely inconvenient vegetation. I can only assume kids dragged it in there for fun (plus the half a mile from the supermarket). Were I recruiting logisticians, I’d begin with the local urchins. Very impressive.
-
Thorough and helpful answer. Much obliged. My first thought was plait it, which I now see the problem with. My second thought was make two hedges with a six foot gap between them but I'm getting the idea that that's nearly as pointless because one side of each hedge wouldn't get animal trimmed.
-
The laboriousness aside, why wouldn’t/couldn’t a wide hedge be plaited at its current width? Light not getting to the middle?

Maximum possible reduction of large Oak
AHPP replied to George01's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
That’s absolutely terrible advice. The tree officer’s cousin will do the work, do a shit job, charge fifteen times the going rate and then both of them will go round to the house of his sainted aunt and spit in her face. -
That’s the archetype of a bs website. The state is the most egregious incompetent and liar out there.
-
Probably one of your ghastly neighbours thinking that they can save their ash from dieback if they kill yours (or some similar joined up thinking). These allotment woodlands attract the absolute worst people.

Some grotty photos for you to look at (scored piston content)
AHPP replied to Darkslider's topic in Chainsaws
Fix it. The first job you do with it will pay for the repairs. Consider the matter annoying but closed. Move on. -
I can’t be the only tree bloke happy working above ground where I can see targets but worried about hitting buried utilities underground. I’d always get a handsomely insured bona fide subcontractor for stump grinding.
-
Ah. Hadn’t considered planing.

Could the radiator have been leaking slowly but the drips have been caught by the under engine tray? I’ve got a driveshaft leak (I think) on my van but the oil sits and congeals on the tray rather than showing itself on the driveway.
