  1. ? Genius! What an exciting project Jonno, please keep us posted. Is it expensive to buy Woodland out there?
  2. No worries. We were a bit relentless but there was absolutely no malice.
  3. I'm sure all our comments are tailored to his needs.
  4. I charge £10/ton standing but it is not generally 20 year old thinnings. Also the contractor is a friend who always goes the extra mile to do the jobs to spec. £20/ton doesn't sound outrageous given your description of the stand.
  5. At least wood cutter doesn't seamstressed.
  6. Definitely seems to be a pattern developing.
  7. Sometimes we behave ourselves, sometimes we don't. It shuttles back and forth.
  8. I get a Mr Honeypot from Steeple Bumstead. He has no idea what I'm going on about and has asked me not to call him again.
  9. Nice to see Bob's keeping up with the pole vault practice.
  10. A tad harsh. Are you more of a tuba man yourself?
  11. Traitor! That's the last time I let you inspect my warhead.
  12. Yeah?! Well me and Mick are going to nuke the civilised world.
  13. On relatively hard ground it stays put. On softer ground I put a strap under the foot which loops around the base of the tree, underneath the gob obviously.
  14. Yup, they are exceedingly strong, but you'd surprised what you can achieve with a small brain and a 'see what happens' attitude. I bent mine attempting to defy the laws of physics on a humungous Ash. I actually have two of them but have lost one in the Wood somewhere.
  15. I'v got one of those tree pusher over things. It is very good. Don't get too cocky with it, mine is currently in the make things the right shape again shop.
  16. The curse of all foresters, butt rot There's some very effective creams available these days, over the counter.
  17. Nice vid! Have you tried doing a letterbox through the hinge? I fell mostly Ash and was getting a lot of barber chairs. The letterbox sorted it all out.
  18. The service providers may be being pushed to notify people of their usage. Social media usage is causing some big problems, especially for young girls. Loneliness, self harm and suicide rates are way up.
