Nice! Just wondering why you stack with the bark up? I was told that (if you are going to pay attention to such details) to stack the other way up, so that the moisture can evaporate out the top rather than being "caught: by the bark lid (says it like that in my Granny B axe book)

Excactly! but as there is no proper direct Dutch translation of "mocking" I thought to supply you with the nearest available:thumbup1:

I meant no offense my friend, I'm afraid what you did whas excactly what I said it was: mocking (To make (something) seem laughably unreal or impossible). It does not have as much negative connotations as you seem to attach to the word though. In Dutch the closest would be "plagen", not "pesten".

You could ask these guys how much they want for this one on mascus

Ok, so now we've learned that women are better at smelling sweat than men, good for them. Back to the question: "are trees sentient beings, your thoughts please" There is obviously no scientific evidence to suggest they are, I do know several people however that are quite sensitive to "moods" of trees. I've seen people get physically sick when we gathered under a certain old oak, only to be told later by the land owner that that happens to quite a few of his visitors on that spot. They used to hang people on that tree... I've seen the milking figures of cows housed in places where the dowser said cows shouldn't be placed being significantly less than their neighbours. There are things that have not been explained by man, the urge to ridcule what we don't understand is strong, even Gerrit's first reaction was to mock a previous poster. I certainly "feel" in awe when in the prescence of old growth and will happily acknowledge them as sentient beings, it feels right to me.

I paid about £1100, with theory, mock test, etc all included for my cat C three years ago.

Awesome indeed, I like the bit where he says: I wanted something decent for general picture taking and for taking pictures of stuff I wanted to sell on ebay items. ‘I wasn't planning on getting into photography as a hobby but a week later I had about eight lenses and all the other goodies. And the he did that.....

You be wanting a froe

I'm mildly surprised no-one has made any mention of the hardness of the different woods? Butchers' blocks have to deal with chopping, but should not blunt the cleaver. Therefore they use upright blocks of beech as it's strong enough to withstand the blows and not wear too much but not so hard it'll blunt the tools. The edge of the tool will actually part the fibres a bit, creating a bit of "bounce" to preserve the edge. For home use this is equally relevant but most peoples kitchen knifes are horibly blunt anyway so it often goes unnoticed.

You're right, but I thought uni-students were meant to be struggling financially? Not hopping across to Austria as and when? Apologies for the multitude of spelling mistakes in the above post:blushing:

Probably yes, but does it have "Laser" written on the side, NO! So let the boy have his toy. Offcourse the forementioned stick, straight edge+angle iron or app could do the same but: could they do it quite as easy and accurate? If that extra inch of accuracy matters then it may well be a justified expense. I personally don't think that level of accuracy is called for, surely it doesn't matter if it is going to miss the Bentley by half an inch, you're going to want it moved well out the way.

:lol:

Erm, it's in Vienna, wich tends to be in Austia so "as and when" wouls eem out of the question:confused1:

They're much easier to stack as billets, allowing more airflow through thus drying quicker. I know you have more cut surface when in logs but the decreased airflow (esp in bigger piles) counteracts that advantage. The other benefit is that if you're not using a prcessor you can split a lot more when billeting as you can split 4 log-lengths at once rather than splitting those 4 logs individually. If you'r mildly sorted cutting to logs is not much more work as there's still the same amount of wood to cross-cut. It does depend on how easy the wood splits but I'm all for billets:thumbup:

I reckon their both frauds, seeing as they both have 0 feedback and both have just the same listing with the same engine hours etc and the same spelling mistakes. They're also quite obviously pictures of the same machine TIMBERWOLF TW150DHB WOOD CHIPPER KUBOTA DIESEL | eBay and TMBERWOLF TW150DHB WOOD CHIPPER DIESEL | eBay

What he said, the 7,5 tonner course and test are the same as the full rigid (28t?). For now just get your B+E, if you're a good confident driver you can just take the test or get a few hours training to do the "monkey tricks" the examiners are trained to look for (like looking in your mirrors as if they have nipples , indicating the full 300yards before turning etc.) and you'll pass for £250.

I cycle my daughters to shool every day, one on the front, and the other on the back. I make sure to ride as if I were four abreast! It is simply to ensure that when there are vehicles coming from both behind and towards you, the person wanting to overtake HAS to wait till there is enough space. If I do not take this simple (but sometimes annoying to cars in a rush) measure I put my life in the hands of ignorant drivers who believe bikes should bu@@er off, and I'd rather see my children grow up than dig graves for them. If that does offend anyone on the road -wich it sometimes does- people in cars tend to use "less eloquent" ways of expressing their displeasure. I'm sure that if any of those car drivers would be in my position and had to make the same choice they would get to the same conclusion as I did: Our safety before your potential minor inconvenience! heard this at the school gate one morning as a mum unloaded her daughter out of the range rover: "mummy why can't we walk to school?> We can't, there's too many cars!"

a trail day or a trial day?

This of interest to anyone? Ebay

I'd not want it made in steel. Make it in wood, but a bit more substantial than what you've knocked up to try out. You'll not need to worry about touching steel with the chain, especially when you're near the bottom. You can change it a lot easier if you reckon you want it 4"higher or lower etc.

Get the Sugoi 420. As it sounds like you won't be using using it all day everyday the minor inconveniance of the bigger moves needed when pulling it out of the sheath won't be an issue. The Sugoi can be resharpend (though it's not that easy to get right to begin with) the Ibuki cannot. The Silky saws wont snap unless you abuse the badly. They are designed to cut on the pull stroke so for it to snap you'd have to be able to pull a few tons I'd imagine. The sugoi is a bit cheaper. The Sugoi has more teeth than the Ibuki, resulting in a finer cut and it's easier on the old arms unless you're only using it near the bigger end of it's spectrum. A word of warning that will echo with many on here though, the silky saws are superb tools but DANGEROUS!! All you need to do is brush past a bit of skin lightly and your working day is over as you'll be off to get some stitches.

FFS, Gerrit and Tony! Stop childishly bullying the poor yank, he does his best doesn't he? He might be less informed or in need of having his views altered slightly, but this is usually best achieved gently in my experience. I know neither of you are very likely to admit you're wrong (except to each other, and no I'm not suggesting you are, most of this is going way over my head) but let the guy have a break lads, he saw what he thought was an issue and suggested a solution. So perhaps he needs glasses there's no need to mock him for that fact though is there?

Looked a nasty little knock, the view of the medic at his head in the last few seconds however, looks quite pleasant indeed.
