My neighbour makes charcoal from joinery offcuts (his business is next to a joinery). He's got a retort made of a big barrel, with the top on a slightly conical edge to ensure a snug fit. First thing in the morning he lifts the lid off, loads a 44galllon drum full and drops it inside (he's got a little forklift but you could do it without) and sets it off. Then he goes to work, comes back in the evening and takes the (still hot but burned out and fully converted) drum out, and loads another. Then in the morning he unloads the previous mornings one, reloads etc etc. So he gets two barrels a day from the one kiln.

Whilst they have berries on? I have a few of these, all similar age that are bearing fruit for the first time but are now blossoming again. Is this normal,I've never seen it before (but maybe I wasn't looking?)

The trouble with Youtube videos....
Daniël Bos replied to Arbtech Tree Services's topic in General chat
Same here, the better half was a bit miffed when I suddenly froze mid-action and then went on a little later like nothing had happened, but when I explained to her the move was called "buffering" and porn actors use it all the time she became quite appreciative. -
You could do it on foot a lot faster! By the time you've gone to fetch a machine you'd be finished on foot, an hour tops to do it, twice over at half rate to ensure an even spread.

About 3-4" long, moving fairly rapidly, looks like it has a pair of eyes on its arse?

Surely the above is not that relevant? Yes, it may be if you're moving thousands of tons at a time but 6t will fit in one trailer load as either logs or chip (assuming you have a suitable trailer?) What trailer would you use? Do you have a trailer for both options? How is the chipper powered and would it stay in the woods/ at the tip-site?

It's the larva (technically not a caterpillar) of a (elephant ?) hawk moth.

Seeing as you have "registered customers" could you have a sort of savings scheme? If you get a £1 saved for every £10 spent to be spent on your site as people wish. It would equate to the same discount but more money spent with you (whereas the 10% saved otherwise might be spent anywhere) and would give each individual the bonus goodies they'd like.

You'd hope that wouldn't you... But it still states "website coming soon"

I'm interested now, what "not cheap chinese plonk" cylinder can you buy for £50 minus the cost of a meteor Piston?

Crane on the back for loading a trailer as well. Then a lightweight sideways tipping box.

I bet they're the caravan dwelling, Irish twang speaking, transit van driving sort of bird rescuers? they'll ruin the industry they will:thumbdown: I heard of one bloke who got a quote for a bird-takedown and they said they'd do it for the bird! Left a skip full of feathers and charged a fortune to get rid of them though..

Three days to early or it would have been a year exactly.....

Put a layer of 6mm stokbord over it. You can weld or hot-glue them together quite easily for a long lasting solution. About £30 for an 8x4 sheet but made of recycled plastic so it'll never rot. It's very tough stuff...

Used to have a classic range rover v8 auto, great for towing but it really confused the cruise control at about 50mph, going up even slight inclines it would change down, very annoying. Then had a landcruiser 4.2 turbo auto which was also great as but no cruise so a bit less nervous. The brother currently drives a ssanyong musso (?) with I think a 3l merc auto and its great. If I had to buy a vehicle with a lot of towing to do I'd specify an auto box anytime but would want to test-drive it with a weighted trailer as some are too "nervous" with a heavy trailer.

So the barman says: sorry, we don't serve anything faster than the speed if light! A tachyon walks into a bar.

By collecting the grass as it is cut, the nutrients required to grow that grass are removed from the soil. This means the grass will grow back slower next time, and slower again the time after that etc. I know of one piece of road that is now mowed once a year as opposed to four times a year ten years ago. It saves a lot of money long term. It also makes the verges much more diverse as in general poorer soils make for a more varied vegetation. It's brought the number of hours working roadside down a lot, so it's safer. Poorer growth roadside means less animals grazing roadside= safer. The collected grass is mostly used in bio digesters to make heat and power. Etc I could go on a bit longer, but in The Netherlands it's considered the much better option.

I owned my first chainsaw when I was 13, having used one for a few (don't know how many, it's a while ago...) years previously. I believe age has not much to do with sense... I've seen a fully qualified tree surgeon use an axe in a way that my five year old daughter never would because she instinctively knows it would hurt her.

Well...?

It had ran for maybe two or three hours in total and it ran really nice... I used the clips that came with the kit. I know people often say the clips and rings with the aftermarket kits are of a lesser quality, but the quality of this one seemed really high, a really fine finish on all the castings etc.
-
Good point, the circlip is missing from the bit of piston that snapped off? There's no marks on the pin though, and none on the cylinder where it might have snagged. I'm certain I put it in though, my finger still hurts at the memory of it!

I've just been offered the following: I ship the wreck to Taiwan, postage paid by manufacturer. They examine it. If they find their manufacturing at fault I get paid £300 as a contribution to replace my broken machine. If they find my installing/handling/whatever-ing at fault they pay me £150 for the wreck as I'm not allowed to take any parts other than bar and chain off. (Not even in-related parts) Seems a sound deal to me?
