  1. Put it in a cardboard box, write "sweeties" on it! :sneaky:
  2. If you could get the likes of Honey Brothers, Clarks, FR Jones etc to stock aspen and ship it at the usual shipping rates...
  3. It can tip just fine as it is, that was a no cost optional extra! I've towed a trailer of over ten times the vehicle weight without issues, but there's no legal limit, so the possibilities are endless really.
  4. I tried to google " small tomedium" (must be an exotic tree?) yesterday to find it said "small to medium".
  5. Seems odd to me. "I bought it a year ago for no reason and I've never used it because I don't know how to" ????
  6. I for If I for I R for remember C for Correctly IIRC= I f I R emember C orrectly.
  7. If I Remember Correctly. IIRC.
  8. If you can see it, screw an m5 bolt into it and just pull up on the bolt.
  9. I normally lay until its too warm to wear long sleeves and start again when it gets too cold to.
  10. I've got a new vehicle! I was after all the usual, plus a bit more! I needed: -space to carry my saws, axes ropes and kettle. -space to carry two kids to school, and sometimes they want to bring home a friend or two. -Easy to drive for the missus as well. So no Mog. -must carry a load of logs when needed. -must be able to turn around in small spaces. So no landrover. -must be as fuel efficient as possible. -must not get stuck or must have the ability to get out of any trouble it gets in. So no transit or Ldv van. -must be ultimately reliable. So nothing older than 5 years old. -Must not make me look like a w@nker so nothing that has "thunder", "invincible" "warrior" or any other street-hero rubbish written on it. -must convey the right image to the customer "we care about the work, not just your money" And I got it all! Plus I pay no road tax, peanuts to insure, I have an super-extended range thanks to the extra large fuel tank. It runs on most fuels, available anywhere. Parts are cheap and readily available. I love it! I'll get it sign written before long. Ps I didn't choose the flowers, my daughters put them on.
  11. If only there was a search facility on Arbtalk.... http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=33788
  12. My twin five year olds (and their mum..) made me a cake with bright green icing and trees on the top... Meatball trees! (On top of spaghetti, all covered in cheese....)
  13. It's just underneath the handle assembly. If you look underneath the saw you'll see the pipe from the oil tank to the pump just under the part of the handle assembly that runs front to back under the saw. Pull out the hose, sprocket side (starter side is the tank) then you can use a normal metric thread bolt (m6 if memory serves?), to screw into the pump and just pull it up and out. Easy job, but note which way round it goes so that when you put a new one in its the right way around. I have a spare slightly used one, pm me your address if you want it.
  14. But then a huge market would improve the efficiency of the supply chain, driving the cost down. From what I understand, the actual cost of producing aspen is (if the statement before is true, 15% more cost to refine) only about 3p more per liter. Which means that unless we're all being ripped off in a grand way, the supply and distribution chain is what's driving up the cost?
  15. Not happy with that post! I just spend precious seconds trying to find out what kind of tree a "Tomedium" is!
  16. Young hawthorn leaves are the best thing for your cheese sandwich. Fresh and slightly nutty with extra added health benefits. (Good for the heart)
  17. Did the fluff stop the saw?
  18. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=37975
  19. Nope, fuel duty is per litre. VAT is per retail price.
  20. Would the kind people of Aspen be willing to share a similar cost breakdown?
  21. Even the Poles wouldn't use pine to lay a keel. Trees have been grown for keels beams and other curved timbers on ships for probably many centuries. The normal method would be to crowd trees to get them growing straight, then when they'd reached a certain height/girth clear enough space around your selected specimens to encourage growth out, not up. The amount of curve could then be managed mainly by pruning the surrounding trees.
  22. Landslide, flood, avalanche type event.
  23. Fill the oil tank with petrol, make sure the oiler is turned to max and use it for a bit, (a spark arrestor is probably advisable, but a bar of fire is very cool as well and does not burn long)
  24. Is it an Argos kitchen surface?
  25. Denmark does not have many trees, but it's not just trees that can be burnt. Problem is Denmark does not have that much of anything really, they import waste to burn in their incinerators, they import straw to burn as biomass. Though phasing out fossils seems a good plan, if it means depending on the neighbours supplying waste and biomass (produced by wasteful use of fossil fuel...) it's not really an improvement, or is it?
