Bit far for me to collect. You posting?

Swing Mills aren't great for 30cm dbh.

I might be interested. Where are you? What she Run like?

Love those guys!

Yeah I enjoyed it but I meant more like. The point of the sport.? All that work to cut a ft off the top.

It's not unsimilar to the lucas sprocket. Although the lucas has multiple key slots I believe. Can take a picture of my lucas one later of it helps.

I used ti have dewalt years ago. Went over to makita when upgraded to lithium. Thought makita were better then. Now I think dewalt are getting better and makita are getting worse. Id get the dewalt

Where can you watch it now?

I agree. App is easier on a mobile and that's all I ever use.

You only need to sign off with an A mate. Everyone knows its Andy. It's in your username. Cheers K for James

No worries. Glad your happy. Very similar to what I use. Nothing flash but reliable enough.

Id probably offer around £6 on it.

That's the difference in getting a lorry load delivered sold unseen and going and finding a decent 4ft diameter oak. I can't buy decent big oak trees for less than £10 at the minute.

Life is shit of your default is that people want to abuse you. I choose to try to be more positive and try to surround myself by people of a similar ilk.

£10 to 15 on the oak is its good. 5 to 10 on the cherry

Because people choose to live here. It's not a job it's a lifestyle choice.

You only have photos of one side of that tree, but what I can tell it has bent round a metal arch pretty much the same way. Will try to upload a pic after work.

I think you missed his point.

Surely it grew around something that isn't there anymore. Got a similar looking walnut at my place

Communism and community living are two entirely different things. Not sure how you manage to confuse the two? Nothing about my life is communist. I choose to live with other people to share costs, jobs, responsibilities etc. I can choose to buy a house whenever I like. To be honest, unless you want to live with your mum, there is no better place to be able to save money. Yes other people benefit from my efforts. In exactly the same way I benefit from their efforts. I agree that you are making grounds to retirement you may own more things than me by then, but me (or you) chopping logs now, growing veg now, cooking dinner now etc etc doesn't help you when you're old at all. Again. I don't have a contract, nobody is counting hours, not sure who you think could turf me out( maybe Castro or Lenin?) You have Strange outlook on what is voluntary and what is communist. Why would I sell the house I bought at market value for less than market value? Not into giving houses away. Not when I only have one.

In order to keep your firewood production and marketing "as sustainable as possible" Air drying would be a better choice, most kilns are anything but.

Making the news today or four years ago?

If you had an elderly neighbour who needed support would you not help if you could? Working communally and looking out for your community is how things used to work. The newer I'm alright Jack mentality and not knowing your local community other than a cursory nod if you pass in the street is not my ideal and does nothing for many of the issues in todays society.

Again views that you are making based on your assumptions of how things are and not how they actually are. Me cutting firewood to keep my self warm is forced labour(Im not sure who you think is able to force me into anything). You cutting firewood is just a hobby that helps keeps your cost low.Maybe your sad because no one brings you cake while you are doing it. No you don't owe hours. Like I have said many times already nobody is counting hours. You do what NEEDS doing WHEN your are able to do it. Same as you. Don't forget that whilst some of the logs I chop may get used by other people, i also use some of the logs they chop. Whilst the “old guy " who brings me tea may not g free chipping his own logs, he is a very talented musician and a professional music teacher and has taught my kids music etc etc. The two day a week thing is a guide, something that is written on a website as an easy way to try to explain to people(didn't really work with you) that we put effort in to help ourselves and each other, keep our costs low and try to be slightly more sustainable. The way you describe your lifestyle is you are not spending 2 days a week on keeping house, maintaining house, tending land, land projects, cooking, food shopping, growing crops, processing crops, cleaning etc etc then id be surprised.
