    The torque issue is what I was wondering about. We produce all our logs from arb waste, so anything big gets ringed and split, just looking for a way to break down big rings into something sensible to lift by hand without spending too much time or money on it. maybe a big horizontal splitter I can load with the grab would be a better setup.

    Hi all, I have an intermacato grab with a rotator on my 6 ton doosan digger. im wondering if rather than buying a cone splitter as a separate attachment, could I either buy or build one that I could hold with the grab and use the grab’s rotator to turn it? has anyone seen one or can think of any problems with this idea?

    Hi All, long time since I’ve Posted! Anyway, has anyone seen a splitter like this for sale in the uk? https://youtu.be/ruvu6j5S3hA I split quite a bit of oversize stuff and wonder if this would be any quicker, using an oxdale 10t tractor mounted splitter at the moment. All thoughts welcome. TIA

    I've seen somebody post on a local for sale Facebook page wanting logs. Immediately six people jumped on the advert, some of whom offering 'a tonne of seasoned hardwood logs for £45' They mean a builders bag I guess, I'm not trying to start the weights and measures thread again. I sell 0.73 m.cube bags at £65 and sell all I can produce to regular customers who like my service and quality etc. What are your experiences of Facebook sales? The 'have a go Harry' brigade are starting to upset me a little, my next door neighbour told me last week that I'm way too expensive because they could buy wet softwood logs for £30 a cube and I'm more than twice that price. Wow!

    Not a bad idea that! Any idea what it would cost to haul them all that way?
  6. pembswoodrecycling
    Shame you're not closer to me, that's a good price!

    Dry 26m3 for down to 20% for £100? Sounds good to me Murray!

    I've had an oxdale tractor mounted splitter for four years. We see 150m3 a year. It has only failed once - a spring in the spool valve - they sent one out free of charge. Very quick to use when you get good at it, I can do three cube of loose logs an hour. Highly recommend the splitters and the company.

    Last year I ran out just at the end of the season. I told two customers that we'd got nothing dry and that they'd be better trying someone else. One was a new customer: I never heard from them again. The other was a regular - maybe 10m3 a year, she went somewhere else but sure enough was on the phone to me this September complaining about the rubbish she had from the other bloke.

    Hi Grant, I'm in Haverfordwest and I've got seasoned split softwood logs available for wholesale if that's of any interest to you? Save yourself the work! Jamie

    I've got a major case of cage envy! What I couldn't do with a few of those... We use ibc cages, they're pretty cheap locally because dairy farmers use them then drive a pallet fork through the tank by accident. We had a similar difficulty with 'shuffling' the cages in the shed. I bought a bobcat to help with that - no logging operation should be without one!

    Tried and tested, yes it does, really well. It's a 30 degree pitch, like lots of bungalows have. Although I did toy with the idea of using silicon to seal between each lap.

    I agree wholeheartedly with everything you say there, ive build sheds a bit like that. It looks great, and I bet it works very well. Most of my log customers are retired and quite well off with manicured lawns etc. I wanted to build something that would fit in. It will fit 1 cube.

    Router with a jig... less chance of losing my thumbs! also, im a bit of an idiot and it stops me from messing up the spacing if the jig keeps me in line! thanks for all the positives guys.

    I made one of these with a view to selling as many as possible... the idea being it will sit against a wall away from the weather. the louvred sides are to promote airflow whilst keeping the rain out (or most of it anyway) The one shown is made from joinery grade redwood timber and dip treated with a colourless wood treatment. A shiplap back and louvred front doors will be optional extras. The retail price for these will be £320 Thoughts and feelings?

    Can you PM me prices for cladding and details of the moulding please.
  19. pembswoodrecycling
    Thanks Alec. What do you use to neutralise afterwards?
  20. pembswoodrecycling
    Thanks for your help agg221, there's plenty of chandlers down here for me to try. Will it remove stains completely? Even the dark ones at the bottom?

    There is postcrete in the hole. Where can I get oxalic acid from?

    I put these oak bollards in the ground yesterday, untreated, and here's what happened... I know about iron reacting with oak, but why has this happened? Iron in the soil? Is there anything to be done to recover this? I'm thinking in terms of belt sanding the staining off and treating with an oil. All thoughts welcome :-)

    Hi Lloyd, I'm based in Haverfordwest and have a huge stockpile of both softwood and hardwood, send me a PM with your details and I'll get in touch.

    It starts being quicker by about the third day...
