    Jokes???

    Tell me about it ! ๐Ÿ™‚
  2. The police are now saying that she fell in the river . I'm not buying that . Any one who has ever had a spaniel knows if you go in the river the dog is strait in as well . The dog was bone dry and next to her phone and the bench . The river looked to be a slow flowing thing but looks can be deceiving . No evidence of a disturbance on the bank . She was , they say , a good swimmer . There is no body . Thoughts ?
  3. Yep . You are right there .

    stop go signs

    and the two guys can take all the abuse , death threats and curses ...๐Ÿ™‚
  5. Yep it was in a large Country House here on the West Sussex/Hampshire border ( about in line with Emsworth but in land a bit ) You could see the graft line clearly . It was massive though , probably 5 to 6 feet in diameter at the fat end . Beautiful tree .
  6. I could not work this out . How do you heat something down to 5-6C ? Then I realized there should be a full stop after semi ! ๐Ÿ˜€
  7. Nut shell AJ ๐Ÿ™‚
  8. Before you tighten the the the nuts fully make sure you have the bar in its upmost position . .lift the chain away from the bar , you should see about half the depth of a drive link . tighten the bar nuts buy hand , hold the saw by the back handle and drop the tip onto a log and then fully tighten the bar nuts without taking the tip off the log . This way the bar will not move causing the chain to go slack .
  9. Ok . I worked on a fern leaved beech once . Some of the lower branches had been cut and when it sprouted it reverted to the original standard leaf . Was odd to look at .
  10. Is it a cultivar AJ ?
  11. Don't sugar coat it Joe , tell it like it is FFS ๐Ÿ™‚
  12. Bit like the Husqvarna 365Xtorque and 372Xtorque . Same saw . Just got some restrictor fins in the transfer covers . Take the covers off , grind of the fins and " shazam " a 372Xtorque .
  13. You need Spud @spudulike
  14. Fcuk . Big up to you for telling all . That aside I do sincerely hope you make the best recovery you possibly can matey . Don't forget you missus will be entitled to some sort of payment for being your carer , I think .
  15. No it doesn't matter but if they are all a similar length is that not a bit of a neater trick ? Like chuck two logs on the stove or chuck one log and then three smaller bits , Oh I don't care do what ever ๐Ÿ˜
  16. Or just cut them in half without measuring anything .
  17. I would not " shorten them ", you just end up with lots of little stubby bits . Just cut them in half on a band saw or table saw . Same number of cuts and no need to measure anything .
  18. The next one up in the range is the 8kw I think . Looks the same just bigger . Check it out . Might fit your logs .
  19. Spoil sport !๐Ÿ™‚
  20. Oh no , not cod wood ๐Ÿ˜„
  21. Do you mean cord wood ?
  22. The processor is set to 11and1/4inches purely to let me get 2x rows with an air gap in my log stores . They fit ok in the stove .
  23. Burley Hollywell 5kw nominal but punts out a bit more on full chat . Very simple to use
  24. " Chopping " down a tree with a saw . Be much easier if you started it up and cut it down . ๐Ÿ™‚
