    Go back to last Thursday in this thread . Woodwizzard posted at 16:37 . There are some coments .
  2. Stubby
    Ah . ☺️
  3. Stubby
    How can you run 3-4 weeks ahead ? Do you do jobs before they come in ?
  4. Stubby
    Chain brakes eh ?
  5. Stubby
    Yea mine did as well . Tried a replaceable tip cone from them but the hardening was pants on it . It just went blunt almost strait away . Went else ware in the end .
  6. Stubby
    Ok thanks , but sap , how can it still make sap if its been down a year and was dead standing before it was dropped ?
  7. Stubby
    Yep mine came with a 9hp GX which was ok for strait grained easy split stuff but nothing else . Tried an 11hp , then the 13 hp eventually went with a 20 hp V twin . Got any pics of yours ?
  8. Stubby
    Does M/P not season then ? How can it make sap if its dead ? I know very little about them other than the sap can burn some peoples skin , but like G/Hogweed .
  9. Stubby
    Yes , it did . I have had to up the power with more torque because the original engine would stall on anything slightly gnarly .

    As you say that stainless half baffle is the soot trap . I think stoves will soon have to meet certain regs and will perhaps have to install a cat to do so . Not ones built before the new regs of course .

    Sorry , can't remember . Had it for yonks . Changed the engine once ! I do remember it came in bits on a pallet and I had to build it up .
  12. Stubby
    How can you tell its not as described ? I can't get the pictures of the cylinder to come up .

    Modern saws

    As far as I know non of them do . All my saws have the fast idle facility .

    I would take a serious high tide to reach the foot of the South Downs but yea I suppose .

    I am a Victorian street urchin FFS .
  16. Stubby
    I can't . Its just what I think . Do you disagree that logs will take up moisture from the air if the relative humidity is greater than the log itself ?
  17. Stubby
    Snot gobbering work !

    Ethanol is hygroscopic so attracts water . It is also a solvent so attacks rubber and other components . It has caused no end of small engine problems in the USA . The devils work !

    I sweep my own flue every year . Will I go to prison ?
  20. Stubby
    I agree about kiln dried not being as good as air dried . Kiln dried knocks the guts out of the wood . If I was offered 20% kiln dried and 20% air dried I would sooner have the air dried .
  21. Stubby
    Also you can dry wood down to , say , 15% or less moisture in the summer and when you get to winter and the rain and snow comes the wood will draw back some moisture from the now humid air and you might end up with 22% or 25% coz of the ambient conditions . This is wood in the log store , covered with air flow .

    Its was written as 22T in the blurb but who knows as its basically a Chinesium splitter that I have modified to road tow . You can put a round on each end so that your return stroke is not wasted . I modded it to one handed as well .

    Covid-19

    Stubby replied to Ratman's topic in The Lounge

    Same where I live. I don't understand it at all; where are all the stupid buggers going to and from? With hospitality shut, non-essential shops shut, leisure facilities shut, schools shut etc, where is there to go? It's even busy in the middle of the day so can't just be people going to work and back. They are all Amazon drivers 🙂

    Bark looks too smooth for that to me ...
