Alder, any market other than biomass?
openspaceman replied to Johnpl315's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Dutch ones may have been willow but cloggies working man's ones were alder with segs in the bottom and leather uppers. -

Timber for Boat / Hull Docking Blocks?
openspaceman replied to Whoppa Choppa's topic in General chat
Yes I was thinking redwoods would be too soft and lack strength. I get the impression elm is fine if totally submerged or buried, less so if wet and dried. We looked to sell shook oak for groins. -
Fine then but Jose was being recommended a Jimny and I was warning that there may be a problem towing an unbraked chipper with it. I'm out.
-
That's irrelevant a 110/defender weighs 2 tonne unladen so a 750kg unbraked chipper is way under half its weight. The C&U regulation only effects lighter vehicles that weigh under 1500kg unladen when towing an unbraked trailer

It won't be on the plate, it is a construction and use thing.

yes, my vitara can tow 1.2 tonnes with overrun brakes but because you should not tow an unbraked trailer that is more than half the unladen weight of the tow car. So an unbraked chipper of 750kg is too much.

if they are as light as my old vitara they can only manage 500kg unbraked,

What’s this interesting material coming out of my stove?

Reminds me of when a Welsh student told me how to say "pleased to meet you" in Welsh when I was to be introduced to my Welsh tutor 😉 -

Yes but it was only the stuff with dimples on one side that exploded. I guess it was steam trapped in the cement. -
When I volunteer with the Ramblers on footpaths, under the supervision of the local authority, those using the battery brush cutter have to wear hard plastic shin guards. I thought it was OTT but...

We got given a box at the Albert Hall in about 71, cannot remember much about it but he wasn't bad. His style went more to his roots as he got older. I certainly understand how a rocking boppper wouldn't get excited with his music but for truly depressing Harry Nilsson did it for me.

I bet, who pulled it out?
-
Why ever not? 15 years ago I spent months with an Ahwi in a 100 hectare plantation taking out the rhody in between the trees with a skid steer. The follow up treatment was good and last year the ecologist told me there was none to be seen.

Shame it wasn't a woman, apparently they can multitask and safely keep their eye on the task as well as the camera.

Who is the person intent on getting the action shot? I guess the customer took the video?
