  1. Every 3ft square I put a a 2-3ft pallet slat into rough thrown logs which sits on log built edge, as this locks face to inner core. Bricklayer for 27 years in church restoration . So just like a wall tie. Also battering walls in as this must help. just need mortar to truly solid it up:thumbup:
  2. Any one built one. I,m building one a for next years supply. As always struggled to keep logs dry. Just wondering if any one has thoughts on how efficient at drying at centre of heap will be. Mine will be 10ft diameter. Maybe 7ft tall. Might try to do roof with layered logs to mimick thatch. As opposed to a tarp which will prevent moisture escaping.And they look really good.
  3. New chain n bar purchased on 281 xp. Cut like hot knife. Then we hit metal in tree. And 2 teeth snapped off😂. Is it still ok to use ???? Or am I being tight.
  4. Where do I get such an item. Quick goog this morn only seemed to find USA or eBay stuff. Must be a little man in a business with a box full somewhere.?
  5. Just been sharpening chain with new 5.5 mm file from local man.also ordered new chains n things from chainsaw bars..just finished sharpening and spotted broken side link :thumbdown:so now waiting for new chain..
  6. What angle should I be filing on this Carlton chain. Cheers.
  7. I've got to know our local dent repair man very well. 2 visits to him in 18 months.total £350. He did have a load of logs of me though. Logs for dents was mentioned.
  8. It does say A2 on chain. Googled it. And it's a Carlton chain looks like 3/8 then.
  9. Thanks morten. What's the difference between the 2?
  10. Hi. What size file for our 281xp with 24 inch bar? Also What size chain when it's time to replace. Maybe a serial number for the oregan make, if poss. Thanks a lot.
  11. Help For Heroes. What a good cause.:thumbup:
  12. Any log sellers gave a load to charity. If so what prices did your loads go for.. my friend done a charity night for cancer research and raised £4550. My logs went £120 for 2 cube. Well chuffed.:thumbup:

    Walnut?

    Don't know how to add photos. Would like them little pics as side of page you lot have. The walnut has a very thick knarly bark with little crescent patterns on edge. Also has a large white 2nd layer before centre. Which looks chocolatey.

    Home brewing

    Regards the op, sorry went of post. Brew kits are a good way to start of in the practice of cleanliness and temperature.and is reasonably quick. But main thing is cleanliness we find.so those old barrels will want a good clean. Demestos original 22.5 ml to 5 litres of water. Contact time of half hour and rinse rinse rinse. Also new barrel taps would not hurt.

    Home brewing

    Done a dozen full mash brews now. Takes 5 -6 hours though but good fun. Temprature is controlled by an extended front to an old fridge made from celetex.. In side is a green house heater . With a controllable temp setting so can chill or heat as in either fermenting or conditioning. Very hand. Especially at time to drink . And was good fun to make ..And electric box of tricks is about £50 and every thing else is scavenged.tried heat mats but seemed to get to warm. And belts also got to warm at point of contact.
  18. First day not had the 5 kW log burner on in 4 months.wow that's a lot of logs carried in by myself.i reckon that's about 2500 logs.
  19. I Used to have a cock.a game keeper ate it. Would like another though for my 6 ladies.
  20. 45 % tax so Coleen loses nearly half of hubby's wages. They say lampard puts nearly£ 4.9 million into taxs.. Ouch.
  21. Unloading concrete of a mix on site mixer last week and borrowed one of there barrows. Made by belle . Plastic shell. Well tough.better than our one job builders merchant rubbish. Got a garden hammerlin out of a skip ten years ago that's good, French I think.
  22. Eating bacon from farmers pigs only a field away. Would be criminal to put any colour of sauce on. Though the missus does. Next step to that is red sauce on a roast.
  23. He thought he was crazy. But Ukrainian lad wins that one
