    If anyone is interested I have some PVA in large quantities free. I buy IBC tanks and use the cages for drying logs occasionally the tanks have some leftover in the bottom. It does not look much in 1000 litre tank but recon there must be 25 litres or more in some of them. Would not use it for glueing anything together but for sealing blanks it's ideal.

    Having talked to TrakMet at the Confor show last year they sounded like they might make what you want. Might be worth an ask if they can supply a petrol motor version. I know diddly squat about mills but they offered a hell of a lot steel for the money

    They man handled it all onto the machine. Cut a bit short so could not use the log lifter on most of it. Still on the bright side I didn't have to move any of it just operate the machine

    Been working up in Somerset for the last few days cutting mainly ash.

    Clearly a great machine for larger timber

    Blimin heck! That is fantastic productivity. Does large hardwood work as well on the 12 way cutter or do you end up with more kindling?

    Got a weeks processing job coming up in Frome. Murphy's law says all my kit will go wrong while away from base so were is the best place to get stuff fixed in the area? Thanks

    Pretty sure Renewable John on here has some strong opinions on woodburning ovens. Might be worth doing a search as think he wished he had bought a German made one but the name escapes me but it began with L. Arbtalk.co.uk | Discussion Forum for Arborists - Search Results

    The Farmi only has the one oil tank. The chains supply is taken off the bottom of the main hydraulic oil tank. Just about to update my machine and must sort this out on the new one as I have let it slip for too long. From whats been said a separate tank for chain oil would be best. There is a pump that is actuated by pulling the saw blade down so hopefully these will be up to pumping a thicker oil

    It's an option but not an appealing one.

    Just come across this at an affordable price 90 odd quid for 25 litres seems pretty good but is what Spacey says right? UNIFOOD HYDRAULIC OIL RANGE (TDS 161).pdf

    Anyone know what torque the plug should be done up to?
  14. Woodworks
    Thanks chaps. Not sure I fancy risking fitting a helicoil myself but looks like they will work on a striped hole so will tighten the sparkplug up a touch more and if all goes wrong get one professionally installed.

    Saw started staling and found the plug completely loose. Tightened it up and same happened again. On close inspection the thread in the block is slightly damaged but not wrecked. Wary of really swinging off the socket when tightening so is there anything like thread lock that can be used for this purpose or do I need to look into helicoils?

    Picking up up here but nothing like TCDs level of demand.
  17. Woodworks
    And?
  18. Woodworks
    Cant see a problem with that. They sound good might have to try making some

    Poor mpg towing with the manual Dmax. Never got over 30 mpg towing or otherwise and think Dean on here gets claims high thirties out of his auto. 30 is not awful but when they claim 38 as the combined figure You looking at Roger Young? They are not interested once they have made the sale.

    Thing is Steve I need to be able to lift them out the way when loading the logs. I don't mind the slats warping around a bit as it does not need to be a thing of beauty. Just needs to let the air through and keep the driving rain out.
  21. Woodworks
    best yet

    Thinking of making up some loovra style panels to put in front of our log stores to keep off the rain. The sheds are around 5' wide so want to make large panels to cover each store. Got some larch in the round and going to mill some 4 1/2" thick planks from it. I can then get the plank under my bandsaw but how thick would you make the slats? Was thinking around 1/4" with side and central supports but never done loovras before so thought it worth an ask. Thanks

    This thread is turning into a sorry tale. Certainly wouldn't endorsal this kind of talk.

    Hi Tom We have a job coming up with lots of processor size ash and alder near Tavistock if interested. Can sort haulage but be very handy if you want to trailer it off site as access is difficult for lorry.
