Well done Butcher Block. Thought I had gone through that page but clearly missed the relevant bit. This looks pretty categoric 7.1.2 Wood, peat and charcoal A supply of wood, peat or charcoal that you hold out for sale solely as fuel qualifies for the reduced rate provided that your customer does not intend to resell it. This applies regardless of the amount you supply. So 20% to those that resell and 5% to end user.

Until recently been selling from the farm gate and presumed it should be 5% as it's fuel for domestic use but what do I charge when selling in bulk to a shop? Presume this would be 20% but can't find any definitive info.

Thanks all Gives me something to work with

Anyone?

Been offered some scots pine to make up a load and wondering whats the going rate and how does it compare with douglas and larch as firewood? Price per cube would be handy Thanks

Electric hoist off a strong roof beam? Something like this ww.screwfix.com/p/hilka-pro-craft-500kg-electric-hoist/72809

Yes got an 18 tonne Krpan with winch. The winch is a godsend and can pull or lift some serious weight. You can pull hefty rounds out of the stack with it. Also lifting over sized rings onto the table some may weigh 100 kg and away you go. Down side is the Krpan winch is not hydraulic but runs of clutch driven by a chain drive. The chain runs the whole time and is not exactly noisy but not silent either. The clutch is quite abrupt and is basically on or off but more than good enough for the job. I would now never consider buying a large vertical splitter without a winch.

Stayed here many a time. Great spot and not overly fancy. It's at the base of Tryfan with amazing views not sure about fires though. Only place I have been where you defiantly have a fire was Red squirrel campsite in Glencoe Campsite in Snowdonia Gwern Gof Isaf is situated on a traditional hill-farm between Capel Curig and Llyn OgwenGwern Gof Isaf

Hard to say what you should charge. We get £100 plus a fiver delivery if only one cube, thats for very dry hardwood and probably the most expensive around here. Trying to work out what others charge is tricky though as most charge by the "load" whatever that is and you never know how dry it is.

Working now Lovely watching spring arrive

Don't think so. It starts when warm and no bits have fallen off.

To fair to my brother in-law he has done a good job of the sharpening it's just other aspects of his maintenance could do with some improvement.

At the risk of experiencing the wrath of others I can't see why you would need to heat treat the file as it should take a good edge untreated. The marking knife I made from a file takes a good edge with no apparent down sides. Sure it's probably not the best steel in the world but it's a long way from being the worst

Thinking of having a crack at making charcoal.

To be honest Nick I don't know. I only used small branch material that I would not sell for logs but it does make good charcoal. Larger material may well be better though.

Yesterday burn got a bit lively. Had a false start has had lit the fire underneath the barrel but the wind came up making difficult to get the barrels hot enough to start driving the gas off so let it out and started again later. I guess after the first failed burn any water had been driven off and once the gases started coming off it all went a bit wild.

Got a call from my brother in-law saying his saw was not working properly. Yep think I can see the problem
-
I really like that

Yes probably wrong just going for one extreme. Our Mowi trailer is rated as a 6 tonne trailer but with 2.3m lengths hard pushed to get more than 3 tonne on it hence me going for around half your trailer rating. With 3m lengths maybe nearer 2 tonne

No idea how long they are but guess 1400kg
-
Your probably right but I am surprised how tough my little knife has been. Spend lots of money on a fancy Japanese marking knife years ago and a reground old file is nicer to use
-
A file takes a lovely edge. My favourite marking knife in the workshop is made from a small flat file that was for taking the rakers down. The blade would not have much flex but nought wrong the edge it takes.

They put up a good fight and should be proud of what they have achieved this season.

Hmmm so much for "Lifeproof" cases Got given an Iphone 4S (much nicer than my cheapo phone). To keep safe bought a Lifeproof case. First time it got wet the darn thing leaked. To be fair to Lifeproof they sent a new one which actually had the seal for the charger fitted! Today dropped my phone for the first time and the screen has broken. Not a mark on the screen protector. Maybe I have been unlucky but pretty peeved with this case.

That looks a potentially great tool but it needs to go on the truck for the other end to be really useful.

Agreed I would not want to live there full stop. Goes to show if your goal is money you never have enough.
