    Couldn't agree more

    Come on mate. I tried it on our sheds and the logs got wet. What else can I conclude? I also said if there is a gap between the netting and the logs it does work but netting on an IBC crate leaves virtually no gap
  3. Woodworks
    We are very exposed so the netting does not cope with horizontal rains. arboriculturist You think the idea might work then?

    Tried it on some sheds this year but the rain did get through onto the logs before the front row was cleared. Seems to work if there is a reasonable gap between the netting and the logs but when close it failed.

    Only thing showing signs of life here is the sycamore

    Agreed if I put it on when the logs are wet but most of our wood for next winter is already cut so should be dry by autumn, the wrap would go on when the logs are already dry to keep them that way least that's the idea.

    Had problems this year with driving rain blowing into the bottom of our IBC crates of logs (they have lids). Was considering wrapping the bottom half of the crates with pallet wrap when the autumn monsoon commences. Wondering if this will work and if the pallet wrap will last say 4 months before UV breaks it down.

    Looks like one of these. Quite a beast! Charcoal Retorts - Charcoal Kiln - BBQ Charcoal Suppliers in UK

    Riko fit them to their processors so they might be able to help.

    Same here. The bank occasionally get get sniffy about me using a personal account for business and ask me to come in and then try to pursued me to open a business one that's free for a year or so but the costs there after look a lot less friendly. I just point out if I have to open a business account I will shop around and don't here from them again for a few more years

    Great job Love the way you have matched up the natural shape of the boards instead of planning straight edges on them. Must have taken some time.

    What's the riding like on Exmoor?
  13. Woodworks
    Tried road biking for a few years but hated the lousy brakes having come from hydraulic discs on the MTB. See that discs are becoming commonplace on road bikes now so might try again. Averaging 16.8 mph is pretty good going if memory serves me right

    Sycamore?
  15. Woodworks
    You should be topping it up regally as it uses the hydraulic oil for the chain lube. If it's not using oil make sure it's oiling the chain properly. The pump is actuated by the action of the movement of the bar so just remove the bar with the machine off and pull the lever to see if oil appears. ISO 32 is what you need but cant say I shop around just buy what our agricultural supplies sell.

    So if they are selling by the m3 it's of solid wood not what fits on the wagon. Never knew this.
  17. Woodworks
    So if they are asking 40 a cube I would be paying around a £60 per tonne?
  18. Woodworks
    Presuming that is for solid wood but how much do I allow for air gaps with clean roundwood stack?
  19. Woodworks
    Thanks but I might question that table. Pine weighing 1.98 tonnes Thought fresh beech was about as heavy as you can get with native species.
  20. Woodworks
    I know it's been discussed before but cant find a clear answer. Been offered some nice beech thinnings but they are being sold by per m3 and I have only bought by the tonne before. All freshly cut but very tidy. What is the likely ratio?

    Must be a sideboard Good work Steve

    Don't often get asked to do tree work but this was an add on to some processing. Had three windblown laylandii to get down and process. Not dealt with windblown before so got Maxnaggle off here to give me hand. Tried out the new winch which made short work of these. Pictures are dissipative as they look like sticks on here but the three stems made 4 truck loads of logs. Can thoroughly recommend Max as he works like a trooper.

    Thanks Chris. Looks good with nice neat plantation growth but wouldn't work on our hedgrow branch material.

    Spent yesterday cutting supposedly a load of ash but poor chap had been sold 3/4 alder and 1/4 ash. Dead easy for me though as alder cuts like butter. Did about 15 tonnes and would have cleared the whole 18 tonne load if we had not had a small hitch with the processor which cost a bit of time. Edit. Realised my last visit there is my profile picture. Looks like we beat that day

    Have seen the Rojek but not in the flesh. Didn't realise it had a delimbing knife. Too much small twiggy material was the reason I gave up on ours so sounds like a good idea.
