If it were mine I would let them grow up a for a few years and then lay them for a very dense hedge.

Pine as firewood...yes or no?

Had some Scotts pine a few years ago and it was great stuff. Probably as good as doug fir and larch -
Make fast kindling with a slow splitter
Woodworks replied to Ontario Firewood Resource's topic in Firewood forum
Thinner wood tends to come out longer. Straight wood feeds cleaner and again comes out longer on average. Always quite few crumbs mixed in from when it does a cut but for whatever reason it hasn't fed much -
You are more than welcome to pop out and see it in action Paul

Well last year turned out better than expected charcoal sales wise and hope for more of the same again this year. The retort is still performing faultlessly. May make up a second to enable greater production. The current one can make enough but I could be running two at the same time and more days doing other things Love an evening burn

Blade spacing and diameter of the cutter heads. The bigger machines cut a longer log -
Great work James. Especially like the knock down table. Pure class that 👍

Makes great charcoal -
This pretty much sums up how it appears to be used and those that use it. Like “politically correct” before it, the word “woke” has come to connote the opposite of what it means. Technically, going by the Merriam-Webster dictionary’s definition, woke means “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”, but today we are more likely to see it being used as a stick with which to beat people who aspire to such values, often wielded by those who don’t recognise how un-woke they are, or are proud of the fact.

Keep seeing this phrase "woke" so looked it up. Sounds like a good thing to be "political and social awareness"

Wow thats some piece of timber! We built a 26' sailing boat some years back and it had an ash keelson. From memory it was about 60mm thick and 300mm wide. It had to be curved so we laminated 3x20mm thick boards together to create the section required. Might laminating thinner boards together be an option for you? Think you are unlikely to get 100mm thick ash kiln dried but 50mm should be available

I had a £15 ebay special. Gauging it by my bike light of known brand I would say it was kicking out ay least a 1000 lumens which was still a mighty bright head torch

Think they may have had a rather soft batch which my foray into the Harvester bar must have been from. Seen others rate them but mine wore faster than any other bar I have had. That combined with them being more prone to jam with twisty wood made me convert back.
-
But as I said I dont run a harvester bar. Current favourite is the Husqvarna X-force for £35

I run the same processor and it's not as bad as it might sound. There is an excellent sight gauge to see the oil levels so no risk of running the oil low. Also it means you are always taking out the worst of the hydraulic oil as the oil is drawn off for the bar from the bottom of the tank.I thought regular chain oil would be better so fitted a separate tank to mine but in reality I have not noticed much difference in bar wear using chain oil. A bar probably last me a year so no big deal.

I dont think you need to be fretting about spares. From my experience of 25 years as a furniture maker I never needed any spares beyond a bearing or a switch on any major kit. Thats planers, bandsaws, Circular saws, moriticers etc. My current bandsaw was made in the 40s! Admittedly its not my money at stake here but quality kit doesn't just break as its so over build in the first place. Bearings, motors and switches can fail but should be easily retro fitted.

First table saw was a Multico. Must admit I had always presumed it was British. Either way it was nicely made There is also a Wadkin on the bay. Never used one but cant imagine anything Wadkin make is poor quality. Not sure if they stated single or 3 phase though. Another one to look out for were Smith. Think they later got bought up by Record but they were nicely put together Morticers
-
Used a Sedgewick during my training. An excellent piece of kit and like so much of the more traditional kit if it gets worn you take out any play with the adjustable dovetail tracks. The Multico was also highly sort after.

If you achieve a hi temp burn would there be much tar to gum up a flue?

IBC Totes - Firewood Storage Solution

Yes, they are great for drying firewood. Even better once we got a pallet rotator for the loader.
