Sycamore is good also.

If the sleepers are heartwood I think they stand a better chance green as opposed to green sap wood. Dense timber, lots of tannins. Air dried heartwood oak would be best. But also dependent on the soil type the timber is going into, bog oak can last thousands of years.

Big beech. Chain just wasn’t right today but got through it.

M7 and B751 are great. M880. With the superskip it’s very easy on everything including operator. There’s not a whole lot in it BUT it was interesting listening to everyone talking in one of the other threads about breaking down large timber for center slabs. This is what these do so it can make sense at a particular scale of biz. 2 people and some home fabricated engineering means you can handle this big timber. The alternatives are extremely expensive (well to me!) from cutting to handling. From your perspective think how much big (quality)timber you come across. That dictates a lot.

Cuts wide timber [emoji3] seriously though it’s good in terms of being able to quickly pick your cutting plane so you can break down timber accurately. As with everything the right chain makes the job. The set up in the pick will cut 50 inches. Cutting a very large beech on Friday and I’ll post a pic. It’s stable but needs the hammer in pins along the rails. The channel on the ends sits on a piece of angle so we have various sizes of wooden spacers that you use to measure how far to drop the angle and in turn your next cut. So once you get your first cutting plane then level both sides you can just use the spacers unless your doing something funky! I’m not particularly good at this “writing up” so if you have a question please feel free. (I’ve used pretty much all the Logosol gear but no other brands so I’m clueless in regards comparison)

Haven’t seen that before but it’s class. A lot of firewood though!

130/square foot? Or cubic

Fair enough. Perhaps promote through educating (which has been said previously on Arbtalk many times) beau do you find many of your customers (firewood) resentful(resentful maybe too strong a word) I’m not being funny, I found that the difference between customers attitude in general buying planks and firewood night and day for the most part. Is this because they’re burning what they buy psychologically. I always got a kinda happy comforting feeling out of a nice pile of good firewood. -
I understand your point but does the fuel stock being sustainable and locally sourced not come into an equation in this. Low transport, income helps long term CFC management etc etc. also having a stove in an urban environment that has the infrastructure to use a cleaner alternative vs people living rurally is not on par in a decision on promotion To summarize Open fires are balls Location of stove rural vs urban Fuel stock source, nearby and aiding CFC or replantation I’ll stick my chairmen mao hat on!

Nice chunk of a section of beech to be dissected.

316 will work but wouldn’t take a whole lot more particularly if it’s going to be near direct flames

Old school carbon capture.

Has anyone tried thinning racks in young hardwood stands with a 5/8ton machine attached with the likes of a tiger cut grab or TMK tree sheer? I like to know if it’s efficient and any pitfalls. I have a neighbor who has an 8 ton hitachi and there’s myself and quite a few others with similar stands. I thought this may be a great system for the forest owner who just needs a few days work. Apart from the mess harvesters make in these stands there isn’t the interest in this piece meal work with the Harvester contractors due to transport and them being very busy in this locality. Advice on this would be very appreciated as this is at best a hunch that it would work and it’s quite an investment.

The answer is no you don’t have to feel in so much pain. I’ve been down this road and the solution is a mixture of some of the replies You need to find the cause of the issue, probably a trip to a GP and insist on an MRI referral This will direct you in a direction to take remedy. If it’s pointing you to Physio do some research and find a Pilates led Physio. If you come out of the Physio with a list of different exercises longer than your arm, find another Physio and stick religiously to the plan. A bad Physio will f u up worse. Take away any repetition or alter what you do at work. This could be a work height issue or breaking tasks up. Look at everything and see if you can mechanize some tasks. Rather than less movement try insert some movement or exercise that’s totally different from your normal day. This is a lot of work but if the firewood motivates you, it’s worth finding a solution and putting in the effort

Answers are there. Buy a better file or Belt sand it and as stubby said find out why it’s wearing unevenly. Reads like something is goosed

How does that system work? Where is the excess heat tapped off and does it involve heat transfer system to a rad or direct hot air extracted and blown into a insulated chamber. Very curious how that would work. Sounds a lot more efficient

Is that a pressvess kiln?

Fair point Kevin but there’s been a fair amount of anti Russia by mr Churchill between the great wars to keep the whole vibe going. In retrospect an already political thrust. The view of whether western or eastern economic/Philosophical ideas persuaded Eastern European countries one way or the other is fairly simple wouldn’t you think.

Brexit ! what will this mean ? ( lets get a good thread going )
axehaircut replied to digaholedumper's topic in General chat
Considering this forum is open to different perspectives one of the most relevant issues are N Ireland/ republic Ireland dairy trade as a specific economic issue. This is an extremely complex issue and not something to be left aside because of simplistic views of a version of immigrants. I personally believe the Uk was a stronger force within the Eu, this would have historically held true. -
Gives me a great idea for an old fertiliser spreader [emoji108]

Have any of you guys built, used or seen an Adams retort in action. (This is one of the best threads, I've followed on arbtalk, fair play). Going to build one and modify it a bit.
