    Magical, thanks for sharing. The only place I know that is of similar standing is the old deer park at Chatsworth Park which isn't open to the public either. Senescent oak are amazing.

    The mini-mill is the vertical mill. You lose about 2 inches mounting it but only 1 inch if you take the dogs off. Yes as you say, you may need to cut with the tip which isn't a problem.

    Interesting. Makes 6x2's very quickly and does what it does very well. Depth of cut looks very limited though. Doesn't seem as versatile as an Alaskan. What else can it do?

    I ordered some climbing gear from them a few months back. Good price and arrived quickly. No complaints but only used them the once.

    Classy website. Very impressed. Marked lack of typo's as well! Congrats to your Mrs.

    Sorry only pressed on the link. As you say if you go onto the full story from there, its a big and exciting project. Sounds like their taking it slowly approach will be good.

    Why does it cost £5m to cut down the conifers you don't want, leave them to rot and let the native trees grow back? And what is it's "native state"?? So that's folly!

    10 amps sounds about right. Watts = volts x amps so 12v x 10 amps = 120 watts. 120 watts isn't much power at all

    Mine outside generally look like that. The older leaves get nibbled by insects but the plant keeps growing. Not something to worry about.

    Has anybody experience of the systems that remotely link your CCTV cameras to your iPhone or iPad? They phone you if you have an intruder and you can see what's going on. Only helps if your yard is a few minutes away.

    No problem buying a copy if it's described as such. This wasn't. How are you going to get spares? Does it really operate to the same standards as a Stihl? Not something I'd be happy to have spent £510 on, then discover it's not a real Stihl.

    That's interesting. On my work PC the home page had black background with very dark grey text and was barely legible. On my mac at home it is black text against a white background and is very clear. No idea why that is but might wish to ask the author to check?

    The sad thing is that this has now sold despite me informing ebay that it was a fake. Ebay make very little effort to protect buyers. As they say, buyer beware!

    Looks very well laid out and professional. My only gripe would be that on the home page the dark text on a dark background is very difficult to read. So the content is great and the other pages are fine but the home page wouldn't work for any older or partially sighted person.

    Good to see the government acting slightly more quickly over Sweet Chestnut than Ash. They've banned imports from disease areas starting in early September.

    Very impressive work.

    I measure mine by weight. During the present hot spell, logs on my wood pile in the sun are losing water at 1% per day. Currently at about 30%, so will likely tail off. Weird if could go from 45% to 15% in one month!

    Downy birch respond really badly to large reductions. Rot sets in and its the beginning of a decline. Light touch is best - but you can only advise!

    Sorry only viewed the first post picture. Yes they are opposite so probably Acer but not davidii.
  20. woodyguy
    Can't be A. Davidii as the leaves should be opposite, also more lobed than that. I'd go hornbeam (but not convinced)

    I'm surprised at the answers to this. If anything overhangs my garden then I can cut it back to the boundary because it shouldn't be there. The arisings are the tree owners property. Certainly in the case of the path, if the branches were stopping me using this path then I would be within my rights to cut them off. Clearing it so that it meets an imposed 2.5m high clearance is less clear cut but surely under the same rules it would be legal?
  22. woodyguy
    I've contacted ebay to say its dangerous. Interesting to see if they remove it. Suspect not.
  23. woodyguy
    Hard to say without knowing the wood and the density. One acre isn't much. Thinnings from one acre isn't going to earn you much so again depends on how far away it is, how long it takes you, the access and what else you could be earning with the time. Sounds pretty borderline to me.
  24. woodyguy
    Sounds a rip off. I work in green oak and it shrinks by 0.15% length and about 5% radius. That's going from freshcut to 10% (so less shrinkage for logs). So a 30cm log that's 3metres long has a volume of 0.85 cuM when cut and 0.78cuM when at 10% ie an 8.5% loss of volume.

    So where does Juglans Nigra (black walnut) fit in?
