Heard quite a few people have accidents with the angle grinder rip cutters. Sorry to hear that Dervish, hope you get back into it soon.

Tool Station is cheaper for the tungsten carbide and grit flap discs, both give quick results, the carbide does get clogged but the turbo plane is outstanding at removing wood, expensive but well worth it.

Looks a bit like a viking axe the way the metal continues down the shaft.

Bought the Quo 'from the makers of' on vinyl box set for £1. Springsteen live 1975 Box set at 50p for 5 albums all perfect nick.

Just spent an hour collecting items such as the wheel barrow from the field out the back. Everything is covered in a layer of soil dust and the windows are in need of a clean. Thats me sorted for this morning. Lucky I've got a day off to do the accounts and now got some displacement activity.

Just got home and with the fields around the house all ploughed, this dry warm wind is whipping up a hooley of a dust storm.

When people are charging £60-£80 per tonne for cord delivered, then that felled tree at £102 is a bargain. I've been looking for cord in West Lancs and been let down twice. Had a couple of others prove too expensive.

Nothing on the Firewood Forum for 13 hours???!
Gardenmac replied to ThrustSSC's topic in Firewood forum
Still looking for cord for the log burner in West Lancs! Anyone know who has been clearing behind the church in Halsall? -
Wouldn't be without mine for doing larger borders in less time. Stihl have just reissued their version and it has power brushes, Cant get them for my mantis:001_huh:

No worries, if you are dropping any more let me know as Im looking for cord to cut for log burner as we have gone through this years supply so need to replenish wood store for next winter. The price of LPG is ridiculous and so the log burner is a lifesaver in the house.
-
Has this gone yet?
-
:thumbup:good luck and hope to see some pics of the finished piece.

Thanks Rob, sent you a message.

Great work so far, there is a book Chainsaw Carving an Eagle: A Complete Step-by-step Guide (Paperback) By (author) Jamie Doeren, That would be worth your while buying it has loads of detail etc, think its about £8 on amazon. Other than that take your time and have a look on youtube etc for how others have got to the next step.

robarb your pm is full

Go on line and see if you can find anyone who has uploaded any similar bid that may have achieved funds. It will give you a flavour of the type of language they are looking for in your bid.

Anyone got 5-6 tonne of fresh cut Cord, hard or softwood. Need about 5-6 tonne for log burner for next winter. House is on LPG and its proving costly too run. I can collect in a couple of trips. Please PM with detail. Many thanks
-
Have to agree, hired one and it took more time than loading brash onto trailer and taking to tip in 4 or 5 trips. Skips where 6 miles from job. Absolute pants of a machine:thumbdown:

Don't go off on one! But aren't Maccullochs owned by Husqvarna same as Stihl own Nilsfix these days. I was in the suppliers collecting gear and the guy who runs the place was saying, wish I'd known earlier as the nilsfix jet wash( exactly same spec as the Stihl only different colour scheme) was £100 cheaper.

Get into gardening, I'm 50+ started gardening last year as a business after 10 years sat at puter 12 hours a day or driving to meetings that totalled 50k miles a year. Since starting on the gardening and doing 6-7 hours 3 days a week lost 4+ stone, leaner, meaner and fitter than ever. The meaner bit is probably coz I'm past 50 and turning into a grumpy old git. I've also gotta Kona Lava dome, my boys say its vintage as I bought it so long ago.

Is that what the line is cutting across the deck in the first pic? Mighty fine work sir, mighty fine. Big T tip is to take your time and if you get residue on the flags clean it off asap.
-
:thumbup1:Good work, like the fact the dog is freestanding. Have you seen all the cord and felling on the site out along the A49 towards the m62? Wonder who has been clearing there?
-
I bought a Jet variable speed from Axminster as my starter, solid lathe that works a treat. I was in the Warrington store today and they have some real decent new kit at very reasonable prices. Machine Mart also have a decent selection at decent prices.
