  1. stand corrected. didn't scroll the screen enough. always the down side to havin a biggun:001_smile:
  2. the only possible issue may be, that like Christmas you always get something you don't want. so, my suggestion would be a list of available sundries to choose from. as I have no need for files and or small key ring crabs etc. however, with regards to postage I have yet to buy more stones for the electric grinder until I have something larger to buy. as I cant see ( no dig) how it costs a fiver to send small items, yet I can get a large 3kg winch with free delivery for a tenner off the bay? however Rob, I may well order some before my sugi bar and gloves come out, if the postage cost could be removed somehow??

  14. Alder is one of the best timbers for water work. so any ditches or revetments that need rebuilding and or will be in a constant damp environment, alder is the one!!
  15. have a client who has a largish (18") SC showing signs of dying back. but this is starting at the lowest part of the canopy, whilst the top is still healthy green at this stage. half mile down the road, I notice another customers coup of SC shows signs of this, but these are smaller trees coppiced around 7-9yrs. again crown showing Autumn colour tinges top to bottom. in two pockets. (from what I can see driving) our other customer a mile down the road also has the odd tree showing symptoms. these are again 10" or so and also smaller 1" thick coppice regrowth. I am on the wrong computer at the moment so no pictures. but what is it and should I be concerned ???
  16. cool, just need to decide which way to go. need to cut some more trees down first to afford them!
  17. Rob Had trouble login in last night, wanted to order some sharpening stone. What tips 4 using a long bar to minimse bat sag?

  19. wel, time is coming soon to start on this big 4.5ft Burr oak. trouble is, I will need a bigger bar than my titchy 47" duromatic. as I see it, I have two options. Stihl 59" or Cannon 60" super bar or? other than a cost difference and me getting 20% off at my local dealer on the stihl, would I see any gains on getting the cannon? my concern is flexure when set up on the mill. I don't want saggy boards thoughts, hints n tips welcome. simon
  20. wow!!! I wish mine looked like that! when I tried the other day, on a similar size log it was a right bastard to do. and quite frankly I was highly disappointed given the effort I had put in. no matter what I did, i got a cork screwed beam. not impressed. it should of been a 8x8 or so, but now it will just firewood. will take a picture and show 2mrw.
  21. well there you go then. learn something new everyday
  22. why cant you buy two stroke online? thought it was saws / power tools only??? not that I've read " stihls policy"
