  1. I have one of these http://www.forest-master.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=32&virtuemart_category_id=2&Itemid=125 Does a good job, more than happy with it
  2. Jim I have one of these, I think it's a great bit of kit, well built, It will split knotty wood. Had it a few years now, not had any problems, will split knotty wood, but like anything there are limits to what it will cope with Usually do about 8 plus cube a year Never come across Lime, so couldn't say yea or nay on it. Have you watched this?
  3. Question As you know I'm not an Arborist, just a home firewood logger I have 2 Chainsaws, a Dolmar 14" petrol and a Titan 14" Electric Both have Oregon 3/8th chains, is there any other info I need to know? Now I would like to "freshen" up the edge, and have come across the Stihl 2 in 1 sharpener. looks both quick, and efficient, and most importantly, fool proof Can I use it on these chains, or are Stihl and Oregon chains set differently. Or if they are set differently, and I use the sharpener, would it have a good or adverse effect on the saws
  4. Pity your so far away Ian, I would come and pick up a few loads
  5. Steve the honey will take a few weeks to start working Do you live far from the sea? If it's not too far I would get to the beach in the evening for a walk (or a fishing session ) and get some sea air in your lungs, and less pollen there, will help with the hayfever
  6. I suffered both Asthma and Hay fever from Childhood, the tablets the Doc gave me as a kid never helped, and the Hay fever made the Asthma really bad. (and my Dr wouldn't let me have an inhaler, said I would get addicted to it, I got one when I moved to Devon, because the tablets I was taking for Asthma were said to be "harmful" ) As a kid, and growing up, the more time I spent by and in the sea, the better I felt. I was still not good with the Hay fever 6 or 7 years ago, Asthma was diminishing, feels like it's gone now, 5 or 6 years ago And I haven't suffered Hay fever for at least 3 years The tablets are far better these days, I use Loratadine, PLUS for the last 3 years I've taken a teaspoon of local honey every day starting in early March
  7. I used to have a Ford Galaxy, would carry a sizable quantity of logs (if stacked ) in the boot area, and only up to the bottom of the windows, 3 loads would fill one of my log stores 1.75m3 and some left over MPG was good too. Mine was sluggish though as it was only the 1.9TD version
  8. How about this one Toyota Hilux 2.5 D-4D HL2 4dr Drove past it the other day, not in too bad a nick
  9. For those who want to vote out He's not wanted in the debate by either side, but without him there would be no debate or referendum, he should be included. If you agree please sign and pass it on https://www.change.org/p/vote-leave-...share_petition
  10. Well after I watched this video, [ame] [/ame] I bought one.All I can say is, it's brilliant, even my Mrs enjoys splitting logs with it I hate swinging an axe, mainly cos I'm carp at it,
  11. Will do, probably wont be till at least April/May, flat out with work till the end of March
