Sawbench works well if you are making a few.

R.ange of moisture content of air dried logs you sell
Peasgood replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
I sometimes test the furniture and woodwork inside my house. Obviously I don't actually split the chair legs and test the fresh cut surface but I have yet to find anything below 15%. The logs I burn are split and covered and do measure 15% when re-split and tested properly. -
I prefer these WOW - 20 Inch 126W CREE LED Spot Flood Combo Driving Work Light Bar ATV UTE Boat | eBay Simply because you can slide the mounting brackets to wherever suits you. The ones pictured in the op have fixed mounting points that may not suit your purpose. Other than that, go for it, they are pretty amazing as far as light output goes. Just make sure you mount them where thay are not shining on your vehicle, they are seriously bright and the glare can be a bit much.

Superglue was supposedly invented for sticking wounds together, so why the hell didn't they invent it non stingy too? More like they invented it to sting people to death and it just so happens it's quite sticky too.

Had mine for 5 years or so and would readily buy another. Before you get put off by Chrisy B's breakage just take a glance at his avatar.

Overrun with the damned things! Seen hardly any wasps all year but dozens of queen wasps. I have to shake all my clothes before putting them on it's that bad. Put the sun visor down on my car and one fell onto my lap, that was fun. Not. Never been stung by a queen wasp and not even sure they can but they still freak me out.

I have had sparks coming off my axe as it bounced off seasoned sycamore. It may well split easy when fresh but it goes damned hard when seasoned.

Was a bit pointless fitting them then.

Employing foreign staff through agencies
Peasgood replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Business Management
I employ foreigners for seasonal work, they are with me from May to October and live onsite in a static. Good lads, work hard. Absolutely no idea about time and motion and even worse have no inkling what H&S is about. In fact have little inkling about self preservation never mind anyone around them. -
If you do go exploring I think you'd best tie a fence rail across your arse to stop you falling too deep.

I wouldn't say Cox was particularly difficult to grow. If that is what you want you should go for it, not to say Red Pippin are not a bad choice. (We sell ours as Red Pippin, I thought Fiesta was the old name)

You really should select the best willow for what you want (as said), just planting random types could be a complete waste of time. The right one will be many times better than non specific types. We grew quite a few different ones some years back, the differences between them was unbelievable. Having said that, standard crack willow will produce log size stuff very quick.

I can answer this bit.....it is an ornamental park and has many non native plants in it. Can't id the oak for you though sorry.

If you wait until the kids are older you will find yourself just as tied to them when grandchildren come along. Unless of course your kids decide to emigrate without you. I know this because i have experience of both.

I think they make the holes on their way out rather than in.

Look again, I think it might be.

I have/had quite a few fields where the mare's tail marks the drains out very well.

Deadly Asian hornets that devour bees and can kill humans 'arrive in Britain'

Not hornbeam then?

Growing my own bareroot trees
Peasgood replied to spandit's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
The cheap systems aren't very good but reasonable drippers are not a bad price. I would buy some drippers separate to whatever kit you bought as that's what lets them down. -
Wow !

I think the scientists did eventually conclude that glyphosate could be carcinogenic at about the same level as sausages are. The rules are that if you are being paid to apply chemicals then you are required to have the appropriate certificate. I am not keen on all these rules and inspectors etc but for once i think it right you should have one. You should be able to demonstrate you know how to calibrate a sprayer at the very least. Most folk just tip on double the recommended rate "just to be sure".
