    Are you going to put hot liquids in it? Either way, would beeswax not be nicer?

    Frank Mathews in Tenbury Wells would be the first place I would ask. Other than that, local garden centres. Can't remember the current name of the garden centre near Oulton Park (Wyevale I think), they usually have decent sized fruit trees in stock. Not massive full grown ones of course.

    Exactly what trace elements do you think are in there that do you any good and how much salt would you have to eat to have any benefit from those trace elements? The salt will kill you before you have any benefit from the trace elements (which are found in normal food anyway)

    It's a rat trap Jon. Works well. (Ps. I have a few of them and this one is new and unused. I wouldn't have a used one indoors)
  5. Peasgood
    I like these traps. Very easy to set with just one hand. Place them as in the pic so the rat crosses over them as the run by the wall. Rats have poor eyesight and prefer to hug against walls when they travel.

    Unless something changed since they told me about it at college, leylandii is infertile.

    20 INCH 126W CREE LED Work Light Bar Alloy Spot Flood Combo Offroad Truck SUV | eBay Very good, very bright. Had mine a couple of years now I guess and happy to recommend. The 12" version is very nearly as good. I changed to the bigger one simply because it looked better in the bullbar, the brightness wasn't a lot greater as far as I could tell.

    Very rare I see them Jon, Steve has his finger on the button.
  9. Peasgood
    Yep, definitely some strange posts on this forum.

    Biggest issue if you are thinking to sell it is the sap. You get some of that stuck to someones posh carpet and you are knackered! Store it completely open to the elements for a couple of years before processing it and you stand a chance, longer is better. Good wood once dried for kindling or logs. Burns hot and leaves little ash. Downside is it doesn't really produce coals and only the best log burners that can be shut right down have any chance of staying in for more than a couple of hours. Spits so not best suited to open fires but open fires are a very inneficient way of trying to heat.

    The little black thing on the left is what was in the box.

    Mine has to be lit so no coming home to a warm house. That is the luxury of oil that I miss, but not enough for me to want to put an oil boiler back in. When I had oil I just couldn't afford the fuel so the house wasn't warm then either, it is much warmer now i am on wood only. I tell the missus she can have the heating on flat out as much as she wants. Not many can say that is there.
  13. Peasgood
    That's what I do. Apart from light, I do have electricity for that. All heating, cooking, hot water is wood fires. Apart from having to deal with the ash and putting up with sawdust trailed through (hardly any) it is fine.

    Just wondering if you lot ever killed anyone? Damned miracle if you didn't.

    Must be hornbeam grafted into a birch then.

    The boar will eat the rabbits if they can catch them. I'd say that was a deterrent.
  17. Peasgood
    Yes. leylandii. tons and tons of it. The stuff on my fire today was planted about 35 years ago and all we've done is cut the tops off to leave a 12' hedge behind which is still growing. If I live to a hundred I will never burn it all.

    You can get some extra bendy rods for the bendy liners. I think they are made of silicon and cost a heck of a lot more than a draining rod. I have 3 chimneys in use, two haven't been swept in my lifetime and don't need it either. The third one is ss lined and does need it. I do it myself using a 6" flue brush fastened to some small diameter fibreglass rods that are sold for cable pulling. Does the job for me and goes round the bends that draining rods (silicon or not) will never get round. As mentioned, cover someones living room in soot, bricks and jackdaws nests all over their white carpet and sofa and see what you get.

    Maybe you'd get a better response on a secret agent forum. Maybe most of us don't want to tell the world we already have tracking devices in our equipment.

    Page 14 and for all you know when/if they turned up at the hearing they said sorry, don't blame you for not climbing that day.
  21. Peasgood
    I liked that so much I watched it twice.
  22. Peasgood
    So what happened at the hearing then?
  23. Peasgood
    I have a horizontal and a vertical splitter, horizontal is Hand, vertical is Oxdale. They both split 18" and that is the length I want. I prefer to use the horizontal but that is mostly down to it being 4 way rather than 2 way like the Oxdale. Other than that I don't really see a massive amount of difference and will probably come down to personal preference. One thing I will say is that I can't imagine wanting a horizontal that pushes the blade into the wood, I would only want one that pushes the wood into the blade. ie. blade on end of splitter rather than blade on the ram.
  24. Peasgood
    Love your splitter and what it can do, very much not so keen on the idea of having a separate person to the loader working the levers! There are massive risks of injury there as can be seen from the vid. On one occasion you put your hand back in after it seems you had finished loading and at another point you had your whole arm in there. Please don't take this as having a dig, it is serious concern for your safety! You should make it so you work the levers yourself.

    Simon does really accurate forecasts without the sensationalism. Very difficult to say this without sounding bad but I do tend to nod off half way through.
