I do a fair bit of shooting and I do enjoy it. I justify it to myself as pest control. I love shooting rabbits and pigeons but can't justify shooting foxes, so I don't. They do me no harm so I do them no harm. I can understand the challenge of shooting woodcock and snipe but can't understand why people want to kill them just to prove they are a good shot. I can understand the enjoyment of being on the marsh at unsociable hours but don't understand shooting geese. By all accounts they don't even eat nice. Each to their own of course, just my opinions.

Is a 15 year guarantee realistic? I haven't used any timber recently that I thought would last 15 years in someone elses care. Are you going to come unstuck in 14 years when it turns out the treatment used on the wood wasn't all that good after all? On the other hand, how much meaning would a customer put into the 15 years anyway? I wouldn't expect it to last 15 years if I bought one. I doubt I would be living in the same house in 15 years and I'm damned sure i would have lost the receipt anyway. But there are those that would turn up on your doorstep in 14 years and 364 days, receipt and broken log store in hand.

I said something very similar on a shooting forum recently. They thought I was mad! I have never shot one myself.

No, that is how you clean the griddle.

I have made a few, just for myself and friends. Leylandii works very well. The bigger one in the pics took 2 gallons of water just to keep it cool enough to cook on.

Nothing on the Firewood Forum for 13 hours???!
Peasgood replied to ThrustSSC's topic in Firewood forum
I have a brand spanking new splitter coming this week, I am sawing up logs as quick as I can into a massive great pile. -
Ever so slightly longer than the fence does IMO

Next door neighbour thought he'd have a go...

Ex-VAT prices often quoted there.

Got mine from there a week or two back, eggsellent price too. All sold when I went in on Friday.

Just in case you never saw it Heinnie Haynes - Knives, Pocket Tools and Accessories

My favourite, but probably only because it is the most recent.
-
Thanks for the link, some stunning pictures.
-
I think the tip at Wardle is still open. Try that in Google
-
It would be even nicer if they dropped onto a splitter first. One step at a time
-
Used it for the first time recently. Fergie sawbench on a MF35 with a Lister bale elevator adapted to catch the logs off the saw. I am impressed with it. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqjfa37wGtA]saw+elevator-youTube[/ame]

Buy a brush and do it yourself Costs about the same as paying a sweep, free after that. Can't say I would want to have my chimney on fire for the sake of not paying a sweep anyway.

http://www.atkinson-walker-saws.co.uk/ELECTRONIC%20CATALOGUE.pdf Plate saw blade is what you want, lower down on the catalog. Awesome blades! No way a chainsaw can touch them for speed.

Some of his work, at 65. (the leylandii, the apple is my job) He did all of that row and more. Dropped, logged and tidied. My 6' son in the pic for scale.

I would prefer him not to use a chainsaw but it would be a bit of a challenge to actually stop him. As long as the business itself is not putting itself in the line of prosecution i am a lot happier about it. Yes he has used a saw before, I would say in his year of retirement he quite probably used a saw more than I will in my whole life and I do a fair bit.
-
Thanks for your help in pointing me towards it.

http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg317.pdf This means everyone working with chainsaws on or in trees should hold such a certificate or award unless: ■ it is being done as part of an agricultural operation (eg hedging, clearing fallen branches, pruning trees to maintain clearance for machines); and ■ the work is being done by the occupier or their employees; and ■ they have used a chainsaw before 5 December 1998. In any case, operators using chainsaws for any task in agriculture, or any other industry, must be competent under PUWER 98.

I guessed that really but wanted to know off you experts. Thank you for your help. I will go and hide his saw EDIT: I was replying to Felix rather than Wuss there.

I was expecting the cameraman to get a face full of log any minute.

Thank you. "he has to be trained" does that mean certificates or will "I showed him how to do it" suffice? I expect it means certificates but "adequate training" doesn't always result in a certificate. Or is it a case of "as I am the employer the best way to ensure proof of training is to be able to show a piece of paper" He's my Dad, he isn't going to take me to court if he does have an accident (God forbid) but I do need the business itself to be covered.
