Technically my body is telling me that too however I'm a stubborn old goat and do insist

I do the mud runs at eastnor and will be doing total warrior in august near shap. I want to do the rat race at burleigh which is 20miles which i certainly am not fit enough for but i am a resistant sod lol

Always found for strength literally two legged jump onto a box will do no end good. Hill walking and if you do running etc picking hills to sprint up. I don't climb for a living but i am up and down ladders in man holes. Sometimes with heavy weights on my back. I also do running events like mudruns at eastnor. I'm no string bean at 15.5 stone but i'm not unfit.

Stopped at a junction down a country lane near buckingham last week and spotted what looked like a baking tray embedded in a tree. Was white enameled as well. Quite bizarre
-
Well yes. Just a builders bag size.

Ive got a 742:/ Guess its just a hobby saw for small stuff then

Mine has been said to be erm phallic somewhat!

Would that make it good for smoking applications? -
As promised.

We just look on eBay and gumtree when we need some. Price tends to vary according to the weather a bit. We are Malvern based. You can get a pallet of heat logs in Hereford for £250 delivered which can last months. Price of firewood can be whatever you want. If you live in a village and there's someone who just sells a few bags a week at a slightly inflated price people will often go with that just for ease.

Wow that's steep. We pay £75 for seasoned split oak per bag delivered

The outer doesn't look like eucalyptus to me. I have some rounds of that and the bark is quite unusual. I'm thinking yew. Looks very like some rounds I have been offered. Pity it's been split. At about £10 a foot for a 5-6 inch round it's a good little wood with great finish. -
I guess with scaling up there becomes a requirement for larger machinery and so costs initially will increase plus the work has to be there to justify it. By being a small niche specialized operation there's the chance of a higher rate but less work. Swings and roundabouts

I basically have half a shed of stuff to go on my 90 but not the time. At a crossroads with it. If I start work properly in forestry etc then it'll be too small.

The rest won't tighten properly to the pole so there's some lateral movement. Really I new to service it and replace a few parts. Pretty sure first is ash yes. I bought a box of 10 rounds at auction in Ledbury. None labelled. The second is walnut. That was really nice to work with. I have some rounds of eucalyptus seasoning in saw dust in the garage at the moment too. Tried a piece of cherry but that's hard to work with. Big chunk came off. Was hoping to make a band to fit into this to give an unusual look.

Thanks. It can with a very short rest so keeping an eye out for a longer one. I am just doing it for relaxation and wind down after work at the moment. Something very relaxing about making a shape and smoothing it and watching the grain come out.
-
Turned back to front that might work for someone
-
I've only just started turning and this thread has been very informative thanks. Here's a couple of the things I've had a go at. Pretty basic really but teaching myself. I am running a Clarke with 5 speed. The rest isn't up to much though which is proving problematic!
-
Mainly out of necessity? Same here
-
Don't worry. Where are you? They're usually 110 utilties ones that you can cut down. Some have the support arms so can come a little forward of the cab. I'll message him in the morning if you like.
-
Wow. Makes my attempt with a chainsaw look positively amateur though I will say after leaving it in woods for a year to age and moss up a bit I think it looks pretty rustic. Pic to follow in daylight p.s was first time on chainsaw
-
I'll ask him if there's one about.
-
You chaps looking for roof racks, would ones like on 110 utilities do you? Might be able to put you in touch with someone if they will.

I have two options in harnesses. I have full rescue one which has the lanyard at the back or a standard waist and leg harness.
