  1. Easy way to double your land area! I find it hard to estimate land area, so I use this: Area calculator - Outline a property on a google map and find its area
  2. Hi all. I'm toying with the idea of getting a wooden turned fountain pen. Seen a few online, but thought I'd see what people on here can make? Preferably in a pretty native wood - walnut perhaps? I'd like to see pics and prices for any that people have made. Can only cartridge fountain pens be made, or are the ones with a built in ink reservoir and suction device to fill it via the nib also possible? Many thanks.
  3. Lovely work. How long did they take to make?
  4. Again, can I ask what the rough total cost was please? Trying to compare the cost of a commercial install with a domestic install...
  5. And some quite interesting videos too. Having said that, woods4sale seems to have better prices. Or at least it used to - I think they've been creeping up recently.
  6. They're good at SEO and marketing too, plus have an interesting blog and things on their site. They were the first site I found when I started looking for a woodland, and they do good clear particulars too.
  7. Does a domestic install come in at under 26,000?! How do you find it?
  8. Thanks ES. Sounds quite expensive to me, but then I'd be thinking of a small domestic system, not commercial.
  9. I'm just round the corner from wraxall - we considered getting married in the battleaxes! If you need somewhere local to get rid of wood (conifers included) rather than dragging it back to Dorset please think of me! (For my personal wood burner use only - worth a try!)
  10. Eco Angus are based down near me, and I was vaguely thinking about getting one in future. Good to know they do a good job. Can I ask which model you've got, and what the total installed cost was? (PM me if you'd rather). Cheers.
  11. Can't help you personally I'm afraid. But you could try putting this post in the chainsaw forum too... Chainsaws - Arbtalk.co.uk | Discussion Forum for Arborists
  12. Thank you. Interesting to see - quite a leisurely growth, but you can see progress. Did you keep the young trees weeded / watered / mulched for the first year or two, or just leave them to it? I assume you didn't use tree shelters? Do you happen to know what sort of percentage survived from the first planting? Useful for my future plans!
  13. Fair enough. My car's too small to be worth the drive I'm afraid! Good luck.
  14. Don't suppose you'd be going anywhere near Bristol on your way home?! Cheers.
  15. Lovely grain in the wood. And good effort on making the kit to let you do it.
  16. Thanks. Handy, and looks good too.
  17. Nice! What's the little tractor with the pallet forks? Looks a good wee beastie.
  18. Sure chap, no hurry! If you could see your way to moving the wood close to Bristol, I'd be happy to come and help out?!
  19. Thanks. I don't actually sell logs, so don't have many to experiment with! But I'll give it a go when I get a chance
