if i was to use felt i would put the battens running from top to bottom instead of side to side, screwed or nailed to the top side of your trusses
-
here is a quick cross section.

yes one batten for feather/waney edge, i was thinking about scotch lap. the type of insulation is not so important for the size of the build, any heat saved with high performance insulation could be quickly lost through windows, frames or doors, or when you open the door. will there be insulation under the floor? why not use box profile or corrugated iron for the roof, it would almost guarantee a water tight roof. it may also work out more cost effective with a longer lasting material. also you wouldnt need to have OSB or ply with tin as it would be mounted on battens above your membrane that sits above the insulation and trusses i think the membrane should be on the insulation side of the air gap to allow the cladding extra air to dry when damp. i can see the membrane holding moisture if its hard against the cladding

kingspan sounds expensive i would use 100mm glass wool insulation between framework then on the outside of the frame have a sheet of ply to hold the insulation, on the ply i would mount a building paper or roofing paper usually rubberoid then at 600mm spacings vertically fix a 10mm x 40mm strap (i call them drip strips because they allow water to run off your paper) on the strap fix a 40mm x 50mm batton horizontally this gives your air gap, then mount your cladding

i welcome vosa checks. once you have had one or two vosa will recognize your fleet and leave you alone. you should be off the road if you have something to hide

DayZ is almost as realistic as it gets

agg221 thankyou for your post IP sounds like a good direction.

ive seen the pezzolato and the smaller pinosa processors but never searched the larger models their higher output is 28 tons per hour on firewood around 70cm in length. they are very professional bits of kit but they are different

fancy a game? im an infantry gen boss, lol sad i know

problem is it would be very difficult to build a machine (for production) without using other companies designs. an example would be the multitek 3040 has an overhead shuttle grapple for clamping and feeding logs. in my design a grapple would slide on a carriage on the log deck, by doing this its infringe-ing their existing patent however if this machine works well and has ideally two patents they could be valuable to competing processor manufacturers, where you would then get a return on investing in the patent i.e. sell them or get a percentage of sales i know an engineer that (or so the story goes) built a Christmas tree netting thing long time ago that was copied and if it was patented he would be having a happier retirement

Hi guys What is the best way to patent the unique functions on a prototype firewood processor. To my knowledge there is no current machine that can process multiple stems, cut and split at speed on a commercial volume but there could have been and its already patented. I have heard of online companies that can search through stacks of info and they will then apply for the patents for you but i would rather take plans/pictures to a uk based organisation or even take the processor to them (haven started building it yet:001_rolleyes:) to get a personal hands on approach? Has anyone dealt with a good company and what costs could be involved? timescale is not an issue as i dont intend on producing machines this will be a one off but i dont want my ideas stolen!

Mean while in Scotland...

i find pine through a circular saw cuts like butter, could be getting a resin build up?
-
but its £76k
-
i have checked the registration document and it is classed as an agricultural machine. it also has trailer brakes and impressive on board brakes. but i wouldnt recommend regular heavy trailer work although everyone dose it
-
should be i think my telli can tow 18tons on the road and as its an ag registered vehicle this should be in the same class as a tractor?
