i have been keeping my fire going for the last 3 months on free offcuts from b&q
the best stuff is chipboard posts things they use to deliver sheet wood instead of pallets,easy to snap to length required, burns hot and hardley any ash and free,mdf is also good in open fire no sparks,
You been raiding their bins then..

Morning All!
Normally I would say just chop it down and get rid of conifer (or at least that is what Ive been told.)
But... In this instance, I renovating a property and got over 30 sizable conifers, I'm in process of stripping branches and have a nice bonfire. However are the stumps worth cutting down, splitting and seasoning or just get rid?
Are the seasoning times the same as I always thought there was alot of sap in a conifer.
Thanks in advance.

Tying your own is certainly cheaper... That's a dead Cert.
Oh well my E2E's will do for now. ha!
**GEEK WARNING**
P.S. My 100th Post, yay!!

I would say Type C are best for climbing for all round protection. Or have I got them the wrong way round.
-
That's the setup I have. It's just with knots it bulks it all out on the binner I feel.
-
No joy yet... Still hunting for one. The joys of eBay.
-
I need one! :-)

I purchased the honey bros hitchclimber kit about 4 years ago with the spliced OP, then when it wore out I just used lengths of cord with fisherman knots, it made no difference to the functionality of the HC. It's only bulky when using a rope wrench tether with two tails.
Got a pic? Just so I can confirm we're on the same wave...
-
Rather than a loop, you would tie the knot each end of the rope directly to the crab. Ie a fisherman's in place of the eye splice, does that make as much sense in words as it does it my mind?!
Yeah I have tried it with termination knots but its all a bit messy I feel... Most likely just OCD kicking in. Ha!
-
Great Video, makes me want to learn how to splice even more...
-
Also, just buy a bit of cord and tie fishermans knot instead, much cheaper!
This will sound daft but I thought with the hitchclimber ideally you needed the rope either side i.e. with E2E you can have an eye either side.

Are the 024/026/028 pretty much the same machines? Or based on the same model.

Morning All,
I understand I'm opening myself to a little abuse here but hey ho!
I'm looking at getting a chainsaw to take apart and learn to basics behind them, unless I get a bargain which is in great condition
But which machines are the most robust that people recommend still to date. I know my GFs father has a Stihl 024 and its been and still is fantastic.
I do like the Stihl brand so think I will stick to that. Also a model which parts are still easily avalible at reasonable prices.
Anyone got any recommendations?
-
still useful tho ?
Without doubt.

if your still worried get him to pay by paypal as a gift, no charges then apply
PayPal Gifts can still be reversed I believe.

Personally, I find working on saws bliss as you can get them on a bench and work on them with your back straight!
I would have to agree with working position, I've slouched too much in my life already and back aches sometimes due to that.
Well think I'm going to just mess around with one on a bench. Practise makes perfect, everyone has to start/learn somewhere. :-)
-
Nice work! I did my first ever tree climb with the help of Simon (WorcsWuss), only went about 5 meters but I was a fantastic insight! Loved very second. Mow a few weeks later I'm skin du o amount of fun stuff I've purchased.

He's most likely shutting his eyes and hoping if the best... Either that or hoping he will just die. Ha! Then he wakes up and it was all a dream....

Burn it and keep warm! :-)

Guys this Q was originally post n 2011 I believe.
-
Currently it's raining and pouring!! And is hitting the window quite hard keeping me wake. Yawn..
-
As above. Ensure the money is in your account. Not just showing as that doesn't always mean its cleared.

You can still climb upwards whilst crapping your pants
:lol::lol:
