    There will be no homegrown softwood for construction by the time these mad new tree planting schemes get going. I reckon the new generation of forestors have been brain washed into planting crap. I know big conifer plantations are not very wild life friendly but they are a necessary evil.

    those veritas power tenon cutters go up to 2inch, probably take some holding though,the inch ones will spin your arms off when they catch. they kill drills to.

    hi gimlet can you confirm if those holly mallets are just a section of trunk with a branch growing out as the handle.

    Which item continues to make you smile at its performance. My sad and battered 55 year old zetor tractor amazes me,it was £400 30 years ago and has done everything ive asked of it.It lives outside and has been boiled and run low of oil,but always starts again after a rest,it powers the splitter or sawbench day after day and can still earn half its original cost in a day.

    hi coppice how about vented barrow bags,they contain .25 of a cube.They can be moved about with a decent sack truck and could be manhandled onto landy. I usually stand 4 on a pallet tied together for stability while they season.

    am I right in thinking Adam Worboys etc gets you a head start in alphabetical listings,just behind aardvark services.

    I can only tell you about how good the mosquito bags are,i use them to finish drying my stock off, Stack them with the mesh side to the wind for good airflow and make sure to keep rain out from above. The ones with bottom loops suit my system as I use them to tip logs out on trailer. My current bags will have been used about 8-10 times and are now on their last legs,but I am now double bagging to get more use out of them.

    If only we could get the managers from the best hospitals to sort out the worst ones. The biggest problem in the nhs is that the shit employees are so difficult to sack that they get promoted upwards and then recruit their useless mates to surround them. Next time you are in a hospital and the service is rubbish,start turning the staffs I.D badges the right way round so you can see their names,they love being anonymous.

    Just heard from my sharpening guy,that my blade tips are damaged/lost, Any info about retipping costs or services would be great blade has only been sharpened twice and cost around £220,i think it was stone inside some hedgerow firewood plus barb wire that had grown in.

    I reckon if you made a foot high extension to that little trailer and heaped the load up a bit,you would be on the cube. It would tip up by hand to empty as well.

    Does anyone else suffer from scary ignitions in their stoves after stoking up onto sleepy embers, we get a fair old pop and a puff of smoke into the room.
