    The welmac urban tr70 or the bigger tr110 would eat up inch square oak strips 3 or 4 at a time,that would make cracking fuel too.

    Just worked out that it costs about £2.30 to fill my husky 372xp with 2 stroke mix and chainoil,that started me wondering how much more to add for chain and bar wear per refuelling and lastly depreciation on the saw. I bet it adds up to over £3 per refill.

    Anyone use a chopsaw with multipurpose blade to cut up builders/scrap timber?im tempted by the one in screwfix flyer cuts up to 12x3,looks it a bit more civilised than my pto sawbench for scrap stuff.How long would a blade like that last cutting nails and stuff.

    trouble with rapeoil is the smell of chips and cooking while using it,wonder if you can add anything to it to take away smell and add a bit more clinginess.

    When ive had a conundrum like this in the past,i have put a cheap small ad in local paper for the proposed service(ie flail mowing) and then judged the response as to whether there is demand for that machine.If the response is good you have confidence buying the kit to make money straight away.

    Forgot to say,if you have a dumpy on trailer it can usually be tipped off by pulling the two handles nearest the hitch towards the back,then the bag falls off and lands upside down.

    You get some useful ali sections on old stairlifts,i made a logosol type set up with one.

    Ive got a trailer like yours and I put an empty dumpy bag inside it,then roll the bag down and fill with logs whilst rolling the sides back up then I tie the handles together with bale twine and charge £40.The good thing about that trailer is you can push it round like a barrow,up side of houses etc.

    Anybody see much potential in the newly announced scheme.

    Any bright ideas on machines to cannibalise into a diy kindler,i cant justify buying one but would like to improve on the manual method.Apart from an old power hacksaw there must be other old machines with a similar motion or mechanism.

    Is the client aware that you know the work has been done by someone else? If not you could ring to confirm the start time and see what response you get,possibly an embarrassed apology.

    Hope I don't sound like an anorak,but I like checking stuff like this. I bought an artic of softwood[26 cube they claimed] it converted into 100 dumpys or approx. 50 cube of split firewood. I was also curious about the margin on netting logs,i took 3 dumpy bags[worth£100 to me at the time]and netted them to make 75 good nets containing 10-12 logs in each. Results for me was@£2.50 a net I converted£100 of logs into £182 in 2.5 hours,the nets were £10 so I reckon a gain of approx.£29 a hour of effort,also gave me a new set of customers as the only garage in my town sells nets at £4.10.
