    Yes it's all heartwood oak - really looking forwards to fitting it all together. So should I just use green oak pegs? cheers

    SteveA replied to crackoff's topic in Climbers talk

    Good advice that. I managed to slice my knuckle with the Silky Natanoko at the end of the day today.... nothing major, but deep enough to sting like a Was the final tooth nearest the handle that did it, just like you said. Seriously considering doing what you've suggested....

    I need to construct something to train our climbing & rambling roses. Wanting to have it a) long lasting and b) cheap ....so I'm looking to use a selection of fallen oak branches. I'd like to join where the branches crossover each other with wooden pegs, but I havent got any pegs made up or ANY seasoned wood. Would hornbeam be good for pegs?.... or ash?....or something else?

    Would a counterbalance help as well ...ie, do you find yourself lifting up the weight of the powerhead to prevent a tilted cut?
  5. SteveA
    Doesnt it dangle around and get caught up when you're pulling the wood out? (pardon the above, a perfectly innocent comment!)

    I think they're not really that expensive to buy. Have a look around for prices mate

    Ah yes, makes sense now. Thankyou But not understanding why the pin appears to be permanently attached to the chain link?

    Seeing the veins pumping in your left arm on those photos gave me a thought. Why not have a counterbalance weight (same as the powerhead weight) on the opposite side of the alaskan mill to stop it being heavy sided?.... Couple that with a remote accelerator and a hand winch. Easier?

    ....this is a new one for me, what's the needle thing about?

    Maybe they get a buzz from living in fear of being squished?
  11. SteveA
    Haha, yeah, and OMG, just imagine if you were sat on the bog as it happened!
  12. SteveA
    Which chainsaw are you running?
  13. SteveA
    Yeah, i think they may move the road around it! Good thing is that that one may help stop any others smashing the house to smithereens.

    Maybe should have titled it as: "gurtest most massive boulder you've ever seen in your life smashes through barn!"

    Interesting to see the Wayback Machine version. Will the new & improved arbtalk make cups of tea and pee for us so we can spend even more time on it?
  16. SteveA
    Absolutely massive version of skittles.... Wondering if more trees planted on the hillside might have stopped this?.... BBC News - Boulder smashes through Italian farm And check the photo of the second boulder that stopped just short of the car and house!

    Looking forwards to it. I would be happy to take a pre-look before you go live, if this might help iron things out?

    On ipad it's a different problem.... any big photos are adjusted to the screen size, but the text goes so small you can hardly read it.
  19. SteveA
    haha! That's exactly what i've been doing as well I wonder if the searches return the same things
  20. SteveA
    eh??? Why do YOU do that??
  21. SteveA
    Not sure why i've been doing this but I do searches on Arbtalk via google. Why do i do that??? Maybe have a dedicated permanent search box at the top instead of as a drop down link?

    I have found myself looking for an equipment forum a few times, but only found the chainsaw one. A forum for other tools, like wheelbarrows, spades, hand saws, scythes, etc would be a great source of information.
  23. SteveA
    oh dear, bad hair day? I suppose it is a bit windy, again.
  24. SteveA
    Moving along nicely now, back on the thread subject.... May I suggest more adverts like the Sugihara one to get the forum members, um, errr, more active?

    Here's our twin wheel Haemmerlin.... couldnt imagine pushing the bigger version of this (apart from leaves). Paid about £220 ish http://www.haemmerlin.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/CARGO-TWIN-160-GALV-PNEUMATIC.pdf
