I got the wolf recently, brilliant for siding up conifers, however the anvil type snips struggle on beech that was well within its cutting parameters. Still a very good bit of kit for the money, but if you use it a lot you may want to spend more.

Not sure how much this lot would charge for delivery, or whether it would cope with that bank. https://goo.gl/photos/zi3ThGtuCqFTBt4d7

Supposed to do it every sharpen? Think some people don't like the writing being upside down...

Yep on a hot summers day, grokels parking all over the shop...love Devon, but remember the romans only got as far as Exeter before they said bugger it...

Was pretty slow in the whole scheme of things, a 300tdi 110 not a nitrous dodge charger, but felt exciting when you've been stuck behind a lost coach driver for the last 20 minutes. (the garage was closed, as are most services in the west country after 9pm on a friday night)

I undertook a grokel coach across the forecourt of that garage one night heading back into Marldon??

I think I know that one, on the hill behind Denbury prison?

@Big J should agree with this. You won't find lamb for sale anywhere in Germany, they don't even have lamb kebabs. Efficient buggers, can't be arsing around with sheep.

I hate sheep. Bloody nightmare, always looking for an excuse to die. Never owned any, but worked with other peoples. There are nicer, tastier, lower maintenance two and four legged forms of protein around, can't understand peoples fascination for them.

ps the trick is not to reverse...drive a bigger truck and tough it out Mind you I met a grain artic near Ipplepen once, I was in a unimog, blue rinse in a Micra between us had a melt down...I had to get out and back her car up for her..."you shouldn't bring those down here!" well he's collecting the harvest love, and I'm doing some sawmilling for the farm. maybe you should stick to the main roads?

I worked for an ag contractor for 3 years, on and off, mainly summer. Much sport was had by all when passing a "grokel" tucked into a passing place, if the 160 odd hp Massey, front loader with flat eight grab, and rear mounted rake, was perceived to fit, then you went through at full chat, you could definitely see the whites of their eyes ?

I learnt to drive in Devon, the narrow lanes seem to be accepted by most John, you must have know about them before you moved there? complaining is a bit like moving into Church Lane and moaning about the bells on a sunday morning...You're obviously not drinking enough cider, would make you a bit more laid back...you should try Cornwall, where things are done "dreckly"

2"x2" ffs it isn't rocket science? It's an arb body. I built one out of scrap 10mm ply and 2"x2" I milled myself from a shitty old Corsican Pine. All it cost was the screws.

Turning old wood from a shed into neat firewood

The teflon wears off after a few tons. Still a bloody good axe. -

I do about 15 tons of firewood a winter. Mostly for myself, but I sell a bit to family and friends as well. I run a log burner which heats my house, from september through to March. The wood is free, it is arb waste, a by product of work. I use a variety of axes, including, Helko Vario 2000, Gransfors bruks maul, Granfors bruks large splitting axe, Husky S280, Husky splitting maul, and the fiskars x27 does basically everything that all the others do. Except the Helko, that is like the nuclear answer to dense wood, if you can't split it with that then use a saw. -

Unless you have photographic evidence of non social distancing around a Beech on a beach, if it has some beetches (modern speak bro) in its branches, then I will bow out gracefully.
-
FFS man, I agree with a lot you say, and am not a grammar nazi, but PLEASE! stop this beech beach beetch stuff?

Anyone on here have any feedback on Steel Notch geckos? Funny Buggers have got them on offer at the moment. My Steins have been killing my shins.

Sounds like most farmers...?

Used to catch whiting off Shoreham harbour as a kid, in the winter, on lug worm. Delicious, they and Pollack were known as poor mans cod.
