I use Woodchip directory, as a supplier, it’s been great but what I have noticed is a lot of the people who’d registered had done so ages ago and I was the first person to tip. Most people in the trade don’t know about it and the few I’ve pointed in it’s direction now use regularly. Could be the spawning of a new era if more codtractors new about it and weren’t left floundering looking for a bass to tip at…..

Some biggish ash today, I’d put em aside to mill in 2018 but got some bigger butts t do now! Took 20 minutes to load 3.5 m3 of 18” logs -
Further down includes horticulture with agriculture/forestry etc in exemption: At Budget 2020 the government announced that it was removing entitlement to use red diesel from most sectors, except for agriculture (as well as horticulture, forestry and fish farming), rail and non-commercial heating, from 1 April 2022.

Yep my missus walked in during ’that’ scene and asked wtf are you watching? Then got hooked on it! On a lighter note I’ve broken countless bottles with a fish slice at bbq s trying to emulate Jake’s missus’ skills

My daughters boyfriend bought the Oregon f cutting up outside his workshop, said it’s great, the chains same as the Powersharp ones, so if you give them 3secs @ full chat as instructed they don’t last long! Had power sharp chain on 200t for a bit was quite good having sharpener on harness when stripping dense ivy wi birds nests in!

This has most appeal to me, I’ve been asked to do a couple of days milling at vintage shows so would be good to rock up in it towing sawmill with Alaskans and saws etc in lockers, even thought of replacing pump (which is cracked thanks t previous owner not draining) with dust extractor and hoovering up sawdust into 400 gallon tank, obviously subject to whether I can suck it out again! Also thought about spraying orange but it actually matches my cabstar (red double cab with ali box)

Went a bid mad this week and bought this old thing! Not sure which way t go with it, have thought about converting to living space, but would rather utilise as work truck somehow but don’t want to destroy its character!

Paid upfront for a carpenter to make us a new king size bed. He's only gone and done a bunk! It's just one thing on top of another....

There was an old man who lived by a forest. As he grew older and older, he started losing his hair, until one day, on his deathbed, he was completely bald. That day, he called his children to a meeting... He said, "Look at my hair. It used to be so magnificent, but it's completely gone now. My hair can't be saved. But look outside at the forest. It's such a lovely forest with so many trees, but sooner or later they'll all be cut down and this forest will look as bald as my hair." "What I want you to do..." the man continued. "Is, every time a tree is cut down or dies, plant a new one in my memory. Tell your descendants to do the same. It shall be our family's duty to keep this forest strong." So they did. Each time the forest lost a tree, the children replanted one, and so did their children, and their children after them. And for centuries, the forest remained as lush and pretty as it once was, all because of one man and his re-seeding heirline.

I thought it would b, but wondered if there some sort of snobbism involved as a chap who does hedgelaying in our area always asks if I’ve got hazel in spite of there bein loads of nice willow coppice closer to him! This is prob one of my favourite threads on AT, I don’t do hedge laying but would like to, though a friend and I did do 300m of 7 yr old mix species a few yrs ago ( took 2 days) by doing pleach cuts and pinning down with the next one, no stakes or binders. It didn’t look as beautiful as the stuff you pros do but has worked well Sadly the customer won’t shell out for cost of materials for doing proper job as there are literally miles of hedge that would benefit from laying now the spirals have been removed

Is willow any good for binders?

Maybe “convenience pile” would b better term?

It’s a load of toss, I have notified all my customers who 1 m3 loads (about 10% of customers) that I will no longer b doing loads under 2m3 and all bar one have said they’ll have 2 in the future. We now invoice all customers via email with a note to say may need further seasoning although mc is often at 20 it can b as high as 25

I paid £100 off a friend, for mine but seen it up for 300 on Amazon when I was searching for a copy -
Admirable setup and work ethic from someone so young![emoji106] So is £100-130 the going rate for any timber over say 10” top diameter that’s relatively good for milling?
