Looking good Mark You know it’ll look lovely but at the end of the day it’s just a wee shed?!

Not done it for a long time but we used to cut a lot of reed and sedge for wildlife trusts on rougher bits of fenland, (usually had had scrub cleared so quite uneven) you can windrow reed nicely. BCS reciprocating mower was used a lot on more level areas but most of the sites we worked on you’d of lost an avant in the mire!

nepia, is there not much arable round your way, I get most of mine for free from farmers (amazingly!), they have regular supplies of manganese and I get 5+ a year from some of the bigger farms/estates

We’re goin to Dedham Cale for a couple of days, I’ve worked that way b4 but never had nose round n it’s only just over 30 miles from ours, there’s always treasures you haven’t found in you’re own region!

Lots of alder round here (nr the broads) but alder buckthorn only occasionally occurring, I didn’t know it was for the fuses

I thought it looked like an oversized Mini Countryman

I found the cartoon in the comments funnier

Also meant to say for years I was lead to believe it was alder buckthorn that was used for charcoal, but wondered where it grew in abundance, then we visited the Royal Gunpowder Mills at Waltham Abbey last year and it has its own (overstood) alder coppice that supplied the mill, I presume there was probably a lot more that has been developed on. It also has its own canal system!

A mate of mine had about 3000 piling from Gorleston dock: mostly greenheart, oak, jarah, larch, Douglas and Scots pine, but some other timber we weren’t sure of, the hardwoods were all sound but the gribble did for a lot of the softwoods particularly near dock bottom (I think), but were otherwise sound. My home is sitting on some Douglas ones: 30’ long and hand squares with adzes!

Very sad, I too only knew him from this forum but liked his sense of humour and taste in music
