  1. Was the spoon workshop "whittle n waffle"?
  2. Cool , i like the dogs!😀
  3. Their a great crane ( had one on my old m type ), the delicacy is down to the operator!😀
  4. My wood was coniferised in the 60's and the rabbit mesh has gone but I've been pulling out the 3" post and reusing them as they are still really solid (15 stone jump test!)😀
  5. In one wood I work in, the owner asked us to cut everything flush to the ground this year and were replanting with hornbeam and more hazel n oak. The older trees definitely in decline and I'm constantly removing infected saplings in my woods😟
  6. Sadly it's everywhere mate, we're lost over 90% of coppice regen
  7. You'd be lucky to gat road planings round here for under 15 delivered but then I've never had it with sand or anything else added to it.
  8. I have to remove my smug smile coz I checked small print and am not insured for hire😔 BUT the few people I hire know how to treat it and canny with security😏
  9. Nice one, I did something similar with a wrens nest on yew couple of weeks ago, trimmed the branch it was on and wedged it further in crown and wrapped ivy over top to make it less visible to sparrow hawks , magpies etc and now chicks in it😀
  10. Big feller with is hand on the loader bucket😀

    Files.

    I do this as it sorts damaged teeth quicker if I've been cutting stumps really low or gritty wood, also found Stijl files to last a lot longer than Oregon ones
  12. I haven't moved quite so far (nr Norwich) and my mrs has to drag me back!😀 David, nice pics though post topping, there is another one along a back a lane between Beccles and Norwich,think it may be near as big but long time since I passed it, am gonna have a look on the way home from work tomorrow
  13. Have visited that tree many times to admire, it had a substantial amount taken of the top a few years ago (looked awful in winter. Incidentally the cul de sac opposite was called hornbeam close after the tree as it was wrongly identified many years ago! Very sad to see it gone😢
  14. Good stuff woodworks is similar to what I am trying to do except I'm using an old rolling/off skip and redundant 500lt lpg tanks. Do the holes face directly down onto the box? Does the initial thicker smoke not smother the fire before it reaches higher temp?

    Cuckoo

    Heard one yesterday, it was the first one I'd heard here in three years!
  16. Openspaceman, you really listened at school!😀
  17. I hire mine out but only to people I know,sharpened blades every time and I make it clear 'you bend you mend' had it eight months and hire has payed 3/4 the initial purchase price (4k), no problems so far, but I do worry😏
  18. They're sometimes larch and Douglas (but the gribble gets em quicker)
  19. Tip or shovel?
  20. Hats the one!
  21. Always been interested by the Adam retort and I found new(ish) YouTube of them trying a new small mobile version in Bavaria and are looking for a manufacturer/ entrepreneur to take it further
  22. There's no way I could make it pay if I had to buy wood in at current prices😀
