Can’t remember what it’s called but the thing that used to be at the start of Tales of the Unexpected with pictures on inside going round?

No but they look cool

Oops! Must be the same one? The road plunges a bit on approach, similar one under A47 at Acle but actually plenty of room!

Friend I was subbing to lost wheelbarrow off roof of defender under the one at Needham on our way to Bonnie Wood years ago, no damage to Landry but didn’t half make us jump! [emoji23][emoji23] I used the road under bridge at other end of town when I drove cos I had 4x4 transit with roof rack (8” body lift)... still used to make me duck involuntarily[emoji849]

HELP NEEDED, 12"+ square or round timber required DRY...

What is it Steve? -
To b fair it was already ruined it had been welded where previously cracked from havin the poll repeatedly hit with hammer and the eye was distorted so a new handle wouldn’t have been any better, sadly won’t help the health of the gene pool as if the head flies off it probably won’t b him culled!

I no longer use a guide unless I’ve proper mullered the chain, really like the x cut chain stays sharp for a good while and easy to sharpen. Initially had a problem about halfway through chain with it not cutting quick: the depth gauges stick out to the side a touch so they sit proud as the cutters get shorter, I found you need to take a bit off side as well as top, hope that makes sense?

Was going to put this on the jokes thread but.......

Buy a chassis cab and put a box on and convert it, loads of hassle to build from scratch onto a flatbed (or demountable box on flat bed so you can convert to work[emoji12])

That’s cool! Any idea where it is?

Pollarding Study practical techniques
timbernut replied to Stere's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
We pollarded a whole coppice block of hornbeam about 20 yrs ago, never been back, probably should, would be interesting to see how it turned out. We also used used to do a couple of ash on the edge of blocks every season, sadly most have carked it from dieback. -
Yea glad you’ve got it sorted, hope you enjoy revealing the beauty within as much as I do[emoji106]

You won’t regret it[emoji106]

Cool! Reasonably local to us n all

Maybe you ordered the bar recommended for the mill? In which case it’s 3/8 lo pro and you just need to change sprocket and buy chain = smoother quicker cut. They usually send cobalt drill bit for you to drill bar yourself. Chainsawbars are probably the best online business I’ve dealt with but ordering can get a bit confusing, they’ll bend over backwards to help!

Dunno if it’s a myth but I was told a while back that McD litter culprits have been prosecuted cos they’d left receipt in dumped bag which has time of purchase and on camera if been via drive thru so reg picked up. Now I’ve typed it sounds unlikely

I’ve used a Lewis winch, very good but limited by drum capacity whereas capstan you’re only limited by length of cable/roe you have available. Not seen the multi drill attachment before looks useful
-
Totally agree, first used one for scrub clearance 20 years ago, was a Zollern Muli and we had it mounted on an 044, superb bit of kit but ridiculously expensive, I believe they’re about 6k now and that’s before you put a power head on! Was much heavier than the Eder but would pull a lot more

I don’t mind a McDonald’s or KFC etc, but the rubbish from them is e real pet hate of mine. We live right out in the sticks and nearest one is about 12 miles but I’m always picking other people’s takeaway junk from along the road. My car has a bin it’s called the passenger footwell and I empty it when I get home [emoji35][emoji35]

Damaging a bridleway during extraction
timbernut replied to claydon's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I am about to start work removing infected ash beside bridleway it’s also heavily used by commuting cyclists, most of it is very good surface but typically there’s a couple of wet bends that will be dodgy, for the cyclists in particular, the county council have asked to have any damage repaired within 14 days of completing extraction. I don’t think it will rut too badly, but wondering who’s liable should someone come a cropper, have ordered some slippery surface signs and we have to keep it open with a banksman on duty for the duration as we can’t close it completely as we usually do[emoji848]
