Never had sex till I was married (at 60!)

Never come across a girl like that!

I expect that you will have several trees down to top up your firewood shed!

I think that the tragic death in Rothbury and the 16000 homes with no electricity in the North East and Scotland, does demonstrate the need for a reliable backup heat source when the electricity supply is cut by storms, overloading, breakdowns or even terrorism. A wood burning stove is not just a very pleasant form of everyday heating, but could be the difference between life and death in some circumstances The more we become reliant on electricity the more likely it will be overloaded, especially if everyone has an electric vehicle

Just found this link which states further down the page that bats do indeed eat woodworms! Bat BOOKS.GOOGLE.CO.UK Readers will discover a variety of information about this night creature. Topics cover nutrition, movement, growth, and...

The cabin did have a bit of wood worm in the first year, but since the logs are over a foot in diameter,, many 18 inches they do not seem to penetrate very far. Because it was built in the BSE year Mad Cow disease the team from Devon run by the talented Dan Franklin could not build it in situ in the Summer so we had to build it in a barn that Winter and then move it the following Summer. This meant that some of the logs in the top layer had warped slightly, not having had a heavy roof to hold them down over Winter The result being a tiny gap which a Pipistrelle bat could just squeeze through and there now is a thriving colony there doing well by the lake where there are plenty of insects. Perhaps they also feed on woodworms??? I need to build a whole lot more cabins for people who like Glamping and want to escape the next ever so scary mutant strain that the government can control the population with Woodenways | WWW.WOODENWAYS.COM

The reason I did the cabin was because a friend from Oregon told me of a Church there built of poplar that was 120 years old and still in good order. The log cabin here stairs on six large lumps of sandstone so is off the ground with plenty of air under it It is true that a poplar log lying in the ground will rot quicker than nearly any other wood I can think of, but the cabin shows no signs after 21 years

I think that the cage does work well to protect them from the initial attack and gives them time to flip into the Holly

I’m not scared, I’m not scared of the big bad Hawk!

They were back within minutes!

Just saw this Sparrow Hawk dive at a crowd of Blue and Great Tits on the bird feeder which managed to escape into the Holly bush. He then sat on the log cradle looking dejected in the snow!

That is a very unfrondly comment!

Very useful video thank you

I know where I can have it done , just could not believe it would happen with a brand new out of the box blade but I will change it back to one of my spares to check

I have owned this machine since 1996 and had no trouble in all these years. I have changed the 700mm blade several times for sharpening and have three spare blades all multi teeth carbide tipped. A blade that was due for a sharpening suddenly started to vibrate and looking down the line of the blade a 1/8 inch wobble could be seen on start up but it ran true when cutting or when slowing down after I turned the 3 phase electric motor off. I assumed that the blade hade warped and become heated at some time so I changed it for a brand new blade today which did exactly the same thing. I grease the bearings regularly and I can detected no play at all in the blade and when I put my finger on top of the bearing shaft on the grease nipple I cannot feel any vibration when running there but it is quite apparent that the whole machine is shaking slightly. Apart from having two unbalanced blades by sheer chance, can anyone think of anything else to check.

You are obviously as sad as me! What started me thinking was the thread on weights of wood, Loose stacked/m3 tight stacked and solid. I will try and weigh an even log of Sycamore with accurate dimensions and cut it up with the Lucas into perhaps 8x8 or 6x6 or 6x8s at 18 inches long and stack a couple of my potato boxes, one tight and one loose as a matter of interest. I have the top half of this Elm which is looking very interesting so I will try and weigh the whole log for a Christmas competition if the scales will take it! Well done everyone, at least it made you all think! Looking forward to Conor's chainsaw thread "I learned about chainsawing from that!"

Slab of Elm Andrew. 504 kg Spruce Pirate. 153 kg Woodworks. 299 kg AJStrees. 240 kg. (300) Topchippyles. 220 kg Trigger Andy. 235 kg. (270) Dave at Dave. 375 kg Puffing Billy 380-400 kg Timm 295-310 kg Muttley. 345 kg Mark J. 425 kg Spud dog. 376 kg Treerover. 160.2 kg Mr Ed. 275 kg Conor Wright. 272 kg Squaredy. 371 kg Monkey Business. 356 kg Organic Guy. 292 kg Josh Purton. 346 kg Bike User. 256 kg Dumper. 306 kg Wonky. Well it looks as though Conor Wright is the closest at 272 kg as the scales say 296 kg less the 25 kg Wiltec grab equals 271 kg. So only one kg out! Hats off to Mr Ed for 275 kg Quite a few not far away Trigger Andy said he would not be surprised at 270kg which is lucky for me as it would either have to be half a mug or two mugs! Did not quite have the centre of gravity right when lifting but it does give a wonderful dappled effect on the slab which is not the grain! So perhaps Conor can give us all a talk on chainsaws as a punishment for winning! What has he learned about them, what makes does he prefer, how does he sharpen them, and any advice he would give to a beginner . So if you can pm your address Conor I will see if they have any mugs left or if they have all been bought by Arbtalkers!

Are you paying the postage?

Everyone on Arbtalk has probably seen it and thought that it would be a good Christmas present, so by the time I have selected a winner they will have run out!

That sky could frighten children who have been indoctrinated at school with "The World's on Fire" You should have put in a guide warning "Some viewers may find these images disturbing"
