  1. I remember chatting to someone who was out on a job yrs ago, & him saying he just binned all his chains once blunt, said he couldn't be bothered with the hassle sharpening them & it wasn't worth his time to do so. 🤔
  2. Theres some similar ones for sale in UK & USA mostly called masonary stoves but they tend to be expensive versus iron stoves from looking on the websites. Some are ceramic tiled some are just plain fire brick. I think its a very good design concept could be a DIY kit with firebricks & plans etc for a more basic one. Masonry heater - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Good article on them: Sunbathing in the Living Room: Oven Stoves and Heat Walls SOLAR.LOWTECHMAGAZINE.COM Oven stoves are greener, more efficient, healthier, safer and cosier than all modern heating systems. Why are they gone... EDIT: I don't understand why there saying masonary stoves produce mainly raidiant head and iron ones convective heat though..... Not sure that parts right?
  3. Local places now all seem to be selling thoose crates from eastern europe. I wonder if theres actually more profit margin in that than buying in unprocessed?
  4. Interesting axe. The one I use is a cheap "splitting maul" type with about a 2.5kg head weight with a fibreglass handle. Looks like this^ I prefer the fibreglass to a wood handle less shock & found the head just the right weight Your axe head shape looks to be one designed for hewing hewing+axe - Recherche Google WWW.GOOGLE.COM

  7. I agreee 18 months should be ok especially if the oak is split into thinner logs to increase surface to volume ratio, but out of interest you could also get a moisture meter to check the logs % moisture to know for sure. Makita ea6100 ? Shame they are not making them anymore. How much does firewood cost per 1m3? I use a polytunnel as a wood shed so if you do have the space ideal for an extra wood shed.....

  11. Test a log when its delivered before its unloaded would be best I don't buy seasoned logs too expensive for me, but many people I know or worked for have and it seems it as often as not the logs are unseasoned. The stuff wooden in crates normally is seasoned ok, most packed that way comes imported from eastern europe or the baltic states etc I think, as im not sure that style of crates are packed from UK sourced wood? Im not sure its all ethically or legally sourced though as alot of illegal tree felling going on in some countries. Better imo to try get logs from the UK as normally is cheaper than the crates, but normally will come loose or in dumpy bags which I suppose might be more hassle to store....

  14. Kiln drying is used as marketing hype for naive customers as the method thats being used for the wood drying gives zero advantage to you. Wood kept in a garage or wood store in winter will reabsorb moisture from the air & be back up to near 20%. Unless its stored in the house with central heating on it will not stay at 15%. So any kiln dry marketing etc which usually means more expensive logs , will be a worthless extra expense. Buy yourself a cheap £20 moisture meter & don't bother about drying methods just try & buy wood thats under 20%. You need to spilt one log and test the middle. As alot of wood sold as kiln dried or air seasoned often isn't fully seassoned in reality - buyer beware.

  20. Most aren't in that good a condition some small bits like in pic have being recently rennovated. But there are many miles of it.
  21. All honda stuff is & its very common. Also makita
  22. Fences can get stolen round here as some woods have the slate fences & they aren't cheap. Also walling stone
  23. You could try asking on the USA arb forums? They are more likely have come across the species.
  24. I think it two different species of trees. The strawb tree may well survive doesn't look completely ring barked but the the outer bark layer is damaged etc. The other tree looks like a bay tree perhaps but the pics are bad so its hard to say? The type of bark on the strawberry tree looks like it could heal better than some other tree species that have bark that peels off completely down the the cambium in one layer. Moss & lichen etc on trees bark etc are best left alone. Had a few similar cases were people often think its harming there trees in some way. One bloke who spent days every yr with a scrubbing brush cleaning lichen off an orchard of apples trees. There is is some old fashioned traditional idea to "winter wash" fruit trees to supposedly control aphids/pests. But I have come across people cleaning all kinds of other rdm garden trees. but not with pressure washers but with with a scrubbing brushes & bleach etc... 🤨
