I find my feet sweat loads in goretex lined boots so prefer non lined ones.

Dunno whats is so bad about wind turbines? One problem atm is blades are non recyclable that needs some fixing but supposedly they are gonna do that in future National grid has interconnects with the EU to balance power demand and generation also u can use pump storage systems like Dinorwic Demark has a system that thet must be some share of community ownership of them i think. Wether all the contracts to go to foreign companies is a seperate issue . Smaller turbines are less efficient - the local ones have being upgraded to larger versions on the same site But no reason you can't have both small and big.....

I saw a hedge layer who had made a nice copper overstrike protecter A cheap idea is a bike inner tube

Needs a bigger area cleared round the base in the turf imo But if its one of thoose invasive cotonaster sp it can spread all over theres acres of the stuff got out in the wild now....

Is the above which looks kind of drastic to me - spur pruning as used in modern commercial orchards ? I try to do the first one "regulated" as I like trees looking more natural.

Alot of farmers are actually injured and killed.

The handle I attempted developed a slight curve in both axis of direction which I thought wouldn't matter much as it was only very slight but it turned out it was actually annoyingly noticable (in a bad way) when used. Its seems it needed to be 100% straight on the sideways axis otherwise its not good. 😏

Theese ideals often sound good in the headlines until you think though the whole enviro impact & consequences. That just news reporting the cons goverment enviro policy its not an opinion piece like this by the farmers favourite George which is anti the idea.

But, used on a large scale, they are no more sustainable than whale oil...

Some fancy pricey ones here: Replacement Handles For Sale | Woodsmith WWW.WOODSMITH.CO.UK Nice range of sizes in length a thickness .I thought you needed the grain to follow the handle fairly well if you shape against the grain to much makes it weaker. Broken a few new bought handles and noticed the grain alignment was poor like it this pic: If buying one in a hardware store at least you can look at them and a try choose a better one. But the ones in the local store if I recall correctly looked poor i think for the above issues

What is crap about the bought ones? I tried making some but found it tricky to get ash logs to cleave along grain in a straight line often seems to curve or be wavy. I think a tree from a properly managed ash plantation might have straighter grain. Hickory according to wood database is slighly more elastic which seems to be one of the desired wood properties for impact tool handles. Plenty of 36" hickory ones about for £20 each might be better quality than the cheapest ash ones?

Japanese use oak for axe handles but maybe we should be planting some hickory in the UK? 😏 Another tradition species apparently is osage orange for tomahawks

I'd of thought some of that that armoured stuff listed would be going to ukraine now? Nice bucket truck

A few yrs back I think there was some very large auctions that had alot more stuff listed?

Nice good luck.

Looks healthly to me many are half brown on the outside as they dont sprout from the old wood once pruned back

Rackham reckons American oak mildew is now preventing natural oak regen within woodland.

I don't' think power washing was a good suggestion as a chance it would remove the render.

All the worktops in the science block in my old school were mahogany shame they all got ripped out and skipped to be replaced with formica.

Reds ate my hornbeams several ft off each tree. Non ring barked but a dozen look like this. Suprisingly it seems to have had little effect on the trees so far with regards to growth.
