I live in Scotland, have a small woods and people have the right to roam through it, however they only have the right to roam if they cause no damage, leave no rubbish, and take nowt except photos, if they don’t obey these rules then have have no right to roam. I have signs up saying Private Land, Forestry Operations in Progress, Enter at your own risk. I do have kids coming into the woods, they used to have fires and leave a ton of rubbish, caught them once and bollocked sorry educated them, told them basically that I don’t mind them coming into the woods and having a small controlled fire, but don’t cut down green trees unless it’s rhoddy and take your crap away. On the whole it has worked. I can see where they have had their fire but most of their rubbish is removed.

Cable tie has not been trimmed neatly.? Wheel has been kerbed in its life.?

The in feed on my Wadkin planer thicknesser wouldn’t work, stripped it and found it was all gummed up with what I guess is pine sap, applied liberal amounts of a diesel petrol mix as that is what I had, seemed to clean it up and it freed off.

I use Sweeney Kincaid quite a lot. Remember to budget roughly an additional 30% onto your bid price to cover auction fees and tax.

Champion, nice work.

I have a water trap and an oiler on mine, they are two separate bottles. I have them on a board just beside the compressor. i put the compressor in a carpet lined mdf cupboard as the running noise use to annoy me. My airline then plugs into the oiler. There shouldn’t be much in the way of oil pass over from the compressor but there is certainly water in the air. Hence the need for a water trap then oiler.

This is the one I made out of an old sleeper and some old assorted fence posts, use it all the time works well

Looking good, presume the pencil wave lines in 2nd pic .are to show where the sander has hit? i always think sycamore is a very clean looking wood, good to see something creative getting done with it, as it makes a great log burner wood.

Superb, some good engineering going on there.
-
Nice one, what converter did you end up getting.
-
Looks great, I prefer them when they retain the fresh cut colour, same with larch clad houses I prefer them new looking. Your table doesn’t look like it will be tipped over accidentally, I like the substantial look of it.

Well if you need some practice just to get back up to speed on it I am going to have a late season bash this year instead of my usual spring bash?

10 foot tall rhody

Every year except for this the Covid year I get the lads together for a rhody bash weekend, I have a big rhody problem (SW Scotland) and I can’t get machinery in, so I am on the Chainsaw, two or three others are clearing behind me and one stacking. Tis a hard 3 or 4 days and wouldn’t want to do it every week. Same weekend I GP the fresh cuts and previous years regrowth. I then let the cuttings dry to about August then spend a day burning them. i have posted pics on here before I will see if I can find them.

Ooooh a metal turning lathe, I did metal turning as part of my apprenticeship 40 years ago, never touched a lathe again until about 10 years ago when I bought an old Colchester master dated from the mid 60’s, needed a bit of a clean and a 3 phase converter fitted to it, but it is going well.

Floor at new location was uneven.? Fab looking table

Using a chainsaw in a public place
roys replied to NorfolknGood's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
@Khriss I don’t get it, why did your mate get that fine figure of a man in to do the cutting for £400 when you would have done it as a favour? Not saying you haven’t got a fine figure Khriss. -
Lots of good offers on here, don’t waste your time with the painted wood, help take the shed down and get it disposed of at the local tip. I would not put painted wood in my stove it is not good for the stove, chimney and your health. Well done on being keen to learn, that goes a long way, as we don’t tend to see it thar often. I received an axe recently as a Thankyou, (posted about it on here) I gave the the bloke a coin as per custom to show no ill will, is that just a local / old custom or do other people still so it when they receive a knife or axe as pressie?

And as converters go 25kVA is a beast, not that common and if you do find one I bet it will be pricey. Plus that is roughly 100A which is BIG for a single phase supply. This has got a 30 kVA genny required written all over it and they are fairly common.
-
Remind us Mark, was it a 10kW unit you were after?
-
Good answer @Nopedigree, Think that one has been tampered with.?
-
Think that is a top gesture

Spit hoods on either driver, passengers or both.?

Is that some bee hive frames under bench?
