  1. I’m thinking of getting a much bigger grinder Stu. 55/65 hp. Would you sub out stuff to me, if you put a few together? Just musing atm.
  2. I had a long look at a TP, I agree, looks like quality.
  3. This was a good thread, worth a read if only to give people an understanding of the economics of firewood retail.
  4. Have you replaced the anvils? And could you arrange export?
  5. Or a Schliesing 495. Then at least you can get metric nuts etc.
  6. They caught my eye over the years. Guy on here was selling 2 a while back, one working and one as spares. I think they are rather dated in terms of weight/power/capacity. Buy cheap, buy twice as they say.
  7. There’s the problem! We all do, but when they’re gone they’re gone like the Great Auk.
  8. Maybe cut down on the question marks to save the planet? They won’t last forever. What will our children say when there’s none left?
  9. If they’re really small, lift them out with a spade and put them back afterwards, or get them to. I do it a lot.
  10. I’m sure there was some complicated accounting to explain that. Impressive figures for a company in our line of work. Probably as a result of a lifetime of hard work, knowledge and risk taking.
  11. How would that be worse? He’d probably get his done quicker.
  12. I’m not offering solutions, just stating the obvious.
  13. We are multiplying like an out of control virus on the planet, over 7 billion, more than double the number than when I was born in 1963. Deforestation, burning oil and coal etc. Nothing to do with us though. All a conspiracy to tax us more etc.
  14. Are you the guy who believes in astrology? I get confused.
  15. Nothing to do with the original post. Behold! A Schliesing throttle cable €123.00 if you don’t mind!
  16. The very last thing you want to do is persuade the client to get a glorified spoon whittler in their garden, making noise and mess over a couple of days, creating planks they’ll never use whilst boring the tits off YOUR client going on about graining and spalting and showing them pictures of their kids.
