Not quite sure of the previous posts meanings but as I’ve said on a number of occasions the whole pheasant/grouse thing is totally and utterly not my idea of a good days shooting. But if you’ve had any experience of legislative selects removal of personnel property etc and the rabid anti field sports mentality of many groups then the idea that some can be justified and others can’t is misguided. To these people any form of field sport and any form of civilian firearms ownership is totally unacceptable. You only need to watch that MSM Covid guidance disciple Piers Morgan in full flow and you can see what they would like to do regarding firearms ownership.

Hi All Acquired some beams today, the guy said they were Jarrah ?, it’s super heavy and stinks when cut. Sliced a bit off one end to take the pic and the place was reeking afterwards. If it is Jarrah is there anything it’s particularly useful for. cheers

I think you will find the impact modern farming methods make to the ecological balance of the countryside are thousands of times more harmful than the shooting you describe. My point is and your comments confirm what I said is that people whom are not affected by it don’t care. Like I say it’s not my thing, tweeds and expensive shotguns but it won’t be a sensible focused bit of legislation as in all things firearms and shooting control it will instead be a knee jerk pandering to the urban left whom despise the countryside and in many cases have zero idea of the husbandry involved in maintaining it. Unless you are a FAC holder and have been on the receiving end of totally unjustified legislation then it’s difficult to realise how easy it is for governments to just legislate a minority sport out of existence.

SNP attitude to all types of shooting is well known. Given an opportunity they would ban the lot. Whilst I’m no fan of that type of shooting I know as an FAC holder for 25yrs how it’s easy to pick off different disciplines, Hand gun owners were singled out after the tragic events at Dunblane whilst a lot of the shooting associations and governing bodies sat back and did nothing. The same attitude may well be shown to the tweed wearing types with a line of range rovers parked on the moors. Long term it will only go one way and that’s one more shooting discipline ticked off the list.

You mean such as this utter scaremongering

Don’t hold back J ?. Can’t say I disagree with a single part of any of that.

Hi all, Any recommendations on what’s the best treatment to put on a timber serving platter. Options are Oak, Beech or elm at the moment and possibly Maple
-
Yeah it’s turned out to be a handy bit of kit in reality, The day spent splitting saw some bloody nice wood get chopped and split but that was the deal unfortunately. The trunks to come out should give some nice boards. The one in pic in particular.
-
Few bits of Elm left over from a days processing with the rock splitter in return for some nice Elm trunks, didn’t want to turn these two limbs into firewood.

Most suitable Ifor Williams plant trailer ?

I had the 12ft tipper for two years after running a 16ft try axle for years, I used the tip function maybe a dozen times and found the extra weight, lack of bed length and height to be more of a disadvantage than the tipper function made up for. Compromised and went with a 14ft tri axle which is a great in between size, beaver tail option with a full width ramp and a winch would make it a very handy bit of kit. -
Castrol GTX will be more than good enough for a what is a comparatively low revving unit.
-
Night and day difference in my opinion. Winch every time, for me I’ve found I can get a better finish, quicker cut and at the end of the day far less back pain. RH is 100% right when he says practice on rough timber etc to begin with.

Any decent multi grade car/automotive type engine oil will be fine.

What Oil ?? Do you mean for the engine ?, I believe it’s a woodlands you have is it not ?.

Bench top planner thicknesser or surface planner

Metabo model is on sale at FFX at the moment. I’ve a makita 110V thicknesser great bit of kit that’s been worked very hard and never missed a beat. Well worth having but be prepared to have a lot of shavings to clean up if you don’t have extraction set up. -
No I think you’ll find he understood it and replied.

Hi All I’ve always in the past just bought Oregon chain oil in the 25L drums more out of habit than any knowledge as to what’s the best product etc. Just curious if anyone has any advice regarding other makes etc, the rotatech product looks to be a fair bit cheaper.

Hi Mark I put a post up ref resawing elm a few days ago. I was doing pretty much what you are describing as a favour for a mate and to be honest we would have been just as quick to set up the router sled. Firstly it was killing the blades big time and secondly at max width the blade which was a brand new one correctly tensioned was deviating up and down in the cut, not by much but a few mm so enough to need remedial work with the router if you are after a totally flat piece. Admittedly that was only 1 piece of Elm which has been drying for about 4 years but maybe something worth thinking of.
