    I only do that if I’m dealing with rounds that can’t easily be lifted up when splitting in the horizontal. Vertical is slooooooow. A 4/6 way head, a Hookeroon and a set of lifting tongs will transform your splitting day and produce far more bags of logs. (From my own experience anyway)

    Sounds like you’ve got yourself a tool shopping list. [emoji16]

    It might not be though. A trick to try is seeing if a Torx head fits. It should give you enough purchase till you get some imperial keys.

    Imperial? 5/32" maybe? Could be 3/16" but if its big for 5mm Id say 5/32".

    Would he make one for the 084 in the future?

    1/10th? Those are rookie numbers! You gotta pump those numbers up.

    Corbyn as well. Easiest way to spoil a vote. 🤣

    Yeh, always the case. Some Oak I milled last time home. Similar colouring.

    I’d have thought that being Starmers man you’d be used to it by now....

    In one of the vids the guy demonstrated the dryness of sub 18% and over 25% (I believe) all from blowing bubbles, not sure how accurate that but if its correct to any degree is seems far quicker than setting up a wee camp fire whenever you wanna check it out.

    Cracking logs them! Almost Oak in colour.

    I think the operation will be different. But here’s a couple of pics. Maybe it will help? I was initially sent a silent video of how to disable the two handed operation from the lads at Rock, but they clearly never tested it as it would never work. Only extended the ram. So I had to rebuild it. In the end it was simply a case of removing the bolt in the picture to allow the handle full travel. The only down side is I have to keep the second long handle in place for it to operate. But it’s on the other side of the splitter so does not really get in the way.

    What model or Rock Splitter do you have? I converted my Venom 22t ES easily, but it’s a different mechanism than the standard Venom. The thing is the Spool is designed for single handed operation and converted to two handed. So it’s really a case of reverse engineering what’s been put in place.

    Maybe a 50cc Saw doubles the youtube revenue?

    Try Birch.

    Seems a shame to split it all for firewood. If there is any good diameter stuff its worth considering having some of it milled into slabs. Ash is quite a beautiful timber, much under rated I think.

    Got a couple somewhere. I added them to my collection of land on the Moon, about as likely I own either. 🤣

    Bought a mate a bottle of Ron Zacapa XO Rum a while back. Was gutted to see him instantly top it off with Coke.

    Something very similar. Every so often we head up to Glas Allt Shiel Bothy for a night or two. Its bliss. Took the missus and my 17 year old for a couple of nights as well.

    My Brother and I will be necking this soon.

    Nice selection. I like a Laphroaig when sitting around a camp fire or on a Bothy night with friends (yes I still have a few ) The 12 year old Highland Park is often on Special at Tesco and I always buy a bottle when it is.

    I like my women like I like my Whiskey. 18 years old and mixed up with Coke.
  24. trigger_andy
    The 18 year old Highland Park is most likely my favourite whiskey I’ve ever tried, certainly the best 18 year old. It’s like a richer younger Highland Park offering much like a Slightly Smokey Christmas Pudding in its complexity. For a tough over £100 it’s a damn good buy and hits way above its weight. Although a surprisingly good “cheap” whiskey not often found in the shelves and was actually discontinued for years is the 15 year old Jonnie Walker Green Label. Yes it’s a blend, but when you’re blending in 15 year old Caol Ila and Talisker from the Islands and a couple from Speyside it has something for everyone. Well worth a try at under £40, I much prefer it to the Blue Label. Im yet to try this 15 year old Highland Park. It’s now valued at £600, so might be a while before there is an excuse to break it out. 🤣

    Chainsaw and a Log Splitter.
