You dont rate the Granberg then?

Same with us outside of Kirriemuir. Looks like you've a few nice sticks to get through.

I have the Stihl Tongs. Very good bite and as others have mentioned hard to imagine not having them. But they are a bit on the small side and logs that I personally find I could happily lift with a bigger set of tongs have to be hand-balled onto the Splitter. I also have a small Stihl Hookeroon. Again, another great product and one I’ve come to use more often than the tongs now. Especially as you can hook and lift bigger logs than with the Stihl Tongs. Both have their place though. I use the Tongs more if the logs are at my feet and the Hookeroon for logs that are in less easy access.

Cheers Rob, The log is somewhat Oval and I think its 5' one direction and 4' the other, so should be ok, as long as we can roll a 5t log. Could I man-handle the next size Mill up on my own?

Thats some insane colouring! Very very nice.

Well thats blatantly not true. Its a terrible analogy. It was Lord Falconer, the Labour shadow Attorney General, not just some politician. And about the only time I believe a word they say is when they have been caught on tape unaware and when speaking with their fellow cronies, its about the only time you'll hear a word of truth out of them as Im sure you're well aware. There is a plethora of countries you could add to that list. Belgium, Norway, Finland, France etc etc The list goes on and on regarding Western Counties that have had vastly varying rules and restrictions in place and generally negligible differences in deaths and contagion cases.

Knew something pedantic was coming.

There you go. He was about 80 years old.

Ah, sneaky buggers.

It was the 64" Bar that I was getting in the kit anyway, so thats handy. But 42" on a 54/56? Thats odd, Im sure with my old Chillaskan I managed 42" with a 48" bar. Whats the max cut width with a 64" bar on a 60" Panther then?

Knobbers like '42 I think?

A 60" Panther wont mill a 48" Log?

Im guessing the more instalments there is the interest reduces dramatically.

how many instalments?

What wood is that? Ive got a freshly wind-blown 4-5' Oak with a 16' stem to mill as soon as I buy a 60" Panther off of you. Do you sell those starter and finish extensions as well? Can see them being very helpful even without a double ended set-up.

No police coming to manhandle and shut down these fishermen selling Shrimp and Crab right off the boat. No masks or a care in sight. How grossly irresponsible and inconsiderate for other people’s grannies. They must be dying in their thousands here. oh wait, they’re not.....

How dare you question Sage and their vested interests with their shares in companies that are making billions off of this pandemic! How dare you question the very same politicians that are caught on camera stating that Covid is the gift that just keeps on giving. How dare you question the draconian laws that are implemented here that when not implemented in other countries their statistics are as good if not better than the UK .

Geeez, I like the regular 'brown oak' but think that rot patch of dark oak is horrific. But you can clearly sell sand to Arabs.

Shame about that dark rot.

Was shopping in Norway yesterday. Still no masks enforced in shops. Seems like Covid is programed to only pick countries that enforce masks and make the virus exponentially more dangerous there...... Either that or the folk who fall for the mask nonsense are as in the link, falling for mass hysteria. Norway is still doing much better than the UK when it comes to handling C-19 yet there is a much less draconian approach from the Government. There is some people choosing to wear masks in public spaces and in the shops and thats fine, thats their personal choice, but there is no hysteria and name calling for those that chose not to, and those who chose not to are the vast majority. And guess what Norway's infection rates are well below that in the UK. Now there's even talk of double masks and indefinite seasonal lock-down to all the mutant strains that will keep coming year in year out and there is so many here who will sagely nod and think that is the correct course of action. Longer coronavirus lockdown ‘will help avoid mutations’ WWW.THETIMES.CO.UK Britain should “take the pain” of longer restrictions to reduce the risk of mutations needing repeated lockdowns... Double masking for COVID-19: Why Fauci recommends wearing two masks at once WWW.CNET.COM Is two really better than one?

Spalted Beech can still be rock solid. Depending on the diameter might be worth seeing if anyone is interested in them for milling?

Thats ingenious! Loved watching that. Really ripps through that log as as well.

Not if I get there first!

Is that a deal sweetener?
