  1. Spalted Beech can still be rock solid. Depending on the diameter might be worth seeing if anyone is interested in them for milling?
  2. Thats ingenious! Loved watching that. Really ripps through that log as as well.
  3. Not if I get there first!
  4. Is that a deal sweetener?
  5. linkey no worky
  6. Its human error as you clearly seen they where not Nylock and should have tightened them enough or had the forethought to use a thread locker yourself. You're not building a lego-set here.
  7. The seller just contacted me, said he still has all 200 tons for sale. See if this link works. https://www.facebook.com/groups/woodalertuk/permalink/2946392328940234/?sale_post_id=2946392328940234&referralSurface=messenger_lightspeed_banner&referralCode=messenger_banner
  8. Are you really that surprised? We've watched the whole of the UK bend-over and take whatever we're told by politician during this whole debacle. Today we learned that they are rubbing their hands in glee that we are with the city traders as their making untold millions off of this pandemic. To think that the very same people would stand up to ill treatment from the police is a bit of a stretch, no?
  9. Oh right, had not noticed.
  10. What? No 10 meter long Burr Ash slabs kicking about Saul?
  11. I have yet to see a Bobby on the street. Ive seen one car in Forfar the whole last month off and they did not seem to have a care in the world. Almost all shops open and folk just going about their business, albeit with masks on when in store. If I seen a Horse Box Coffee Stall Id deffo stop by and support them. The Government certainly is not. Labours Shadow Attorney General let slip the real reason we're all still in lock-down yesterday. He called Covid ''a gift that keeps on giving to a bunch of City Lawyers as its making them all vast amounts of money. But of course now he regret's that choose of words. How people are still blind to whats going on is beyond me.
  12. I think he realiesed you're full of it as well.
  13. And you genuinely offered him £750 for log he made £330 off of? Just seems strange when you did not know what you offered him in tons earlier and claimed to see how many bags of logs he'd get out of the log and offered him more. Now Im not great at maths but even I know that £750 is more than double of £330, its not just a bit extra is it? You're all over the place on this one Boyo. Something certainly has affected you.
  14. Your figures are certainly confusing. You can fill 2-3 1ton dumpy bags with 1 ton of wood, loose stacked of course. So when you mention the figures of three bags and you offering £250 a ton for the same log then its fairly safe to assume that the £250 a ton and filling three bags with the same log all tie in to mean a 1 ton log. There is simply no way a neatly stacked 1 ton bag will hold 1 ton of Oak when Oak is about 720kg m3. Thats a perfect 1m cube, no air gaps. Generally you're around 350kg a Dumpy bag. If anyone is needing Blessed its you Boy, for it seems like you're telling a few porkies here. Maybe you need to head down to Confession, it is Sunday after all.
  15. I did suggest it might be his side business above. If he's getting £330 out of that log and you offered £250 then its less than pennies above. Why on earth would he sell it to you for that when he can maximize his profits? Yes he has to do the processing but it can take as little as an hour to split and fill three bags of logs. Ring them up I say. Money is money.
  16. But I was replying to Boy? He's just teasing you.
  17. Alexander Grinewitsch on LinkedIn: #DontPanicItsNotAPandemic #Sunshine #Winter | 20 comments WWW.LINKEDIN.COM Oslo area, Saturday 6th of February 2021: Another day in paradise (or also called Norway)! All these fools, Corona... This Chinese virus has clearly been very well engineered.
  18. Does not sound remotely like a 'very good price' to me. Id ring them up as well if thats how you play it. You need to make it properly worth his while. What does Oak Saw Logs sell your way per ton? £120, £150? £200 a ton? Figure that out and come to a realistic deal with him, not try and bottom dollar him on it. If you're offering pennies above what he'd get as firewood and firewood is a business for him why would/should he flog you his source or partial source of income? Logs are flying off the shelves just now and perhaps he has to keep his customer base happy and supplied or he'll lose them?
  19. How much a ton then?
  20. Geeez, he clearly has a sadistic streak. Define very good though. Ive seen what wood turners call 'very good price'.
  21. Boys logs?
  22. You'd have to offer him more than he'd get for firewood, otherwise its just not worth it to him.
  23. If you’re sharpening long chains, ie 36” bars or longer I really like the Granberg pro-sharpener. 12v, takers the rakers down as well. For chains under that length unless really damaged I just use a hand file.
  24. Good man! Yeh, the trunks getting rung up must sting.
  25. Ohoh, you're only gone and done it now.
