  1. Thats why you have to be a bit creative.
  2. Like I said, my Brother has the Makita 36v, the unit itself was cheap as chips as he already has all the batteries and chargers for his daily job. He was a little skeptical at first but loves it. The fuel and Oil saved will pay for itself within a year, essentially a free saw. Id like the Stihl version, maybe one day but as they say, you cant beat the smell of two stroke in the morning.
  3. I think you made the best choice. Leave the toytown Titans where they belong.
  4. I'll assume anyone in the market will be looking to have the option to plan to the maximum width they can afford as and when they require it.
  5. Ohhhhh, might have a sneaky bid on that Charnwood model. If you're paying by paypal you're fully covered in the event of it not being as described. Id bet you you could collect, drive it home, drop it and smash it and put a claim into paypal and you'd still win the paypal dispute. Im never put off by claims of collect in person only. In fact I prefer it as it puts other people off. Its collect in person only, but theres nothing stopping that person being a courier. Most are happy to strap to a pallet for you as long as you pay for it and a couple of ratchet straps. Also, Im sure you can just go and see it in action. If you or the sellers gonna get their panties in a bunch regarding Covid then get him to wait outside whilst you have a look at it.
  6. I think Id find being attached to a cord all the time incredibly frustrating and limiting. Id also be constantly conscious that Id end up cutting through the cord. I buy mostly DeWalt tools so I have plenty batteries, (just bought a 18v first fix nailer awesome bit of kit) but my brother has mostly Makita so it was a no brainer for him to get a Makita 36v Saw. And its really good for what his needs are. The Stihl Battery Saws are great as well, but its a big investment if you dont already have the batteries and chargers.
  7. I would if I could.
  8. I have a burn pile outside. Anything and everything combustible gets thrown on there. Would not be keen putting that kinda crap up my flue. Chickens get all the kitchen scraps.
  9. Got a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an 8 speed auto. Great for normal driving, great for towing and supposedly great off-road too. I do like my manuals though. Converted my 1971 Valiant Charger from a 3 Speed Auto to a 4 speed manual. A V8 and a LSD really deserves a manual box. Was a £10k conversion but worth it.
  10. Looks great. Looking to build a workshop like this before to long. Are you not worried Spruce will rot out very quickly? Ive got loads of Spruce for a build like this but was warned off of using it for the exterior cladding.
  11. It will get revved to the limiter for the emissions test. If its no been revved hard in the last year its maybe just clearing out all the reek thats built up.
  12. Are your eyes painted on?
  13. Thought you'd done a Kriss there.
  14. It is. Can be bought cheap as chips from the likes of Jula. I had one from there and lasted the Five years I was in the house and as far as I know its still working.

  15. Its not crappy. You cant have every man and his dog wandering around a managed forest helping themselves to whatever they see fit with whatever tools they see fit. Most people who are buying FC for firewood will be buying in Arctic loads, ie over 20 tons at a time. They will not be remotely interested in selling you a few sticks here and there. If you're wanting a few sticks for your own hobby use then try and get in with your local tree surgeons and see if they will sell you their arb waste. There is also a tip site on here, where you can enter your details to receive free or paid for logs.
  16. Maybe, or maybe they would not need his services full time where his employers no longer allowed to hunt foxes.
  17. If you mean the pro's and cons of Fox Hunting I agree with you whole heartily. I am 100% against it. It does not mean I cannot see the local implications of its complete removal.
  18. What point cant be argued?
  19. Soooo, it keeps him in a job?
  20. And does he manage to find the time to carry out this additional burden that clearly happens year in year out within his normal working hours?
  21. Take AJ up on his offer then? Easy enough to post.
  22. Did you check out this page Dave? I find it very handy; Angelim vermelho | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwood) WWW.WOOD-DATABASE.COM Jarrah | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwood) WWW.WOOD-DATABASE.COM Looks like Steve is spot on.
  23. Well, its certainly one opinion.
