Very odd. Good for him not having to isolate though. Maybe they thought taking a holiday in Turkey was punishment enough?
-
So Im off the ignore list now, eh? Missing me?
-
Almost kindling sized though.
-
Clearly you've never burried a 48" bar maxed out in a 2-4m long log. A refill of fuel and oil mid-way through is inevitable.
-
Im on the Tequila now so its a distinct possibility.

Sunny the whole day though, Dave. [emoji3] Nice easy through and though milling. They need an arctic load milled soon so I guess not every good deed goes unpunished. [emoji3] Esse is burning great! Very happy with it. 4 controls is a little daunting initially, but it soon becomes obvious and the oven knocks out some good scran. Baked Tatties last night and a perfect Roast tonight. 70c Hot water and a kitchen you can only wear your pants in. [emoji3]

Clearly...

You have an enviously stocked shop Saul. Im blown away by the amount of 'firewood' grade bits in the second pic that clearly must sell. I need to up my game.

Had a sunny days Milling Elm today. Gave a free days Milling to a very nice chap I met though one of my adverts. He provided the bands and fuel, I did the milling. Im a right soft touch when Ive had a few but a deals a deal.
-
He really is a ?
-
Do you get sponsorship Saul? Just curious.
-
Thats how I read it as well, hence the letter from your employer. It seems more geared to folk coming to the UK to work and not folk working in other countries and coming back to live in the UK after doing the job in another location. I managed to avoid quarantine coming back into Aberdeen by showing Boarder Force my work schedule that showed me heading back to Norway within 14 days.

None of those Saws are designed for Milling, they just have the grunt to do so. a 660/661 for upto a 36" Mill and a 880 for upwards of this. First Ive ever heard of Stihl owning Logosol, as far as Im aware its always been owned by the same family since founded in Härnösand, Sweden. Its the same town a friend of mine is from.
-
No, I get that. Just curious thats all. I'll be flying back to work on the 20th so will have the joys of whatever Herr Sturgeon has cooked up a month later. I think your mates got it wrong but if he's right then all the better, its a complete farce anyway.
-
So everyone's exempt apart from folk on holiday? Seems like he got very lucky. When Im passing through Aberdeen Airport they seem to follow the rules a lot more closely. At the time you had to be on actually work duty, have a letter from your employer and also flying back outta the country back to your rotation within the next 14 days. Has he actually passed though customs yet or does he just think he's exempt because he seen his work title on the list?
-
Sounds fair enough to me. Not worth anymore Id say.
-
You said the 500i has not been designed as a Milling Saw. Is any saw designed as a Milling Saw?
-
My in-laws have just started the same thing. Supposedly they'll get just under a grand between them for the years worth of testing. Very odd.
-
Are any?
-
Who gets the stem? Thats gotta be worth £50-100. The branches Id expect dropped off for free.
-
Yes, the pipework will be running slightly up-hill, the upper one at least.(the lower will be at the same angle but running downhill) Its a gravity fed system, hot air/water rises, and cold sinks. So a cycle is created. Its self propelled.
-
It was when the Rayburn was installed, new motors and pumps 12 months ago. But originally the system was gravity fed and I wanted to go back to that. If/when we have a power cut I'll still have a cooker, a warm kitchen and hot water. The young lass will also have a warm room as well as the system needs one radiator to be plumbed in.
-
Bit of progress in the kitchen. Finally got the tiling finished a few days ago and the Esse into position on Wednesday. My Brother-in-law is a heating engineer so plumbed the Esse into the existing Hotwater tank as a temp measure until he installs the new 280l cylinder, (currently running a 100l) Had fun with the first burn of the Esse this afternoon and getting to know the controls, of which there is 4. Loads of heat in the kitchen now, oven heated up a treat and the hot water is scalding hot. So far very happy. Ive installed the extended wood burning box that supposedly once shut down will allow the Esse to burn for 12 hours. Cant see me getting anything like that but Ive only been burning Spruce in it this afternoon. Will have a play with some beech the morn. 7-8 hours would be great though.

More so than length?
-
Mine too. Do I invest or allow the expert to sharpen, set and check over my blades? I realise after a few years the Grindlux will pay for itself, but the wealth of knowledge sending them off to Steve is worth a alot as well. A badly sharpened blade ruins two customers boards, not just one. Unless a £100 bargain pops up I'll keep sending mine ti 'steve.
