  1. What exactly can they do? Any legitimate action would be seen as fascist.
  2. Anyone know where to source Cedar saw logs? Im asking my local Timber Merchant but thought I’d ask here too.
  3. Loose filled or neatly stacked? Larch, Douglas, Scots Pine, Spruce or something else?
  4. @manco trying to be a smart arse and instead just ended up an arse.
  5. No. she says she has a garden at the Chelsea Flower Show. That does not mean thats her location. I could be living in Spain and have a display at the Flower Show as well. 🙄
  6. My local Tesco had Coal and Kindling reduced to clear. The Kindling was £4.50 down to 50p and soon went. Then Tesco re-stocked with the very same Kindling a week later. Very odd. I guess its more to do with stock levels than sell by dates?
  7. And I’ll be sure to make you aware that whatever point you’re making is null and void if you do make a mistake. I doubt I’ll need to wait for someone else to highlight it for me though. I may be dyslexic, but I’m not retarded.
  8. As I’m sure you’re aware there’s not one single test for dyslexia but I’ve been reliably informed I do meet the current criteria for what we today consider dyslexia to be. But it’s good to know that any post you make in the future has to be be 100% accurate in its grammar and punctuation or else…
  9. When I seen “Mull” quoting a post of mine I just knew after all these years he’s finally found a grammatical error to fill his head with glee. Enjoy sunshine and forever triple check each post you make.
  10. I assumed so. Not for the want of trying on your part it seems. I could be wrong but it seems like you’ve picked up a new fanboi during your wow is me ramblings.
  11. Oppose away Eggs. Don’t expect the mods to do that for you when you endlessly spill your private life on this forum. If you don’t like opposing views to your lifestyle then how about shutting TFU and keeping what you don’t like hearing an opposing view to private?
  12. I think we mostly agree for the first time ever. 🤣 I disagree it takes balls though. Dropping out of social responsibility is a weakness not a strength.
  13. Thanks for that! I’ll pass the borax solution suggestion over to the log owner. It certainly looks close to mush/rotting but surprisingly still bloody hard. The white was a good give away it was damn close but could not get a fingernail into it.
  14. Without a doubt you want that mill 100-110% percent level. Aim for 120%. 🤣
  15. Had a spare day or so so milled up some Scots Pine and a nice Beech log at my house. Not had the mill here for about a year now. Was gonna just firewood the Beech but glad I saved it (and it’s sister) as it had really nice colours. Again even my iPhone 14 Pro Max struggles to capture the colours and makes it look full of rot. Got a load of 2.5” slabs and a nice 6” butcher block outta it. Quite dark for Beech. Some Purple in there too.
  16. Most of the Birch I’ve milled is pure white. This is a rainbow of colours at the heart. Not mine unfortunately. I swapped the mill time for branch logger time. Easily selling a trailer load for £200 a time plus fuel.
  17. I think I just inadvertently agreed with your diagnosis in my reply to Stubby. But it milled as smooth as butter/oak I think due to its age. Just milled bloody slow and unusually for my Logosol I got wavey cuts and a laboured engine all the time.
  18. Is that right? I’ve milled a few bits but it’s more boring than Beech. I’ve not advertised it right enough. It’s just drying. Talking of Beech. 😁
  19. Really don’t know? We reckon it was 100 years old. Got three nice bits out of the tree. I can be totally done with a band in Spruce but I’ll get another hour or two in Oak with the same band.
