Kiln dried logs and a globally warmer climate
trigger_andy replied to neiln's topic in Firewood forum
Get a cheap moisture meter regardless. How dry your logs will be will be determined by numerous factors including: How dry they are kept. Airflow. How small they have been split. You might get lucky and have them under 20%mc if you have a little stove and have cut the logs to 9"-10" in length and 3-4" chunks. I still think 2 years seasoning on such dense hardwood is best though. -
Do Not send your lads out Monday and Tuesday.

Interesting how you consider people with darker skin savages. -
I think you'll maybe be pushing the limits with a 42" Lo Pro but others might have more first hand knowledge. Am I right in thinking the 572 and Stihl 660 have around the same HP. I dont think I would wanna run a 42" bar on a 660 and thats a 90cc Saw.

Stunning and beautiful work.

A 36" Chilaskan would do the job and your wee saw should manage with a Low Pro bar.

A 48" Chinese built 'Alaskan' is/was about £120 last time I looked. Hardly worth the time to fab one up in my opinion. You can also buy a 36" Chinese Alaskan (Chilaskan) for about the same and save on cost by not needing as big a bar and chain. With the 36" Alaskan and a Low Pro Bar and chain you'll just/kinda get away with your little saw. At the end of the day you're gonna be ball deep into £500 before you get started.

Then wash them?

I like old muscle cars. Often buy them at a bargain price and flog them on when Im bored. Bought a '69 Barracuda for a bag of sand and flipped it for £3k a year later. Last owner could not find the vin to get the V5. Was stamped in various body panels. Bought an Aussie Charger for £5k and sold it to a guy in NZ for £15k three years later. Its currently getting a full resto. On the look out for a '70's Dodge Pick-up. Found a cool M880 a mate used to own, currently in haggle mode with the seller.

Sorry, I was referring to the lass thats bought the old stove and has the interesting install plans.

Nobody is saying that at all. The discussion is more along the lines of if old used non-ecodesign Stove can/will be be installed and signed off by a qualified technician. I'll be installing an older Stove in my house but then Im in Scotland and not subject to the same red tape. Exactly, Ive been saying this for a few pages now. Op seems very cagey regarding this though. I think that could have been me? I installed a brand new Ecoburn 11 plus myself and was not worried about the warranty because as you say the likelihood of a claim is very low and I was willing to take the hit if it cracks. Of course if its a Boiler Stove you have a far higher chance of something going wrong and having one of them professionally installed makes far more financial and safety sense.
-
And the Council has given you written permission for all this have they?
-
Thats the point though, I cant see you getting a professional to install it or sign off on a used Stove that is potentially sixteen years old. In their eyes it will be considered a knackered old Stove regardless if you take the hump over that description or not. Up here in Scotland the rules are a little different and you can install yourself without a HETAS Engineer signing it off. You'll not be covered for any warranty claims if the Stove is new (like I did) And I think its a bit of a grey area if you'll be covered by your insurance if it causes a fire.
-
You're also in Scotland, different rules.
-
And all the other points or is it something you'd rather just ignore?
-
1, Have you asked permission to instal a Stove in your Council House? Might be worth looking into. 2, If you’re in England you’ll need to get it professionally installed and signed off 1, to satisfy the Council and that’s if the Council even allow you to install one in the first place and 2, to keep you legal with your Home insurance. You do have home insurance right? 3, I’m not sure you’re going to get any installer to sign off on a knackered old stove that does not meet current regs. As you say you want to be safe and bodging this yourself will not come under most peoples definition of safe.

fresh beech required 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square

You can PM me what the price is per cubic foot and I can see if I can see if it’s worthwhile. Andy -
fresh beech required 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square
trigger_andy replied to se7enthdevil's topic in General chat
Did we ever chat about this? I have access to Beech and can cut to order. Either 4’ or 9. -
It’s worth whatever you’d get for firewood. If you got £50 for the lot you’d be doing well.

Cutting Lap siding boards on a Bandsaw
trigger_andy replied to trigger_andy's topic in Milling Forum
Thanks for the reply. That is some cracking work, love it. Do you have any more pictures of the build? -
Anyone built or bought a jig for their Bandsaw for cutting Lap Siding? I have a customer looking to cut her Cedar into Shingles and I thought potentially cutting Lap Siding into short lengths might do the job if I can cut Lap Siding at all. Woodland Mills have a system for cutting Lap Siding. Lap Siding Attachment WOODLANDMILLS.COM Norwood has a jig for Lapsiding and cutting proper Shingles. https://www.norwoodsawmills.com/lap-siding-shingle-making-package-set-of-2-jigs Unfortunately Logosol seems to have nothing on the market as yet.

Damn! Would you look at that! Cheers! I bet there’s gonna be loads of people secretly doing that now. 😁

Eh?

Yeh, it very much depends on what you're wanting out of a Forum. If you want to browse, comment and post pics in threads the App was perfect. Not a fan of having to go to a web browser and go to the forum on my phone at all. Its generally the older generation that like to use websites I find.
