Like they system I linked to earlier?

Andrew indeed. 🤣 Only my mum and wife call me that when I’m in trouble. 😁😁😁 I don’t know if hedge laying is even a thing this far north?
-
Are you starting to see what I was referring to earlier?

This is the crux of an end user trying to give what appears to be professional advice. -
Folk ask for them for that reason but look seriously surprised when I expect money for them. 🤣 I tell them that they burn good and will go through my stove.

I’ve gone for 16” spacing. I like the idea of “fire pit” use. Will see how it goes. I can see me using everything I can produce as I’ll have 47kw worth of Stoves in the house by the end of the summer.
-
Ah cool. Any pictures? How much do you sell the 10” cuts for?
-
I’ve bought a used version of this, I think it’s 3.3kw though and it’s 3ph but that’s fine as it’s up at the farm. Chip Extractor, 2,2 kW | LOGOSOL WWW.LOGOSOL.CO.UK <h3>Profit from a good chip set-up</h3><p>You have a lot to gain from having a good chip set-up. Your machines will work more efficiently, and you get a better end result as well as a more pleasant working environment. Another good reason is that both s Yet to use it but from what I’ve seen it will lift the chips from my Log Cabin Log Moulder with ease so should manage sawdust without an eye blink.

No one is fearful. It’s partially the way you’ve gone about asking people and how you personally come across. So based on the above I’ll say Ivy IS and IS NOT a problem.

Slabs, scabs or backs. I find I use all three words interchangeably. I must admit I don’t like to use the word slabs as I sell slabs/boards and it can be a bit confusing when discussing with others when you use the same word for the produce and the waste.
-
Not a bad idea Les.
-
I thought that as well. But there’s only me and the second side is for easy access to collect the cut scabs.

Have we had a 'First go at Milling' thread recently?
trigger_andy replied to TuscanPhil's topic in Milling Forum
There still time to make them into 2x4’s. 😁 Yacht Varnish might be the answer? Ive used it as cladding on my workshop. Well, Larch and Spruce, mostly Larch, will be interesting to see how they both fair. I think the Spruce I’ll be fine in that environment. A local Chainsaw Carver made some Spruce animals for the local council. I believe he told them how durable the wood was. In under 3 years they are quite rotten. -

How do you plan on protecting the Spruce from the elements? Its not exactly known for its durability -
I had a skim through I enjoyed the material, Im sure it will appeal to your intended market Hopefully the final format will not be a PDF as it reads like an Procedure I get at work, or an instruction manual Have you read Norwegian Wood by Lars Mitting? I really liked its format and the way he delivers

Did not know he could 🤣

After having masses of scabs building up at the house I thought I’d best find a solution to handle them better. Found a design on-line that I thought looked good so built it. The idea is you cut all the scabs to the same length and they fall into the space below for easy collection. Will be useful for use when milling as I can just load them right onto it and when it’s full cut them so it’s ready for the next load.

I’ve bought the Eufy system. No subscription, expandable with lots of different options. Good resolution. We’ll worth the money.

Conversion to multi fuel
trigger_andy replied to Cath11's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Big log, blunt chain, depth gauges set for softwood = me yo-yoing like a five dollar hooker -
Chip em and skip em!

Conversion to multi fuel
trigger_andy replied to Cath11's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Very interesting. Not had much to do with it but I’ve a few tons in the yard. Some logs I could mill but I’m fuel hungry right now. These Beech logs would have been crackers milled but needs must 🤣

How to identify finish type on oak furniture
trigger_andy replied to CathyEck's topic in Woodcraft Forum
If it’s “shop” new I doubt it’s been finished in Danish oil. Most likely sprayed in something cheap but durable. Polyurethane is where my money is. Squarely is on the right track, how is the (most likely) laminated bits of oak held together? The elements will most likely decimate your bench. As Squarly mentioned pics are worth a thousand words. There could be solutions. -
Lots and lots of posts on Facebay with seasoned Hardwood at £80-90 a Builders bag round my way. I know a few who sell kiln dried and they’re now over £100 a builders bag (or equivalent)
-
I’ve not tried it yet. 😬 Melted the Piston and it was a job finding an OEM Piston and Pot for it. Finally got one and it’s in getting repaired now along with the Straight Shot. Hopefully get it back soon as I have a couple of jobs lined up for it.

The hydraulics are so simple they don’t really fail. Replacement parts are readily available. You do have to re-charge the oil every 3-5 years though. I’d hate to have to go back to a manual clamp. The hydraulics far more efficient.
