Was getting a bit tired of my daughter putting her cups on the fireguard so made her a wee side table for her instead. Still a work in progress.

I chuck the off-cuts in the stove with Larch. But then we’re talking 4” square max. Currently building my daughter a coffee cup side table as she keeps putting them on the fireguard 😡 so lots of wee off-cuts getting throw in. But you’re right, folk just don’t appreciate the time needed to season oak and often don’t have the space either.

Even then I don’t get excited about it. It’s just as smouldering lump in the way of refuelling. 🤣

Who lets knives rust in the kitchen? Simply does not happen.

I don’t agree with is thinking at all. 1, Lose beautiful (eye of the beholder) old buildings that have been build with craftsmanship that simply can’t or won’t be replaced to build some boring rabbit hutch? No thanks. 2, Id put money on 50% of that 200t could not be used in construction. I’d say it could be as much as 90%. You are/where a miller. You know the recoverable amount of timber per log is fairly low. That’s out of sawlogs. I doubt you burned 200t of sawlogs either. What I envision you burned was a far lower grade and only suitable for firewood. With wood being close to as carbon neutral as you can get regardless how much you burned it was still “good for the environment”.

Folk love the sound of Oak til it comes time to burn it…..

Price is in the first post. £350. I think it does the rippers ok. Could maybe do with some fine tuning. I just can’t be arsed doing them myself. I much prefer sending them off.

Anyone interested in a Grindlux Band Sharpener before I ebay it? Older model with many new parts including the stand and band support arms. Cam has been ground for the Ripper 37’s and replacement cams are readily available from Logosol or Woodlandmills. £350

I assume because they will be better quality. I guess you can’t sell a chain for half the price and expect them to be 100% as good. There will be limitations but if your usage is within those limitations then why pay double? For the record I’m leaning quite hard on the processor chains when they are starting to get dull. It’s a fair old swing arm on them and you’re really forcing the chain through the logs harder than (I think) you’d accomplish with a saw.

No need to wank when I’ve got your panties down Eggs. Ok, I really must go. 🤣

The evidence is your last few posts. It’s easy for anyone to read back and make their own minds up. You getting all butt-hurts not gonna change that nor will reposting it all again. You can pull your pants up now. I’m off out to collect some Ash Saw Logs.

Eggs, I’m not going to regurgitate our current conversation just because you’ve been caught with your pants down.

Everything is concisely contained within a few posts. There is simply no need to do so. I’d be quicker just screen shoting the last 30 minutes and reposting it.

No need, you managed that within 5 replies. It’s plain to see for all.

It’s Starmer incarnate.

You’re backtracking Eggs. I don’t blame you, you farked up with that city comment earlier and you’re trying your best to recover. Bless.

Eggs, you just said it’s different in the cities. The implication of that statement is it’s the opposite of what you state. Yet 82% of the population is urbanised. This highlights the flaw in the weight you put on your non-city living empirical viewpoint. To such an extent that you yourself state it’s different in the cities, where the vast majority live. You’re tying yourself up in knots here.

You don’t personally need to know nor meet any spongers. It matters not the circles you or I move in. Interesting comment you made when you state “in the city it’s a different story” considering in England 82% of the population is urbanised.

It was another processor user on here who suggested them. I bought two for my old 034 to cut dirty timber. Again blown away by the quality for the price. I’m only 5 chains in so I guess it’s a bit premature to sing their praises but if they keep holding up like this I’ll be a regular customer.

Nothing better than the NHS? 🤣

Really odd as I’ve not had any of these issues with the 5 chains I’ve used so far. At about £8 for a 5 litre Jerry Can of premium unleaded that lasts maybe 3 hours on my processor I find £8 (delivered) for a 13” chain that lasts 2 days minimum in clean timber a bargain even if I just trash it after. I processed 16 IBC’s yesterday with a single chain. That’s near on £3000 in hardwood on a chain thats still going strong and only needed 1 tighten.

See? I knew you knew. Nothing to do with beating up the working class, which since I work I’m apart of. I wholeheartedly agree with not beating them up considering it’s me getting hammered here in Scotland. But then we’ve come full circle back to the lazy and the feckless. Buying their votes is expensive, but since they make up an increasing majority all the parties need to now do so. The SNP are a case in point. So, back to Labours parting letter, to have spunked all the cash to whom where they hammering and where did the money go? Im in favour of a far fairer society where people are held accountable for their actions but also their inactions. The amount of lazy and feckless in the UK is unsustainable and it’s the working to middle class who have to fund their lifestyles. I say fark that. We need to end buying votes with more and more freebies for the workshy and scum of the UK. The tails wagging the dog.

Not that long ago in the grand scheme of things. Coffers need refilling. The Tories have blown monumental amounts of money on Covid but whatever they blew it was never enough for the SNP, Labour or the Lib Dumbs. So considering the above letter in times that did not include Covid or Brexit and the opposition screaming hysterically for more restrictions (which cost eye wateringly) and more funds for Covid I think it’s fairly safe to say we’re better with the devil we know and we’d be taxed far more under another party. You know, like the SNP are doing up in Scotland. I wish I paid the tax you guys do down in Englandshire.

Should they have to hedge though? All we’re really seeing now is us having to pay back the artificially capped rates by the companies that did hedge. No such thing as a free lunch.
