Eggs and Mark J are more slippery than a Eel. Y/N answers are not for them.

Firewood wanted arb waste accepted! Cheshire/Staffs border
trigger_andy replied to BigRon's topic in Firewood forum
I was out processing a tree surgeons logs last Saturday. We filled 16 IBC’s with logs he’d ordinarily have tipped. Everyone is watching the pennies now. -
Firewood wanted arb waste accepted! Cheshire/Staffs border
trigger_andy replied to BigRon's topic in Firewood forum
So many folk wanting free logs these days. I completely understand that but with everyone feeling the pinch a commodity that’s now at about £90 a builders bag for hardwood will increasingly be processed and sold by the guys felling the trees. Saying that I’ve had near on 30t of hardwood dropped at my yard by a tree surgeon I know simply because he’s so busy and his yard is already over flowing. 🤣 -
The daylight difference between York and Edinburgh is about 25 minutes on the Winter Solstice.

Shetland is a barren wasteland full of smack heads.

She better not see thirst read or I’ll be in trouble. At no point did I say she needs to get on a treadmill to lose lock-down weight [emoji51][emoji16]

Might need to upgrade my log delivery system. I was thinking a treadmill directly into the stove itself. 😁

Bit of progress today. Was just roughed out yesterday so spend the day with the woodrasp cleaning and squaring all the cuts up. Bit of detailing with the Die Grinder and tootsie roll sanding cones. Ended up on my 3rd cross bar till I was happy with the design.

Well I’ve just bought a used 26k Boiler Stove and a 300 litre Thermal Store system. He’s getting a Heat Pump system with RHI payments instead. I better get cracking with the Firewood as I’ll have 47kw worth of Stoves in the house by the end of the Summer.

That’s unfortunately the truth of the matter

Did you buy the kits you can do yourself or get a company in?

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.
