Yes, most likely correct. Still, I'll try one out so I know myself and see whats what. Id be curious to see how deep creosote can penetrate.

Was thinking diesel inside the water tank

My plan was to cut to a depth the creosote did not penetrate and just have fresh timber. I think I'll try one anyway, just for sheets and giggles. Even if I killed a band per Sleeper it would be worth it I think. £22 for a 2.4m Sleeper. If I get clean wood in a 'Mantle' size Id cut the Sleeper in two and sell them for £150-£200 each. If I factor in a band either completely knackered (£35) or a sharpen (£10) then Id still be quids in. Just musing the now.

Thats a very good point.

They are literally old railway sleepers that have been dry stored. I seem to have a very high demand for Mantles just now. But I need them somewhat dry, especially for the Stove Shop that I'll be supplying. Luckily Ive (hopefully) scored some Oak Beams (4.8m x 8" x 4" ) from an old warehouse that I can cut to size and hopefully make nice dry mantles from. But once they are gone I'll be a few years away from being able to supply seasoned mantles. So Im looking at alternatives. I thought the Sleepers would be a long shot so I think I'll just forget that idea. Thanks guys.

Anyone attempted to re-saw old oak sleepers that have been creosoted? They are 10” x 4-5”. If I could get a 8” x 3-4” beam out of them I’d be happy.

Ok. If you say so.
-
Shame they where left so late.

That’s firewood quality?

You’re creating a Strawman Argument, simple as that. To claim those who are vehemently against a sport that gets its kicks from ripping an animal to pieces are only doing so out of jealousy or because in your opinion they are not in a position to join in is about as asinine as it gets. You’re exposing your own ignorance and your posts insult everyone who has the misfortune to read them.

Yet more mealy nonsense from yourself.

got a link?

I sell sheet loads of 'Mantles' through Facebook market place. Got two going out today in fact. Give away prices since he's taking two. £125 each for 1.2m x 150mm x 100mm. I started a small FB page for the Milling, lots of enquiries through that too.

Help the Farming community by providing them employment in carrying out the servitudal roles needed by the Gentry so the farmers can continue to put food on their plates.

Ah ok. Too far to make economical I think.

Where are you based? Ive taken down a few Cherry Trees in my garden lately and the latest Storm has taken down a few more.

I'll ask him when he comes out tonight. Lovely Dogs. I really want one as well. But with two Samoyeds already Id like a Family Friendly Guard Dog and from what my work mates says his Elghunds are no better than my Sammies at deterring Pikies. They have a good bark on them but will just lick any intruder to death before defending the property. I'll look into the Jämthund. How much for a pup?
-
I’ve Norwegian work mates who hunt Elg and use Elghunds. As far as I can tell the Hounds don’t bring down the Elk and rip it to pieces although I believe that has not always been the case. I’ll get an update off of him this afternoon at shift change. Funnily enough we’ve been watching a Norwegian Hunting series these last few days.

You cant pass up a golden opportunity like that.

Having done work in the Middle East and the Sahara I can testify as to how frustrating it is to wear full PPE including Hardhat, Full length Cover-all, Steel Toe Boots and Gloves in near on 40-50c. Perhaps worse though is around the equator and the humidity 24 hours a day.
-
Well thats cleared that up then.

Matt says his missus is from a council estate. Kev mentions it. Matt wants to punch his teeth down his throat. 🤷♂️

Certainly not openly. You cant just set up a Cock and Dog fight night, bring the Cocks and Dogs then pretend that they're not going to actually fight and when they do its just a woopsie, never meant to happen. Wise up.

Im curious if its when you go over 10,000 posts you're allowed to abuse people and use the language you're using with impunity? Whenever I do I get slapped with a 7 day ban. I only ask as Im now at 8000 posts so not long until I enjoy the same level of double standards you seem to enjoy.
