Clients want it gone ASAP. The roof is fine, but the 6' wall above is buggered because of the tree. If the wall was sound it would be an easy abseil job. [emoji106]

Will it do 20-25m and boom out with 2 people in? [emoji106]
-
That would probably do the job. Got me thinking now.... [emoji12][emoji106]

Hey Mark, It's a 15 minute job with another 15 minutes to eco plug. It'll take longer to set the mewp up than the actual job. It's the safest, cheapest option. [emoji106]

That's it. Nice one Mick. [emoji106]

Nothing to worry about. Polesaw from top? [emoji848][emoji106]

It's budlea or elder. The stone and brick doesn't look good around it, and the wall above is about 5-6' high. Didn't want to stand on a dodgy 12" ledge leaning down with a pole saw. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Anyone with the right kit fancy this? Please pm for details. [emoji106]

Ask Ty, he's in Brittany. They monolith them, looks really odd. I'm trying to get the trunks for milling. [emoji106]

Very French. In Brittany they strip every branch off a 60' oak ,leaving one tiny branch/twig with one leaf at the top. The hedge rows are full of them. Traditionally it was for faggot making, for bread ovens , on a 3-5 year cycle. [emoji106]

When it was demo ing. It was run with a 20" bar. Info at the time was 462 max 20". 500i max 25".(sept.18). After the release it changed to 462 25". And 500i 30". Which is what a 461 will pull happily. [emoji848][emoji106]

I won't touch tantalised wood. Or mouldy sheds... [emoji51][emoji106]

This garden is about 10m2. It's my mates, took us 2 of us about 2 hours in total. That's including clearance and installing pathway. [emoji106]

I've worked for Ashley a few times. Top bunch. They graft hard. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

It's always been "wrong". But slowly over the hundreds of thousands of years we've been here it's been getting "better". The little things we do everyday have an effect. Fortunately the the masses of good folk do out weigh the bad. I don't believe the world will ever be "sorted out". I see it more as a direction for the whole of humanity as we all have different ideas of what "sorted out" means... But through empathy, understanding and cooperation we can help nudge the behemoth of human society towards a more mature and responsible future. [emoji106]

A spud ported 560 is about the same as a stock 461. On 25" bars. [emoji12][emoji106]

Eucalyptus is used for plywood. Soaked trunks before peeling. It's beautiful coloured, with large variants in tones. I've never milled any, but wouldn't keeping it in a boule with stickers and cargo straps work? [emoji106]
-
That's interesting[emoji106] I have used a 461 for milling with a 30" bar maxed out. No problems. The 661 does go a bit quicker with the 30". Got any videos? [emoji106]

Saw a video of tree felling, Camera at least 2-3 times tree height away. When it hit the deck a piece of branch flew, took out the camera to the surprise of everyone stood next to it. [emoji51]

A lot can depend on air drying to reduce moisture content to around 20%. This stabilises the wood better for kilning. Burred and pippy wood will need a slower drying time due to vastly different densities in the same board. A vacuum kiln will take 20% air dried 2" oak slabs to about 10% in two weeks. Watch out for over heating this causes surface checking and case hardening. Slower is better generally for hardwood. Softwoods and less dense hardwoods like poplar and willow will all air dry quickly and kiln dry faster. [emoji106]
