They cracked my container open but didn't steal anything. I take all saws etc home every night. Just bars,mills,chains, etc in the container. It my mate who lost the lot. I'm lending him some kit for the time being.

Thieves cut through locks etc, Kept two angry large dogs away, moved vehicle from in front of container, cut open strong box and stole about 30 saws,hedgecutters,blowers climbing kit etc. Huddersfield. The police seem to be taking this quite seriously, are following several leads. Looks like a cordless angle grinder was used.

Oak burr is much better, goes deeper into the wood. Some of the burrs fell off when we were milling the birch. They were almost external to the trunk. Got some really burred birch to do in the next few days, so I'll find out with that. [emoji106]

Finally got the big spalted Ash milled, still maxing out the 30" bar.[emoji106] Then onto a very burred piece of birch. It was disappointing to find the burrs didn't penetrate the wood very deeply. Interesting spalted colours though. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

There was a new/old stock unfueled 090 from a saw shop in n.america on eBay a few years back. Bidding went to about $4500 but didn't reach reserve. [emoji51] You could fly to the Philippines for less...

It will come about, But only if we get organised and cooperate. The various market forces are looking favourable. It's being able to put a proposal forward to offer a level playing field for producers, combined with a viable business plan for manufacturers and media exposure. There's a long list of organisations who would have to be involved in a process like this. It would take years. But what a difference it could make.

I encourage the competition. So much of our native, local hardwood goes to chip. It's wrong. But to change a proportion of the public to understand will be a slow education. If the major manufacturers realise there is a growing demand/market for locally sourced/eco friendly/responsibly sourced wood, they would be interested. With the growing concern over de-forestation and climate change, locally sourced hardwoods will be favoured hopefully. I can see a market for "fair trade" UK timber. A fixed market price like coffee for the producer. You'd need a long list of local sawmillers though. [emoji848]

Eggsy you've missed my point. I agree it's sh*t in London, I've got family who've been stabbed and hacked with machetes. It's an emotive subject. I'm not offering answers. My point is when the magician says look left.... [emoji106]

Go read a history of the British empire from anyone else's point of view. Isis was small potatoes. [emoji51]
