Got one in our metal bin, boss said yes fine. It's either 28 or 30" husky bar. Can you collect?

Seen a few on eBay years back. Boxed up too. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

The heartwood is normally the best bit.

Need one of these?

I haven't used a mini mill, But my first mill was made with threaded bar and plywood. Worked perfectly. Only draw back was it is slow to change depth of cut. You can make one for about £20. Make it to any size and fit any bar. [emoji106]

Great work, what did that cost?

I didn't realise port talbot had any trees at all. It looks like an industrial film set from bladerunner. [emoji848] Poplar is especially good for a bonfire, gives off a big flame and loads of light. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I've got a stihl pro vacuum, I used it to clean my workshop. Will do most things wet and dry. Lent it to my parents to clean their large woodburner. And they haven't broken it yet. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

My grandmother was in SOE from 41/42 til the end of the war in Europe. My mum contacted MI6 to try to find out more history. Got the usual reply. Unheaded letter. We cannot confirm nor deny.... That was a few years ago, apparently Kew archives have just started to release files from the war.

From experience buying quite a few second hand saws, it's a false economy. Buy a new one. At least you'll know it's going to work reliably.

Keep your eyes open in the obvious places over the next few months. Car boots, eBay, local ads. Often criminals are that stupid.

The stihl moisture meter works by sending a micro voltage charge between the two electrode spikes and measuring the resistance. Great idea but only tests about 1mm-2mm deep. As has been suggested above, to gain a true moisture reading, cut the log in half and test the centre. [emoji106]

How long a cut can you do with the road set up on? Epic looking wood btw. [emoji106]

We had one in the metal bin at work. I'll see if it's still there on Monday. Huddersfield.

Durable fencing timbers? Do they exist anymore..
Rough Hewn replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Landscaping
Quartered split chestnut has less sapwood and 10" top strainers are great. It's all about the seasoning with sweet chestnut. It's got to be fully air dried or it will start to rot as soon as it hits the mud. Fully seasoned strainers last decades and 4" quarters are good for 20+ years before they rot at ground level. Even in heavy clay soil. [emoji106] -
Or biscuits.

I think the guys who told you,didn't understand what they were being taught. Bore cut to relieve tension and reduce barbers chair on leaning tree, Dog cut to release. Can also be used in forestry to avoid a slow fall getting hung up. Don't try this on a vertical tree without wedges.

Amazing photography Silky, As usual. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

??? Ok ten 30" trees, drop and ring. You with a 261, 16" bar Me with 661 36" bar. Who's going home first? [emoji848] I entirely agree about small saws being able to fell large trees, but it takes sooooo long to ring up cutting from both side. I also agree with age, I tend to go for a lighter saw, but big wood needs a big saw with a big bar. Unless it's a hobby. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Pour a few tea spoons of diesel over it. Next day a gentle tap with a small stick. Might work? [emoji106]

100% this. [emoji106]
