Epic work mate. [emoji106]

Hmmm In France a "cord" is 4m3 of firewood. Except in Brittany where it's 3m3.

I always use 0 degrees. Gives the best finish. Clients always like it too. [emoji106]

Definitely not insecticides. [emoji23]

Just an update, Brother got a call from the gendarmes, come collect your stuff from the station. Nearly everything returned, still waiting to find out about his mate and the windscreen.

Under-planting Chestnut

Size of tree is fine for coppicing mate, hazel is a good understory. [emoji106] -
Stihl ms440 for everything! Or a 661 cos it's got grunt. Having said that my little battery stihl is epic. Starting to have a go at carving with it. [emoji106]

This is the midday sun in Brittany. Sky has been very yellow grey and dark all day. No wind at all.

Had a great day! About a month ago thieves stripped everything they could off my dads old Citroen HY van. Doors, bonnet, windscreen, seats, etc. He was really pissed. But never underestimate the stupidity of criminals... Sunday night my older brother phoned, he found a guy 100 miles away selling our parts. On leboncoin like eBay in France. Just our parts. Sweet. The local police were "too busy"??? So we arranged to "buy" the bits off the guy by email. At his house. Sweet. An hour before the meet, the police are on the phone to my brother. "We are four large angry men and we are going in to get our stuff back". He explained. Suddenly the police had a unit they could send along?????? They parked outside the address in full uniform and marked car. Ten minutes later the guy actually shows up! Walks past the police to get to his house. Nicked!!!! Opens his garage, 90% of our stuff was there. He then rolls over on his mate who's got the rest! Result! Can't condone vigilantism... The old mans happy.

The wood in the background is part of a large,functional, portable cider press, 8'x10'.

My brother found it in a barn. Another mate suggested it's a throwing axe. Bleedin heavy though.

Nasty bee eating bar stewards.

It is!

The metal is nearly an inch thick. [emoji106]

My foot for size comparison

Anyone any idea what this is for? (It won't cut wood, and is really heavy).
-
Petrol saws will be gone in twenty years. Maybe sooner. Electric is the future. Unless it all goes tits up, then it's back to axes. [emoji12]

I'm in Brittany, probably a bit far. But if you're really in need I'd consider it.
-
Bring back the village stocks. A week of it. Per tool.
-
Is it a five year old cut off saw with a bar and chain?
-
What size trees and wood do you want to cut?

How about the central boards for outdoor tables? Nice 6'-12' refectory tables? You should get better money than cladding.
