    Any idea how many chainsaw injuries per year ? perhaps a profile of injury types and users would be a good start for your thesis perhaps not engaging chain brake whilst moving about between cuts is a factor ??

    I had a hand pump splitter worked but very slow as above get your splitting area sorted ‘table’ with high edges surrounding a knee high chopping block logs 🪵 don’t end up on ground possible use log tongs to pick any that bounce off cut and split logs when green i like my fiskars axe others have their favourite make join up with your neighbours and share cost of an electric or petrol splitter If you enjoy logging buy one yourself and spend a few weekends splitting for your neighbours to recoup cost

    Hi my neighbour has a hazel archway framing a gate thru a wall its got too tall and too wide if we cut the tops off how will it regrow ? will doing that encourage new shootsfrom the base? could we cut tallest stems of at their base and try and untangle them ? probably should just cut it all down tothe ground and shape it as it regrows but a bit wary of that as it will be very bare for two three years also rabbits 🐇 damage to regrowth any tips thanks david

    hi i have a log boiler which in the summer just does hot water its paid for itself now so getting lazy and sometimes just flick on the oil boiler for a bath any one boost their tank in summer with solar ? if so is it solar electric then an imersion type heater or directly heating with solar hot water tubes ? any tips or expereinces welcome its a 2000 litre tank not wanting to spend too much as i would be spending to loose RHI money for an easy life less firewood gathering etc also rather boost the buffer as that would not involve any work in the house thanks david

    Hi i am thinking of going into the shed to cut up logs in the dark and rain so considering the most powerful stihl mains electric saw it says 2.1 kW power consumption does that mean it is equivalent to a 2.1 kW output petrol saw ? if so that would be enough any first hand experience or opinions welcome thanks
