    Just like he said. But pump the tires up.
  2. Mr. Ed
    If that’s the worst he can do I’ll take it!

    We’ve got our first volunteer in to help with clearing the brambles from around the tiny trees. Great chap - very nice and very industrious. I’m very glad we’re doing our first go so early - the brambles are just beginning to wake up - for finding the little oaks is difficult. When we do find them we’re marking the location with wooden stakes and clearing around them. The birch and Scots Pine are going better and look like they won’t need much help to stay ahead of the spiny tentacles.

    couldn’t agree more. I’ve spent an interesting ten minutes down an annular rabbit hole. I didn’t find any “when piling goes wrong” vids though like I was hoping to! Thank you.

    Is it in Galway City? I’m in S. Kerry and have a chum who’s interested. If you send me a personal message (there must be some sort of way in this site I assume) I’ll introduce you to each other.

    I associate Colt houses with Essex? They went into ventilation after the prefab culture faded (coming back now of course).
  8. Mr. Ed
    Agreed! We want more!!

    Thanks Mr Rap. I’m a complete muppet really so anything even modestly functional represents a triumph for me. I’m in London for the week and was surprised to see a chainsaw display in the window of a smart hotel.

    Yeah it’s really nice under foot. And it is a great bowl. Some fading since but that’s life. even the really wild looking bits of flooring are sound

    Forgive the crudeness of my work here (she’s different and better) but we love rotten alder - used some for a floor and my missus turned a lovely bowl.

    Mr. Ed replied to peds's topic in Woodcraft Forum

    Where are you Peds? I’m down in Kerry and have a big thinning coming up which will produce lots of reasonable spruce that would plank up well. I did a bedroom in our own alder (over OSB) that came out quite well.
  13. Mr. Ed
    How?
  14. Mr. Ed
    Great video - I especially enjoyed the insouciance with which he reaches for the next one without looking. I’m not seeing the tapering. Or is that the alternating long and short ratchets, so the top advances over the bottom and then vice versa?
  15. Mr. Ed
    OK - I give in. What’s a toe pin?
  16. Mr. Ed
    Why dont you make some yourself and tell us about it. I’ve got a wood shed to make this summer and would love to roof it in something other than zinc …. I’d saw not rive I’m afraid.

    https://www.hortonsgroup.com/log-cabins/cabin-extras-amp-roof-options/roofing-options/cedar-shingles-per-square-metre these chaps in Horsham say they’ll do it for you. A bit of a ghost website but maybe that’s because they’re busy riving.

    Thanks HillBill. Round our parts Briar means Bramble - I should have made clear. In any case they’re so entrenched that we’re not going to be able to eliminate them but do need to stop them swamping the new little fellas. Great work with the thistles … We’ve got our first volunteer arriving next week for a workaway experience trampling and trimming so we’ll either be on the way to resolving this, or will be dead in our beds.

    wonderful. You definitely need to get to sea again! Great models.
  22. Mr. Ed
    That’s an island called Inishmurray in Donegal Bay. Magic place with an old monastery.
  23. Mr. Ed
    We don’t over use them and maintenance isn’t a nightmare. The big boat is a different matter and we’ve neglected it while housebuilding. It’s quite a boat and is wooden but glued and screwed rather than fully traditional so not as big a deal as it might be. Still a big thing.

    thanks. I’ve spent four grand to save three. My sort of economics! And I forget what the metrage is - not least because I’ve run out and have to do some more ! This one is on the mill now )from a neighbour). I have to narrow this end off with a chainsaw - it’s too fat for my wee saw
