  1. Thank Gimlet some really useful advice. I'll check out the NHLS to find out more. Being solitary must be a criteria for being a hedgelayer as I'm certainly that.
  2. Hi all I hope you are all well. I'm starting out in hedgelaying and just wanted to know the best root to go down. I have a good idea of what I'm doing but would like someone to show me how it's done properly. Thanks

    Jokes???

    What's green and smells of pork?????? Kermit the frogs fingers!!!!!
  4. Raw linseed oil is a good better. But make sure it's not boiled linseed oil!
  5. Could some one direct me to a link for said book please!
  6. Thank you for the advice. Still a little new to milling. I used to either hewing my own or getting it already milled.
  7. Im making some chopping boards and table tops. Not really glamorous stuff at the moment but whatever it takes to pay the Bill's.
  8. I agree! Looks like sycamore milling quite a bit at the moment.

    Depression

    Thank you Big J! It's been a hell of a ride but all seems well now. The hard part is that its a personal thing and what works for one of us doesnt have the same effect on someone else. This forum is a great way for us to open up about problems to people we may consider as being mates.

    Depression

    After the death of my mother 7 years ago I had depression pretty much continuously for 6 years. Worst period in my life. Couldn't/ didn't want to do anything, everyday was like living in an old faded colour photograph life being dull and having no point or reason to live. Getting a good diet and regular exercise be it pulling weights or my favourite walking the dog helps more than you will know. I've been 'free' for year now and still have down days now and then but they are no where near the depths of what I went through. Just hang in there and it will go away.
  13. Hi all! Received an email from Stihl today saying that they had a delay in getting production in place for the MS 881 but are expecting to be told by the first week of November when dealers will be receiving them.
