A lot of stuff slow to come in to full leaf this year, Ash, Lime, Alder, Birch, off the top of my head.

Could still do a lot of damage in a school if so inclined. Osaka school massacre - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Being the BBC they're probably just laying out the land so they can do another article in a few weeks time about it dying due to global warming.

Jeez louise, that was one f**ked up boy. OK fair enough, it was too easy for someone so screwed up to purchase the guns, but there was so much more going on there and absolutely nothing to do with the second amendment. Social media, the gaming industry, the film industry (sounds like he was channelling a bit of Anton Chigurh!), incompetence of government agencies, etc, etc. Truly awful in every way.

That's the problem with being a genius, you're so far ahead of the rest of the world that in your own era you just seem like a nutter!

It was largely predicted (but not largely reported!) in the US that one inevitable consequence of Trump being removed from the Whitehouse, by whatever means, would be soaring energy costs worldwide in the following years. Accurate or what!

A company I deal with in my day job also supply Stens parts wholesale for lawnmowers, chainsaws, brushcutters, etc. Now they're not a dodgy company, far from it, but I'm careful what I order from them as they're well capable of selling, maybe not garbage, but stuff that I wouldn't personally be happy using myself or re-selling myself. Then again I'm a fussy bugger. Anyway, I've wondered a few times what sort of quality the Stens stuff and associated brands is as it would be a pretty handy way for me to get a lot of bits and pieces I need to keep my own stuff running. All experiences, if any, welcome.

Thanks. I know they're all made in China but at least Welsh Shearing have taken the trouble to improve the design when no one else did. Looks like they're the best of the cordless bunch anyway.

Was that your problem?

The clip was modified for the mk2 version, possibly yours was the previous model?

Power is about 180w from memory, corded are typical 300-350. How do they cope with dirty daggy bums, given that that's what we'll be using them for mostly? I'm quizzing you because some on the farming forum say they're the best thing they've spent money on, and then some say they've bined them in less than two years as they were so hopeless. You then wonder is that variable quality as they're made in China, or just how people use/abuse them? Doesn't make it easy deciding.
-
How long have you had them for? Long term durability would be a concern for me.

I know there's a few sheep keepers on here as I've seen them mentioned occasionally on other threads as I've been trawling through. So can anyone give me any recommendations for clippers as an upgrade to my faithful Jakotis? Opinions on the cordless set-ups vary hugely on the farming forums and I'm stuck between giving them a go or just a decent quality corded pair. It'll just be for tidying up or primarily anything struck, the shearers will still be coming in for the big shear in early June so hanging motor and hand piece would be overkill. I'm struggling to come to a decision so any further feedback from anyone on here would be very welcome.

Anything with Michael McIntyre. In fact, just Michael McIntyre.

Novice: top or rear handle 18v Makita for occasional use?

On a saw horse they're ok. Start de-limbing or climbing with it and you'll soon realise why people spend the money on decent hand saws. -

Here you go, Silky Natanoko 60 Pruning Saw - Honey Brothers HONEYBROS.COM Silky Natanoko 60 Pruning Saw from Honey Brothers. The largest equipment specialist in the tree care industry. Other Silky retailers are available. Seriously, this is all you need apart from possibly a decent brush hook as well. Oh, probably should add that as a few others have said, dealing with the sheer volume of stuff on the ground will probably be the biggest part of the job. -
Dare I ask, has it been choked by ivy?

Good thought process and (it would appear) a good outcome. Hope it works out OK for you, and given the Echo reputation for reliability one would trust that it will.

@Treemover Any chance of another update?

Anyone else particularly impressed to see both fighters and their camps behaving with a degree of decorum and respect for the other side for once. Just goes to prove that (a) it can be done, and (b) it doesn't detract one iota from the anticipation of the event. More of the same in future please.

Longest Bar to use everyday on Husvarna xp 550 or equivalent t
coppice cutter replied to cessna's topic in Chainsaws
Also bear in mind that although the 18in may be more useful sometimes, quite often it'll be a pain the ass compared to the 15in.* Ergo, you need another saw! * - All joking aside, there's a serious point here. -

You definitely need another saw, one with the 15in and one with an 18in (your existing saw could be either of these). Another saw is always the answer to any problem. Anyone here who doesn't agree with me 100% on this should be chucked off the forum forthwith.- 19 replies

Indeed, just reading through this thread and I'm shocked by the concept of a stove "wearing out". Our Burley has been in 8 or 9 years now, and apart from the glass being a bit bloomy and a couple of cracks on the vermiculite board at the back (caused by people chucking logs in from like three feet away! 😡), it is genuinely no different from the day it went it. And, it's been our main source of heating every winter since it went in so it's not like it's some sort of evening ornament.
