Did someone mention tree-felling and stump grinding?

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

Plenty more where they came from alas. Maybe I ought to buy a logmill.

But we didn't stop there, no Sirree indeedy. Out with the stump grinders

Three large stumps in here

and another four here and there.

But we were on a roll and so next came three large larches. These are the final cuts being made of No 3.

sorry for the shakiness ..no tripod but I tried to steady it against a tree

and here she goes


Cut down to 3m lengths - 35-40cm diameter - ten-twelve from two of them, the third still to be cut into lengths... tricky task as it fell across the stream/micro-ravine.

Trying to find a buyer/portable mill to realise some beer money.

Not bad for a days work.
