A safe way to split logs

Safe and easy log splitting with old scrap tyres

Capel Manor College

Yesterday about 15 students from Capel Manor College in North London came with a mini bus and trailer and loaded 3 tons of large tree trunks for the college to use in its courses.  I was a little nervous about the process but it all went without a hitch (except that I forgot to take any pictures of the process).  Its worth noting that the group was a mixed one but that a female student was the most active in moving the heavy (300lb to 400 lb) logs - to the shame of the watching boys!  The log callipers were very useful in picking up the logs.

Open Afternoon in Glebe Wood

We are having an open afternoon in Glebe Wood in Tendring Essex on Sunday 2nd May.  We will offer tea and scones and conversation about such topics as CSA schemes (link) for selling logs from our wood.  If you are interested in coming on Sunday email me on chris@ecodiy.org
