We recently had a tree cut down in our back garden. We?d like to keep the timber as logs for the fire but need someone to cut them down to size. Don?t feel comfortable or confident in handling a chainsaw to rent and do ourselves! And can?t find what to look on google for this service. Please help!

Hopefully it's hardwood ( eg oak) otherwise it's not worth the effort. Then, bear in mind you will have to dry- store the rounds for 18 months to let them dry before splitting into firewood.


That aside, sawing the logs into sections should only be done using a log saw horse. This gives stability and is the only safe way to do the job using a chain saw. I made one myself when we had a big oak tree chopped down. It was made from 4x2" wood and I passed it on through the forum last year. To buy one costs around ?30.


If you get a saw horse organised then I can do the job for you. Meanwhile what is the max diameter of the logs involved?

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.

      Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard!

      DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?

      Seeking an English Lit A Level tutor to focus on Othello

      By Pugwash · Posted

      One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
