Hi Katchin
When I retired, I bought myself a three foot chainsaw and an Alaskan Mill attachment. Being the Secretary of our club I get phonecalls from the public, and several other Woodworking Machinery companies, requesting if we are interested in taking away a tree. I always visit and usually agree to cut it up on site and take it away for them. Tree surgeons charge megabucks for this service, so they are usually only too pleased to get rid of it for nothing. Some do however, request a sum and if it is too high I will refuse the offer and give someone else the chance. Doing this has paid for the chainsaw many times over and has provided me and some of the members with a copius supply of English Hardwoods. And as already said, keep your ears and eyes open. The sound of a chainsaw running in your local vicinity should encourage you to follow the sound and see what, if any is available.
