Default Wood pellets

Have to fix about 150 screws into treated softwood ......using screw &
pellet fixing.
Instead of making the pellets .... decided to buy them.

Found a supplier but as I had used pressure treated tanalized wood ...
didn't want to use untreated pellets .........

No problem send them some off cuts and they make the pellets out of your
wood - and instead as you might think charging extra, they charge less
as you are supplying the wood - so custom serviced is cheaper - that is
rare.

Sent wood to them and had pellets back 3 days later - impressive service.


So if you need wood pellets highly recommend "Appleby Wood turning"

Had a great conversation with owner, they had become a large company ..
making thousands of large tapered pellets every day for beer barrels ...
then in a very short period of time in the earl;y 60's brewers swapped
to Aluminium kegs ... and they lost 90% of their business.
Sold all the lathes and saws for scrap ... except for 2 for niche market.

Glad to see capability not totally lost, once it's gone - it won't come
back.
