robsharpe 1 Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 we were out the other night selecting an ash tree to cut down to make some new pegs for woodgas peg wires ,we felled the tree :ph34r: then cut it down into sections to transfer back to the car 14 bits at 7" ,and some left to pick up ,woodgas made a start on the pegs quartering and the cutting up the quarters to rough shape pegs the shaping them to the right size ,you might say thats a lot of work for something to hold ya snare down ,but as the title says pride in the job will get the finished article picture up when i get down to see him ,its just an insight as to what it takes to make these Quote Link to post

pegandgun 52 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 You got a big sack of pegs Woodga.Approx 350,but they where only 6" long which wasnt long enough for you at the time so Moley got them.Recent talks gives me a sneakey feeling you may be changing your peg size to 6" which is ample length for all but the very softest ground...
