Awake and thinking of what jobs to do! Tom's birthday today so offered to take him out but he would rather stop in and have sosige and mash, but may go to pub for a couple with him. Hope tyres for Focus get here to get the MOT finalised too. Glossing stair bits maybe too? Machinery show at Newark? Hmmm. Tay, Lam, Maid.

Interesting statement from Harris when she was running for POTUS. Maddow, who is openly gay herself, appeared pained by Harris’s statement that Buttigieg ‘would have been an ideal partner – if I were a straight white man.’ The tolerant left are homophobic?

Great recap Andrew. Yes, you've gotta work with the tools you've got. Yes, been away for a while. Lost interest in all the bitching. I'll try to stick to the milling forums more. I've often done what you suggest, noodle the 30" logs down to a rough cant to get on my wee Logosol. Square it, then slab it. The center 6 slabs will be a mix of rift and quater sawn and if you wanted just 10" wide slabs just turn these 6 slabs upright on the bandsaw and cut in half. Id prefer keeping them 20", can always cut in half later if needed. My hope is to have saved enough by the end of the year to afford a Logosol B1001. That should get me an 800mm cant. Where abouts in Scotland are you?

The latest news regarding Tom Homan is amusing and depressing in equal measure. He was caught in an FBI sting taking $50,000 in cash in return for promises of immigration related contracts. Caught on film. Dead to rights. The Trump Regime response? "No he didn't - this is another example of the weaponisation of the Biden Justice Department". Their continued denial of reality when it doesn't suit them is quite remarkable. I'm not sure any other Western administration in recent decades (other than Israel) has such a flexible relationship with the truth.

hmm - the video presenter and most of the comments are like ' no way would a 30-06 round not go right through - some even suggesting the guy on the roof was a cover for another shooter with a lower powered rifle Martin Luther King was shot with the same calibre rifle and surgeons could feel the bullet inside him while they tried to save him At 6:01 pm, just as King was leaning over the railing, he was shot by a .30-06 high-powered rifle. He fell backwards immediately. The bullet entered on the right side of his face and neck, and he began bleedThey were able to palpate the bullet in King's left back, just medial to his left scapula. ing profusely from the neck wound. Andrew Young was one of the first individuals to attend to King. He initially thought King was dead, but felt a pulse. As King lay bleeding on the second floor balcony of the motel, his head was placed on a pillow, his wound was covered with a towel, and a blanket was placed on his torso. He demonstrated some movement of his mouth, but he did not speak after the shooting and quickly lost consciousness.19 As the surgeons further explored the wound they could see that the bullet had injured the spine at the C7 and T1 vertebral levels. The spinal cord was also transected at that site. They were able to palpate the bullet in King's left back, just medial to his left scapula.

Well, here is a picture of health, hoping I look tha good when I am 80.... Lights being on but no one is home - official photos from meeting the King

A lot of sealed cordless batteries have been done so i see no reason why a coms set will not be possible.

Will be interesting to see if they are not total dog shit… personally I would not look past carbon distils with bottom strap and Velcro uppers after owning kliens , bashlins, Buckinghams and some awful honey bros early 90’s own brand things..

Nothing just asking seeing as you are asking personal questions about someone’s medical history. possibly a sign of what’s described below. Like depression and other mental illnesses, addiction is a very real medical disorder that is rooted in brain changes. Alcohol addiction is a complex disease with psychological, biological and social components, and like other chronic illnesses, addiction often involves cycles of relapse and remission

Yes, successfully. What of it?

Good to hear from you Andy. Thought you’d left Arbtalk as haven’t seen your name appear for ages. The upper log will be sawn on the bandsaw as it’s a bit smaller, max diameter about 30 inches / 750mm tapering to 24 inches / 600mm. Following sketch is the current plan for milling. It’s based on what can be achieved with a Woodmizer LT20, 800mm max log dia, 650mm max cut width, 590mm max cant width and 250mm max cut depth. So the log should just fit onto the mill. Hoping to get four quarter sawn 55mm thick planks, 2 either side of the heart. Similar to your suggestion. Plank widths likely to be about 250mm max, if I’m lucky, after sapwood and heart removed. I had wondered about a squarish cant, to remove most of the sapwood, about 600 x 600 then split into quarters for quarter sawing, but the 250mm depth of cut limit wouldn’t be enough for that size of cant. My rule of thumb is a minimum 30inches / 750mm diameter log for quarter sawing which on a good day achieves max 10inch / 250mm wide square edged heartwood planks, then getting progressively narrower. But that needs a bigger bandsaw mill. For the bottom half of the log, a mill with a max cut width of 1m+ and cut depth of 0.5m would have been required and I suspect I’d need to haul the log a long way to find a suitable mill. So the combination of chainsaw and bandsaw milling work for me on this log. Andrew
