Having just come back from Germany and using it for the first time. I'd say impossible using the domestic shuttle. You'll be out on domestic and return with the big lads on the HGV open wagons. From what I saw anyway. Good luck. Blaze the trail and let us know how it goes. Or use the Slow Boat?

You and Igor get going Micky have a good one bud 👍

Good Morning Damp, at least that poxy wind has stopped. Last day locally before starting Tadley. Have fun.

I bet after 38+ years in the business you struck a mega bonus structure deal pete for selling a new machine 😁 While you are back in work your pal Hutch is beating his chopper every day dreaming of the big stuff.

Crickey that is a big word for a tuesday 🤣

Raining all morning though light (according to the forecasts) Doing that thing where you change your mind countless times about going to work or not.

Had some heavy rain in the evening but not expecting any today. Got some quotes to organise and need some info from the Ufkes factory so at the desk for the most part. Be good y'all. Hon, Key, Dory.

Well, whether the English customs are as hot I can’t say. You can get a professional importer to oversee the process for a relatively modest fee. Biggest thing will be the certificate phytosanitaire to prove it’s not carrying diseases etc.

Morning all , Mild with heavy prolonged showers . Happy Tuesday 🙂

Good for you Micky and funk the frogs 🤣 Some nut job pinched a load of snails over there i seen in the news.

I imported a chipper from the UK and was ‘caught’ by French customs in Dieppe. Luckily I’d done all the paperwork, much to their disappointment.

Im considering buying a used Sawmill thats on a trailer package from Europe. As I understand it I'd be liable for 20% vat on the purchase price and have to show its origin of manufacture. How easy/difficult is it navigating to and on/off of the LeShuttle with a 7m plus trailer? How likely am I to be "caught" by customs with a used machine and told to cough up? Any advice?

Do you know who Hunter S Thompson was? Lighten up Davey lad. I prescribe a copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, (the book, the film is pretty crap), and two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that you'll need all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

Ah well thats currently beyond my skills and I dont have anything else that it would stack with. I was intending to print a load of chain storage boxes that I want to stack, but still looking for a good design. It came from here - if you click customise you can easily alter all of the dimensions Parametric Rugged Container by ExtRuben MakerWorld: Download Free 3D Models MAKERWORLD.COM BASIC GENERATORThis parametric container is ideal for creating suitable cases for various tools and small parts.

Looks quite heavy duty, but doesn't look very ergonomic to use. I saw one in use, they had 1 lad operating the controls, and another lad loading logs and putting his hands in by the wedge!

You TDS sufferers might want to take a break from your 6th form student type socialist anti Trump mutual wank fest and go back and take a look at some actual statistics and figures regarding the percentage wealth increases of the likes of Clinton, Obama and Biden pre and post presidential terms. Compare it to Trumps if you are feeling sensible. Unfortunately it will mean dealing with ” facts” which as we know is extremely difficult for TDS afflicted leftards.

I dunno, his illustrator from back in the day seems to have produced plenty of Trump work. Ralph Steadman.

some of the older saws I have were ran on mixtures of 25;1, and some even 16;1 when stripping them I often find pure oil in the carbs,the petrol being long evaporated, back then they would often use just plain engine oil, they all lasted decades on the stuff, they say the latest 2t oils don't need so much 50;1 being common. I do run the oldies on modern 2t oils but usually around 30-40 ;1 no issues so far.

Yup, give the Muppet a plane and get a free air base. No corruption to see here, move along. Hunter S Thompson probably checked out at the right time.

If the drive belts to the flywheel are slack the stress control won’t function properly. ive had it happen a few times they need to be pretty tight

but then the idea of defence being in the hands of who ever is willing to fork out the train fare to get to where the fight is falls down to that isn't it? Take on a reasonable sized town, say 50,000 people, 25,000 men, 2,500 willing to go and defend it might work, but take on a small coastal village, 500 people, 250 men, 25 defenders is an easy foot hold unless there is some centralised way to persuade people from elsewhere to travel over and defend. Back to 'people are selfish' you see.
