  2. 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.
  3. 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

    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..
  11. 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
  12. Yes, successfully. What of it?
  13. 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
  14. Thanks for the sketch and boxing out the heart is my usual approach, typically 3 to 4 inches square. One of my earlier sketches was similar, and I had a few other ideas. On this log, instead of boxing out the heart at the start, I’ll trim each plank after milling, with a circular saw to remove any poor wood or splits close to the heart. Undecided yet whether to also remove the bark and sapwood from each plank as well. Not planning any natural edged designs, but who knows so I may leave a few with the bark on. Hoping to get at least four ray flecked boards from each of the quarters, which if spread / ‘folded’ like a fan, might give a dining table top sized slab of grain and colour matched boards plus the ray fleck figuring. As the growth rings will be close to 90 degrees for all four boards, the light should reflect off adjacent planks in a similar way, creating an appearance of continuity. I’ve previously book matched planks with the growth rings at a shallow angle and the light reflects differently spoiling the intended effect. So, for me, it’s not just the quantity of ray fleck boards that can be milled from a log that matters, I’m also looking for groups of planks which will have matching grain patterns. Andrew
  15. No have you been treated for alcoholism
  16. Have you ever been assessed for neurodivergence?
  17. That’s it guys. The easy answer would have been “ I sailed on HMS Richmond or RFA Fort George” as an example of two I did post launch surveys on and that would have been that. But no that would be too easy so here we are. How is the question above asking for terrorist friendly internet security busting personal information.
  18. Come on then guys that’s the three of you now chipping away. Surely one of you can go through the handful of posts and identify this request for terrorist friendly personal information I apparently according to two of you requested. Are we gonna have to wait as long as you quoted ref eggs on another thread I wonder BQ. Facts and evidence guys 👍👍👍👍
  19. I've done it with lots of other things. My shaver for example, swapped the weak 18650 1.2ah cells for 3ah. Years back I did it on several bluetooth headphones, they had 60-120mah little lipo pouch cells. I did upgrade a couple with much larger cells, I had to modifiy the plastic case. The better one, I took the case off entirely and set it in epoxy - it needed to fit in motorbike lid, great until it fell down a storm drain. Basicically anything thats not using 18650 cells is likely to be lipo pouch cells. However there are some new types to be aware of - instead of a max voltage of 4.2v, some now go upto 4.35v. If you put a standard 4.2v cell in a 4.35v device, you are likely to get fire. The old one should be marked, also you can measure it when fully charged to be sure.
  20. I've got a mate who's a bit of a mechanical/electronic wizard (I just nod when he starts on the wiggly amps stuff). I'll ask if he's prepared to have a go or any suggestions if someone's got a knackered set to play with.
  21. Oh the irony!
  22. It’s your inability to think before you let your petty personal grievances get the better of you and post up on something that you were never mentioned in that got you here. You can’t provide nothing because there was never anything in the first place. You ran off at the mouth with a load of arrogant bs assumptions. You know the saying don’t you 🤷‍♂️
  23. All I can find is that it is only combatible with a 5v/1000mA input charger - I'm hoping that there might be something on the side of the battery pack once it's open but am maybe being overly optimistic.
  24. Comprehension has got zero to do with it. Put up the evidence or admit you can’t, ( as is blatantly obvious) alternatively stop posting your assumptions/lies fuelled by personal grievances rather than reality or fact. Called out and can’t get out of it you BS merchant.
  25. Distel carbons Velcro upper with spikepod bottoms. Couldn’t recommend more
